    Do quail pee?

    I've got the hutch designed with a wire front also. If I had room, I would have made just single-stack pens, let the poop fall to the ground and shoveled it into compost every few days, but unfortunately I have a limited space and have to stack the pens into a hutch, making the poop trays...

    Do quail pee?

    I'm planning to use plexiglass cut to my own spec for the trays along with a clear corrugated weather proof top to allow light transmission through the stack. I have water access right next to the quail coop so it shouldn't be too bad to brush the majority of the refuse off and then hit the...

    Do quail pee?

    Perfect, thank you! That's what it looked like but I wanted to make sure before I committed to the design.

    Do quail pee?

    I have my first group of Coturnix in the brooder box but I have the floor in pine chips so I can't tell if they pee or if they just poop. I'm in the process of designing the poop tray to seperate different levels of my quail hutch which will have wire floors and need to design the tray...

    Anyone from Missouri?

    Woo-Hoo!! More Sedalia people! Since my last post I ended up with a hatch of 47 Coturnix quail so I'm officially a quail farmer now, haha. It looks like I'm probably a few months away from a steady supply of quail eggs so if anyone in the area is ever interested in a few for hatching give me...

    Hello from a newbie and a quick question

    Ok, relaxed now :) I hadn't mentioned it in earlier posts but after getting the initial high humidity to drop, I closed the vent again and it was with the vent closed and the outer water trough filled that I was obtaining the mid 40's. I have the turner installed so I don't have a lot of extra...

    Anyone from Missouri?

    I'm a newbie here too! I'm 5 days into my first-ever-anything hatch with several dozen Coturnix Quail. I'm in the Sedalia area. Excited to find this forum and the loads of shared info!

    Hello from a newbie and a quick question

    So now another question: After getting the humidity tamed, it had been running mid 40's. I work nights so I looked last night before going to work and humidity was the same but apparently the water trough wasn't as full as it looked so, by the time I got home, the water was gone and humidity...

    Hello from a newbie and a quick question

    I can't speak for the egg that got broken because I don't remember for sure but I did have several other eggs that are larger and appeared to be closer to the opposing turning rails than the others. I moved these to the outer rows as suggested and it looks like everything is working well. I'll...

    Hello from a newbie and a quick question

    Thank you very much for the info! I think I did possibly have a cracked egg, I ended up with one egg that was split either from already being cracked or it looks like it was big enough that it could have also been "scissored" by the turner as it moved... either way, it was cracked and mostly...

    Hello from a newbie and a quick question

    I just looked the eggs over and I can't see any cracks but I guess that doesn't mean there are none. Is this going to adversly affect the hatch and should I look more closely for the possible cracked egg or should I just let it ride?

    Hello from a newbie and a quick question

    Hello to all from Mid Missouri! First off, thank you for a wonderful source of information and this seems like a great group of people! I've been reading on the forum for a few weeks while preparing for my first Coturnix Jumbo Brown hatch. As recommended by several, I ran the incubator...
