Such a good article!! Thank you!!!

What type of environment do you have your quail in?? It must be an awesome aviary or pen. Any pictures of your set up??

How are your valley chicks doing?? I hope very well. What an awesome hen you have!!

I have had mountain quail in my house (Yes, more than one as they are very social). My male mountain actually used to sing to me - we had quite the conversations! He was SUCH a delight! A friend also had a single hatch quail that lived 5 years as a house pet, complete with "friends" (dogs...

Just thinking: Do you think baby bantams (maybe a week older) would also teach them? I have also read about the hand feeding but never have had to (yet).

I have until a week ago (my dogs set mine free). Wonderful birds! I had one I raised in the house that sang to me "Caruso". SO fun! I am currently looking again for breeders.

OMG - SOOOO creative! AND reused articles. Genius! So appreciated this over cast rainy day (Seattle). Can't say enough....

No nappy. He was a single chick hatched from an egg; none of the other eggs hatched. SO they hand fed him, kept him warm, etc. They have an amazing bunch of animals - dogs that snuggle chicks, etc.

Not that I have read. The thread clearly states that 1-2% of human population have these genes, not the number of genes the population has. It is theorized this is because only a few interbreedings of the two "species" took place. I know they have found one ancient skeleton of a female with...

I have a friend who had an indoor quail for 5 years that was extremely tame. He was part of their household and acted like a pet. He snuggled up with them, ate from their hands, and was considered part of their pack. "Woodstock" would jump onto their shoulders where he would stay as they...

DO you happen to know what sexes the trio are? 2 females; 1 male?

I found these articles: 1) ancient-dna-and-neanderthals 2) What does it mean to have Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA? Several direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies report how much DNA a person has inherited from prehistoric humans, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans. This information...

You sound like a researcher (like me). Do you have any articles/books you might point me towards with more of this DNA info (specifically human dna)?

Actually no. Only 2% of the human population has Neanderthal DNA. Modern man and Neanderthals actually developed from a common ancestor of the two groups and are/were subspecies of each other. Modern man developed separately from the Neanderthal and migrated to Europe later. A few of the two...

Perfection!! for the name of the group. Or Newbies. Have fun with them! One friend (who bought some eggs from me via ebay) had one chick quail grow into quite the pet. He lived for 5 years along with the cats/dogs etc that he still has. "Woodstock" would eat out of their hand, follow them...

I've had a baby get shavings into its eye. I just used regular eye drops to get it out and it was fine. I also use water VERY similar to yours but use one specifically made for quail. The one you have is for chicken chicks - not a big deal as you have taken care of it with the shells. The...

One of the things I do is tilt the heater plate slightly. That way, the ones who are cold can still get to the direct heat but others can just keep warm if they chose. I just raise two of the legs on one side up a a half inch or so. You are obviously doing everything right! I have never had...

HI - hope all is well! I increase the humidity to 65% when I lock down. A few seconds of air is fine - remember the hen has to get off the eggs to eat! And I don't turn the eggs after locking down - the chicks need to be able to orientate themselves.

F1 quail - wow!! I had some F1 valley quail when living in No. California. Do. you have any Mountain Quail available? In the future?

I had no idea that birds were opposite from mammals in sex determination!! Thanks! Very interesting on how nature evolves and works sometimes. Personally, I found out I have Neanderthal DNA - that explains alot!!
