So hubby was messing around with the incubator before bed and basically turned it off. I tried to stabilize it this morning but then the temperature went insanely high. I sprayed the eggs with water and checked for signs of life but they were all ling dead. I think they died overnight since I...

Woke up this morning to a baby quail running around the incubator. My son and daughter then sat and watched another one hatch. I will post some pics when I get home.

I am really hoping that some will start to hatch early and hatch on Thursday. On Thursday my daughter turns 4. I thought it would be fun to try and set them to hatch on her birthday.

Only about 2/3 of the eggs made it to Lockdown...there were a ton of clears

Tomorrow is day 14 for my quail eggs. I haven't really candled and plan on doing it as I take them put of the turner and put them onto baskets for Lockdown.

I have 24 or 25 eggs due on Thursday March 26. It is my first time attempting to hatch quail and they should be due on my daughters b-day so I am really hoping they hatch.

Today I got five more quail. One male and four females. They are almost a year old and haven't been laying because they didnt have lighted pens over the winter.

I HATE clipping nails. I am picking up some year old quail tomorrow and I am bringing nail clippers and begging the owner to clip each bird's nails before I put it in the cage to take them home.

Ok...everyone can breath again...it was just a broken toenail... The blood was on her chest from her scratching herself with the broken toenail. I was so terrified for a minute there. My husband had promoted to help me trim her nails tonight. They look like they haven't been done in ages if...

Help! MOMMA BIRD IS BLEEDING!!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/960157/pet-quail-bleeding-how-do-i-treat-it

Sorry I have no clue about quail colors... Until my eggs hatch I only have one quail and I just got her. And she is spoiled rotten already

So how long should I expect her to keep laying before she stops laying in protest to all these changes? We got her Thursday night and she has given us an egg a day so far...

She is the wild/pharoh color. I went out to buy fertile chicken eggs and was given her for free when I mentioned I wanted to start raising quail and had some in an incubator. She was the sole survivor of their attempt to raise quail on chicken feed and not supplement their protein. They all...

The lady I got her from had stopped collecting her eggs so she had a pile of them all over her cage. I got her Thursday night. Friday morning she layer an egg and just walked away and left it. Today I thought she hadn't laid any egg but I found her laying in a little nest. She got up to eat and...

I have quail eggs in my incubator and I would love to be able to put them with her once they hatch. Everyone kept saying that quail don't like new things so I worried about bringing her home and changing everything for her but this girl only took a day to realize the new stuff was special food...

I has to clean out the cage and didn't find the egg until I dumped it. I had noticed her in the nest almost every time I checked her but had though she was just sitting to be comfy. I put some more hay in the cage and put the egg in and put her back in the cage. We will see what she does. She is...

How do you tell the difference between a hen who is just building a nest for comfort and a hen who is starting to go broody?

Yeah when my husband got home from work my daughter told him all about how she had seen Momma Bird lay a baby egg.

Today...wait it was actually yesterday... I bought a bag of Game Bird feed that has 30% Protein. So far she has refused to eat any of the tuna or chicken I have offered her. I am still trying to find a feed mill near me to buy fish meal from. Most in my area use soybean meal which is 40%...

For me 'treats' are anything they need grit to eat. BOSS to add some extra fat to her diet. Chicken for some added protein...things like that. I don't care if she is an older bird. As long as she is healthy. I am trying to figure out what color she is. I am thinking Pharoh?
