    Cortunix quail chick falling over (overheated?)

    Thanks, I tried all day. It wasn't swallowing and I noticed the underlying stomach turned black I think they had navel infections. If it was a chicken chick I would look at this for maybe the temperature was too high: https://www.hobbyfarms.com/how-to-check-protect-chick-navel-health/ Next...

    Cortunix quail chick falling over (overheated?)

    Thanks for the reply. I have the Nurture Right 360 - my first two times I had all hatch on exactly Day 18 no issues, so I hadn't inserted thermometers. Those hatches were a lower brooder temperature than I did this time (and eggs varied from a farm & from me, instead of this time) So far I'm...

    Cortunix quail chick falling over (overheated?)

    Replying to myself but my mains needs are: Is it likely temperature, neurology, or bacterial? If temperature: do I expect no other eggs to hatch? If bacterial - also need to know before handling eggs the same way in the future If neurological, then likely need to cull

    Cortunix quail chick falling over (overheated?)

    One person shared they incubate 98.6 - 102.2°F but I've generally seen 99.5 - 100°F Do you think my issue was a temperature problem? Or bacterial? Genetics: Batch 1 had babies (Batch 2). Batch 2 gold rooster mated with Batch 1 (golds & tuxedo) to give me these hatching eggs. It mostly mated...

    Cortunix quail chick falling over (overheated?)

    Wanting to learn for the future I must have switched brooder temperature when I deep cleaned it... I entered into incubating with the mistake of my brooder set to 101.5. This is the first hatch I had fail. I'm finishing Day 19 and 25 eggs unhatched. 2 chicks hatched on Day 18, feet and legs...

    My Cortunix quail laid an egg that is 2 cm instead of 3.5+ cm. What causes that? It's snowing here and my pet sitter to give calcium but wanted to ask y'all

    Anyone "raising" mealworms to give as treats?

    If I don't breed them, is it cheaper to buy live or dried mealworms? I bought a freeze dryer so I'm open to buying large quantities to freeze dry, but I don't know how to calculate the difference between dried (lbs) and live (often sold by count) and I'm new at this Yard has a pest problem so...

    Potential Bumblefoot?

    How long did it take to clear? My quail developed bumble foot when I was sick and my chicas don't like being held so I'm trying to figure out how to get them to soak & heal up

    Hello quail friends

    My dog is bothered by them 😂 Once quail are laying eggs, you can crush empty eggshells to feed back to them to reduce how much calcium (oyster shells*) are needed but shells don't provide 100% of what's needed for their diet. You don't give young birds extra calcium too early, I'm not sure the...

    Hello quail friends

    Hi all, I've been a reader for years - finally made an account haha. Used the advice here to hatch my first cortunix quail and they're doing great! 12 of them are 3 weeks old (I think a mixture with Italian, pearl). Started from Craigslist eggs 👍 I have a soy allergy so they're on a soy-free...
