    my thieving otter eggs are in the incubator- need photos of setups please

    I am not sure, i bought a solar light and just started leaving it on low at night the last week. Daylight hours are slowly getting less. i would say they have had at least 12 hours of light before supplemental. I am trying to find a solar one that would turn on for just a few hours after dusk...

    so about 9 weeks was when i got the first egg. Can i do anything different to try to get them to lay a week earlier or is that still average?

    thank you, i never have issues with chicks, just with the quail. since im new to quail, im just going to guess somehow the brinsea wasnt warm enough so thought trying this one with good reviews would be better.

    ok, i did buy a trailer load of "sand" its ground rock, so can i just boil it in water or something to clean it then give it to them? i dont want to give them coccidia. -not sure how to dry it back out though :)

    Bloody poop- babies, what do I give them?

    not quail, but i had coccidia outbreak for the first time with my chicks. It was terrible, i lost 5, bought corrid, but they kept dieing slowly. I ended up using a sulfa. that i use for my goat kids for coccidia and it worked(i tried toltrazuril which didnt work). Im not sure if it was the time...

    so i think the birds are still to young, but i was able to vent sex one of the "brown" ones as a male, so he went in with the other males. no really fighting yet, so thats nice. I received my bass cages in the mail! Purchased 6 to start out. they are 2x3x1 and made with 1 inch wire and 1x1/2...

    i was just afraid there would be more boys then girls. since i dont have any prior experience with quail i think they are growing well, shiny feathers and talkative.

    Maran with swollen belly/bum

    I don’t like culling either, I also dont eat meat, but the broom method is the easiest for me, my hands shake too much for a hatchet. I pull hard enough to pull the head off, I want to make sure the chicken is dead, after that just walk away for a bit as the chicken will move like crazy.
