Wahoo mini incubator, thats what I hatch in, , so much fun! Here is the best place. I do have an english book called practical quail keeping, by sarah and martin barrett , thats a good read.

The light on works with horses too... guess thats why spring is full of baby animals. They use lights in commercial laying operations too.

New Zealand ;) Cages are expensive. My birds are small kinda thrush size, everything I have read says they vsnish if you free range them. My csts and dog wont attempt the chooks, but a teeny quail is a tasty nibble. They also startle and fly...I'd hate yours to evaporate. Lots of people keep...

I saw a hoop coop on here actually... :) simple, but probably useless if its snowing where you are now :) I thought we'd build one like this.. http://www.chooks.co.nz/p/257/rabbittube but pretty it up with paint and embellishments for the kiddlets and the fact its in my back garden ... Mine...

I read they like piles of branches to hide in too. Im new st this so we're building a hoop coop, easy to shift, we have rats and mice and cats..but noyhing else. I have to go sex mine. Slightly daunted, they're 5 weeks old. So much fun though

Drove me crazy finding food for my quail. In the end I boosted the protien level with a blood and bone meal. Talk about chasing my tail. My farm store has to get it in specially.

just hatched my first ones ever too..they are just so neat! what a cutie! best tv ever!

So what proportion? Or just adlib? Very rich food ... little ferocious dinosaur relatives ;)

Hmmmmm, so do you think if I process freeze dried beef and sprinkled it in that would be suitable? People seem to feed regular chick crumbles when theyre super small, then a high protein mix once theyre bigger. I was eyeing my chicky babes food this morning and will start soaking it for them...

Our feed stores are grazing animal stores, they do a great chook food but meat birds are uncommon. Im in new zealand and I look at the suggestions on here and have no clue as to how to source them here. Ive just been reading about fermented and sprouted grains like barley and chick crumbles...

Mm fish meal, ..people keep loooing at me like im bonkers when I tell them I need high protein feed. I am considering the freeze dried cat/dog meat option as its pure meat. Comes in venison and lamb, so cuts out the cat biscuits option which is poultry based. My quail eggs have another 10 days...

Cuteness! Am trying to figure out a good protein booster for chick starter. Someone suggested cat biscuits, ground up , cant source meal worms dried, just live. Will see if I can find bonemeal.
