I get a solid white egg every now and then. I Aldo noticed that the inside of dome of the eggs looks blue. Nothing like those in the pictures, but blue enough to tell the difference. I'll get pictures next time.

The kicker to the crazy lady with multiple layers is... When I called her out on it she said she bought them from me. Which is impossible because I have never sold any. I've sold eggs the last couple of weeks, but non that would be laying. I finally blocked her because she was getting my...

Have any of you had or heard of a coturnix quial laying multiple eggs a day. Had someone claiming she had hens that laid up to 5 eggs a day. I told her to call Guinness Book Of Works Records.

Those are the cutest little things. I must have some. Did you find a thread for them? I need to get on it to learn about them.

I'd make sure and have a back up plan because they are really stinky.

Oh Law yes I made the mistake of naming one of them this last round.... At about two or three weeks he jumped up and hit the top of the brooder or injured his self some how. He had a crooked neck and stood funny. I didn't think he was suffering so I let him grow. Because I could tell him...

I have about 50 chicken hens. I got two eggs today. I have 5 quail hens. I got 5 eggs today. My light is for the eggs. Its not strong enough wattage to produce much heat from the top of the house. My quail are already use to the cold from being in a unheated garage. Its been getting close to...

The light is for eggs and to hopefully keep the water from freezing. I'll lower the plastic on the door to make the vent. Yes, they and the rabbits are both stinky.

Okay I got all the doors and area below the hutch wrapped in plastic. I added a 75 watt bulb to the quail side. Now I have a question. Will they need vents to get the stinky smell out. If so were do I put it? I've been told the rabbits will be fine that they do good in the cold. Its supposed to...

Would it be better if I moved them back in the garage for the winter? I had to move the silly things into the covered house last night. The garage is a cinder block building. Its not heated so the temps are just as cold, but no drafts.

I processed the last of the quail. I moved the breeders. Into a section of a chicken coop made into a rabbit hutch. They are in the right section. Its 2x4ft. The back section is a wooden box. The front has a wire bottom, wire front and wire inside wall. I closed up the big hole an made a...

How long do they live?

Okay I need someone to tell me its okay to process the quail hens. In the first batch of 12 I had 3 hens 9 roos. Easy kept one roo and the hens. These are now my breeders. I hatched off 3 groups of 12 from them. Group #1 5 hens 4 roos. Group #2 cat ate. Group #3 1 hen 7 roos. Its time to...

I've heard the same thing about winter being bad. What do I need to do prepare my quail for winter? They are in a block building so there shouldn't be drafts, but it did drop below freezing in there last year.

Well this am they were dry and fluffy again with no deaths. I went a head and put them on shavings since I won't be home to rescue them today.

Well all I can say is I must have been extremely lucky raising the first ones. The second round was ate by the cat and now the third are trying to kill their selves too. Dome how they had knocked the paper towel from the bottom of the brooder into the water. It wicked the water out and flooded...

Round 3 hatching now. All the cats are locked out. If anything goes after those babies it'll have to move a 5 gallon bucket with a brick on top of it.

I have eggs. Thanks guys.

Yes I put 12 more in this evening.

Well I wont make that mistake again.
