Sill ,Fine looking quail , they look like silver grey a rare colour type Kudos to your culture techniques , fine to hear of someone so kind to their birds.Cheers

Not a problem to add oyster and grit to their feed , I grind the oyster shell sometimes in a coffee grinder. An adult quail will consume about 70 grams of feed per day. Vitamins etc are available for poultry TSC stores is a good bet for off the shelf.Often the feed and calcium leaves behind a...

I find light, temperature and protein are qualifiers for laying.With light I find duration is most important,intensity is less important. To intense, bright light will create agitation, 16 hour duration works best for me, I use very low light led lighting. With temperature the cooler the less...

I agree with Fat Daddy you might look at (https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/817139...ail-sizes) there are some comparatives there,jumbo usually refers to heavy weight ,get a kitchen scale,digital type and weigh them . Nice birds look healthy, cheers.

A question to coturnix quail breeders, I have interest in qualifying and understanding the term Jumbo as used with cot quail. Obviously the overweight and size would qualify a bird as being jumbo, for me a quail over 350 grams fits the bill. By selectively breeding bigger birds we would have a...

Yo, it's actually a Lobster Claw, my quail are always freaked out when someones around that doesn't look like them.Cheers ,Happy thanksgiving

Looking good, heh we use the claw too.

Here is a maybe ,had you considered air exchange ,quality. The most sophisticated is a hepa filter system , simplest is a filter and air exchange. Obviously the quail need air, they need ventilation as well.They need a volume of clean air entering and the problem is what exits.ie dust dander. If...

Nope ,scaling back on quail for the winter and have less eggs and interest, we will probably keep half as many quail and use the eggs fresh next season. Many other projects on board . Less enthused .The concept is relegated to the land of make believe.

Ya kinda like weapons of mass destruction. Moisture, temperature, are the common variables with germs and bacteria that naturally are effected , the sun affects these drying and warming ,but it is considered that there are more effective means . Alot of sanitizers use ph balance , acids and...

Ultraviolet C UVC 280 – 100 nm 4.43 – 12.4 eV short wave, germicidal, completely absorbed by the ozone layer and atmosphere The atmosphere blocks about 77% of the Sun's UV, almost entirely in the shorter UV wavelengths, when the Sun is highest in the sky (zenith). Of the ultraviolet...

Vinegar with a ph of 3 or less is a qualified disinfectant been used for years, created by fermentation like most antibiotics,UV from the sun is a, fairy tale regards disinfecting, hardly any short wave Utraviolet reaches the earth, Wikipedia re ultraviolet explains this and the germicidal...

Humidity is a concern regards cold , much like wind chill, the effect of dampness and temperature variation can create the "chill" effect,otherwise known as dew point, cutting drafts and allowing ventilation to exhaust humidity can help (circulation) . Ambient temperature that is cold and humid...

Sorry I stand corrected, where's the gulf of mixco.?

Quail in my opinion are feral birds ,much like finches, both species have been held captive for centuries some say domesticated. To me domestication refers to responsiveness like chickens will return to the coop , will go broody and rear young in captivity, will free range and return to their...
