    Day 16, going to lockdown!

    I just received my GQF cabinet incubator for my quail. I had them in another incubator that was turning and stayed at 99.5 F and 45% humidity up until now. They are now in a hatching tray in the new incubator which is at 99.5-100 F and pushing 60% humidity. I had to toss two eggs already that...

    Losing some quail the first day

    Thank you! I lost 6 more last night. All looked like trampling. Setting up a second brooder tote today to pick out the small ones. I have some quail that look really big and some that look terribly small in comparison. I'm not sure if they were different hatch batches but it appears that way...

    Male or female coturnix quail

    Thank you! I think I'll try vent checking them if I have a one that is questionable. I have 5 eggs in the incubator. Hoping I didn't disrupt them too much and they keep laying. I need more females to have enough to feed our family. :fl
