    One egg per day?

    I think your friend is telling you stories. Quail do not consistently 2 eggs a day and 3 if even possible would be extremely rare. Chances are your friend isn't collecting the eggs daily.

    Help, this quail has been picked at

    Yes, the females should have the markings on their chest where the males are usually a mostly solid color. If you watch YouTube, I recommend taking a look at some of My shire farms videos, he does a VERY good job of showing the differences.

    Best Incubators for Beginners

    I started out with a Farm Innovator incubator and bought an egg turner for it on Amazon and it did pretty good atleast 50% hatch rate on shipped eggs. I now have a Brinsea Ovation 56EX and this thing is incredible. It comes with an automatic egg turner and even has a system to keep the humidity...

    Quail eggs fully developed not hatching

    Are you going by the readings for temp. and humidity on the incubator or did you place a hygrometer in the incubator? ALL incubators lie. I have to set my incubators to 100.1 or .2 to get it actual temp to 99.5. I usually have my temp set at 99.5 to 99.7 and during incubation I keep humidity at...

    No waste feeders Failure to thrive

    With my birds, I wait until they are 4 weeks old and I place them in their cages before using the feeder ports on them. I've attached a picture of the only feeder I will use in my brooders. Any younger than that and they won't be able to get to the food and any larger birds will block them. I...

    Feed Ports

    I've been thinking about trying that too.

    Feed Ports

    Has anyone tried using these feed ports with their Quail? They require a 3.15" hole and I'm worried that they will be too big and can't find a 2" version anywhere.

    They are highly addictive. We always feel we never have enough of them.

    119 Falb Fee Quail eggs enter Lock-down.

    Awesome. I can hardly wait until they start hatching, I plan to get some videos of them hatching and then after I place them in the brooder. LOL, I still get just as excited as I did when we first got into Quail when they start hatching.

    119 Falb Fee Quail eggs enter Lock-down.

    I ordered them from MyShireFarms. I LOVE their eggs and have never had any problems with them. This is our 3rd and largest order from them.

    119 Falb Fee Quail eggs enter Lock-down.

    I just placed 119 Falb Fee Quail eggs into lock-down. I can hardly wait to see how many of them hatch and what they look like. We are hoping for really good results. This will be our largest hatch to date and this time they are in our new Brinsea Ovation 56EX incubator. These are shipped eggs...

    The new batch!

    Those are some beautiful birds. I can hardly wait to see what ours look like. I have 120 Falb Fee eggs in the incubator right now and just like when we first got started with Quail, I still get excited and hate the 2 week wait.

    Coturnix Quail keep laying soft egg.

    I have that happen frequently when my birds first start laying. When they first start laying eggs I switch them to a layer feed that has lower protein and higher calcium. Usually withing a few weeks, the eggs are normal like the rest of the eggs, sometimes it can take them a little longer. They...

    Game Bird layer feed

    It won't hurt them at all.

    Game Bird layer feed

    The Layer feed is just fine for both. That is what I give mine and have had no problems with it. Purina needs to remove that from the label.

    Possible feed issue???

    The other big thing that I've noticed is the new feed is a LOT more powdery and has a lot of partially crushed corn in it that my birds can't eat.

    Possible feed issue???

    If the 3 pics load correctly, 01 is the starter feed I WAS giving them and 02 is the Layer feed. 03 is the new Layer feed that the grain elevator makes and is the only tag I get with the feed. The starter feed has no tag with it. I just emailed Purina to see if they can tell me what is wrong...

    Possible feed issue???

    I have a very brief analysis sheet for the layer feed but nothing on the starter feed. I've decided to go back to what I was feeding them before and will have a talk with the people at the Grain elevator. The mix that I get from them is called Check-R-Lay and Check-R-Mix L.C. by Ralston Purina.

    Abusing me

    LOL, that's not abuse. Everytime I enter my Quail room, my birds start chattering and I have a few that have started making a loud sounds like crickets. I think they are happy to see me and are letting me know. I love to listed to them chattering and singing.
