I have a white male Texas A&M, 4 regular brown gals, & one Tibetan with red (Rosseta?) girl. We just hatched 8 chicks last night. 3 I'm confident are regular browns but the others I'm excited to discover. My fav is a little golden belly chick with dark stripe on face & dark back (Tuxedo?)...
I have 6 coturnix, all about 8 weeks old, 1 male, 5 female.One of my girls a week ago decided to start mounting the other girls (yes it's a girl & egg laying). I believe she is also responsible for plucking the feathers off the front neck area of most of the other girls. I noticed a few days...
I have 9 baby quail 5/6 days old. Everyone is doubled in size & already have their wing feathers mostly in (still covered in shafts) except 1 bird. I believe he was one of the last to hatch from a very small egg & the only egg in his row (closest to the heat source) to hatch. Basically the only...
My second attempt at hatching (first attempt got only 1 chick). Mix of regular & A&Ms in a home made incubator. They've been coming out since day 18, some needed assistance (membrane just wouldn't break after full zip & fighting for an hour or 2 (lost one because my toddler kept screaming from...
What will you get & will you get fertile/surviving offspring from a regular brown and a Texas A&M? Silly question I'm sure since they are all Coturnix, & what will they look like? Our first hatch yielded one little brown chick. If it turns out to be a boy all is right with the world. If it's a...
Just getting ready for lock-down. I have big water pans on either sides if the eggs (only way I could get my humidity stable). I'm cutting a box to put the eggs in so if they hatch while we are out they don't go drawn themselves. How high do the sides need to be for them to not get over first...
Good Evening, I have 15 coturnix eggs we are currently attempting to hatch. My home made brooder will be a 20g aquarium. What watt infrared bulb should I be getting so I don't make fried quail? Thanx in advance.
Hi Everyone, my husband, 2 young sons & I have grown fond of quail (is plural quail or quails?). We had 3 laying girls & 1 boy last year & loved them dearly but living in an apartment we chose to send them off to a lovely new home at a hobby farm. We are however continuing the life lessons for...
Good Evening All, I am new to this site. We previously had a few pet Coturnix (we were teaching our young sons about where our food (eggs) come from. We loved the little gals (& little guy) but alas they went to live on a free range hobby farm (better than our apartment). Our next life lesson...
