I have 5, 4 week old silver quail. They are wild type pattern. So if I'm understanding correctly they would be SI/si for the silver gene? I've read somewhere they need to be male SI/SI bred to female SI/si to get proper silvers. Is this correct or can I breed my heterozygous quail together and...

I moved mine out at 1 week, our lows are in the upper 70s and highs in the mid to lower 90s and they are doing fine with no heat

My BCM Hen is a very healthy very large young pullet that has just started laying, her first egg was soft and her 2nd one today was paper thin and the dark coloring on the egg was spotty and just washes off. I am assuming this is because these are her first eggs? They have access to oyster...

Father of my newly hatched chicks. anyone have an idea of what his color is called or what his chicks with buff orpingtons will look like?

My night time temps are more than likely going to be about mid 60s to 70s for the next 2 months or so. If im reading right other places i should be ok to put them outside without heat at around 3.5 weeks?

5 out of 13 have hatched now, more on the way. Looks like they are all going to be yellow with little black dots on the back of their head. Moms are buff orpingtons and dads a white, black breasted easter egger with splotches of red on his wings.

Nice little surprise to come home to. 5 out of13 are pipped a little early at 19.5 days.

Mothers were buff orpingtons and father is a white and red easter egger. I put 10 eggs in the incubator on 08-05 and 10 under a hen the same day, the hen ended up accidentally crushing a few of the eggs. I removed the eggs from under her and ended up with 15 eggs in the incubator. I go into...

That's what I was hoping for, hope he gets the hang soon, he is turning I to a very pretty bird.

We have 30 hens 24 are 2 years old and 6 are the same age as the roos

I have lost a few hens due to various issues the last year and lost 2 more today from the 110+ heat wave. So I'm wanting to hopefully hatch some chicks out before the end of august to have more eggs in spring. I have a good sized 20 week old bcm roo, he hasn't shown any interest in the ladies...

The quail all survived today, it got up to 109 with 60% humidity. I had them under a tree in the shade. I did lose 2 chickens sadly.

How hot can quail take? I have 5 gallon buckets connected to waters so they have basically unlimited water, I also have tarps over the cages. However its supposed to get to 105f tomorrow with a heat index near 110 or so. Anyone have experience with this kind of heat and their quail?

About 15 or 16 weeks old now. He has been changing a lot the last 2 weeks.

One of my girls, no eggs just yet, but soon.

I assuming she is getting somewhat close to laying, with her comb reddening so much?

16ish weeks old, I think it's a pullet but the comb has me wondering since it looks like it has 3 ridges.
