Thank you. so far they all seem good they are all laying nex to eachother and eating and drinking fine. it looking like he just got one of his toes stuck on something and caused it to bleed a little. he/ she is walking fine and no fighting so far
I hatched out 8 coturnix quail out about 2 and a half weeks ago. everything seems to be going good but today there was some blood in the cage. non of the birds looked injured or anything but a few had blood on them. mainly on their feet. I washed them off an put them in seperat cages to see if i...
GAHHHH mine are just over 2 weeks old and 4 of them have rust spots on them 0.o and 2 look like there starting to rust a little :( i hope my luck isnt this bad where i got only 2 females. I didnt know they showed this early to be able to sex. IS THIS NORMAL?!?! other than that they all seem...
thanks for that info thoes 2 seem to do no matter the time of day. seems like they are just doing it for fun but i could be wrong i guess. and if i get 2 or more males i was going to put them in seperate cages
Yes they are feathering now. i cant believe how fast they grow have fun hatching out 50+ quail LOL going to be an experience i dont think im ready to try out lol. these 8 are a hand full
im using a hovabator and its styrofoam and i got some good hatches out of it :D out if the 10 i put in lock down 8 hatched, and this is my first time trying to hatch quail. guess it also depends on the brand you are using. Its shouldnt be long now if its beak is pipping out :D
I never saw the pips in mine it all happened so fast i looked at them in the morning with no pipping then went to the store and came back like 3 or 4 hours later and there was 6 in the bator then the remaining 2 that hatched were with in an hour later. so it might take you buy suprise like it...

if it was 99 that should be fine. leave the eggs in there for a few extra days the one degree could make then have a delayed hatch depending how early in the incubation process it was. if they dont hatch in say 3 days float test them like substained said. they could just be duds from rough...
oh and I would put mutiple tempature gauges to see how consistant the temp is. all my 8 hatched in the same day with a few hours apart from eachother. but of course 100 eggs is alot more so some will hatch at different times. were they shipped eggs or did you buy them localy or were they yours...
I had to take it out they are making a mess with the dust LOL. no the other 2 did not hatch but the 8 out of 10 that made it to lock down seem to be doing fine. They sleep ALOT tho. all seem to be doing good with food and water where one ive only seen eat food but that doesnt mean hes not...
