Just put 36 Coturnix eggs in Monday night. This will be the first time I incubated eggs from my own birds :) Also, first time using an automatic turner (why did I wait so long to get one!!!!).
My quail just recently started laying this past month at 10 weeks old. We are at 12 weeks old now, and some of the ladies still haven't started. Adding supplemental light may help this early in the year.
I spent quite a bit of time looking over pretty much every breed of chicken to find one that was friendly, good with kids, and hopefully quiet! Can't wait to get them!
Hello! Been checking out BYC for years, figured I should finally join LOL. I currently have about 40 Coturnix Quail, and am hoping to get started with 3 Buff Orpingtons in the next month.
