Hi! Could this cage work for 4 coturnix quails, 3 females and a male? And could I possibly add more quails in the future? It has a wind protected inside area and also an outside area, do i need to cover it any extra with netting on the ground on the outside area? And what should i use as...
I think she might be traumatized for a past experience. I hatched out 4 quails and (of course) got 3 males and one female (this hen) they grew up fine but when the roos hit sexual maturity they started to peck on her and one day i came in to find a big wound on her head, the males had picked up...
Can someone help me identify these colours? I’m guessing that my male is a manchurian and my females are italians but they might aswell be snowies, does anyone know?
My two females on the left and my male on the right
Hello. I have 4 coturnix quails, one male and 3 females. When my male is trying to breed with one of my females the female is just trying to run away from him and she looks scared. However, my other 2 hens just lay down when they’re getting bred and they don’t run around and panic. What should...
Hi, I came across a quail feed that has 4,20 % caclcium and 23% protein. Would this be fine for both chicks and adults or could the increased calcium level harm the chicks in anyway?
Couldn’t get a good pic sorry, but just candled them and there’s a u shaped air cell on the side on almost all of them. The u shape goes halfway up the egg
I have 7 quail eggs that i will be putting into lockdown in just a few hours. They are shipped eggs and unfortunately 6 out of 7 look like they all have saddled air cells. Should i set them flat when i lockdown or upright in an egg cartoon? What about humidity?
Hello, I ordered 12 fertile quail eggs last Thursday from Germany (I live in Sweden) They shipped out on Friday morning and they will probably arrive tomorrow (Tuesday). That means that when i pick them up they have been in shipping for about 4.5 days. The temperature has been around 0 C so i...
Hello! I have an 8 week old quail hen who hasn’t started laying yet. I fed her on 20% chick starter since that was the only thing I could find in my area but it seemed to work fine and I’ve heard of other people using chick starter for quails. I originally hatched out 4 quails, unfortunately i...
Thank you! Here’s a pic of my silver roo, Hes approximately 5 weeks old. I had to seperate him from the rest since he was being a bit too aggressive towards the female.
Does anyone know what color i will get if i mix a male italian with a female wild? Also what color will i get if i mix a female wild with a male silver? Thanks in advance
Hello everyone! I successfully hatched 4 quail chicks from the supermarket. They are doing really good and growing like crazy. One hatched right on day 18 and the rest on late day 19 / early day 20 so one chick is approximately 2 days older than the rest. The oldest one is about 10 days old and...
Wow!! The first quail just hatched right on day 18 and it was not from the egg that had pipped in fact another one. One hour ago it was just an egg without a pip or anything and when i came to look in the incubator i saw this tiny tiny little chick. I’m so amazed cuz it hatched from a...
I haven’t calibrated them, is it possible to do that with digital thermometers? And also, after how long should I assist the chick if it hasn’t hatched on it’s own? Many thanks in advance
