Donnaminifarm1 I keep males and females together without any issues. I currently use cages that are 2 x 2 x 2 that are meant for rabbits that I purchased. I only keep 5 or 6 birds to each cage 1 male and the rest females. I will be switching them this spring to an aviary type pen. I have...

In my experience a wild male and a golden can produce either a wild or a golden. I have no experience with the Tibetan, sorry.

So this sounds like a good topic for discussion. What are the characteristics / requirements for a jumbo to be a jumbo?

A few pages back there was a question on if you could tell the different colors (pharaoh, golden, A&M) by the patterns on the egg shells. At the time I had said that I did believe you could and posted a picture. I WAS WRONG! I have had my quail segregated by coloration for over a month now...

I incubated 46 eggs this last run and got 36 hatched chicks. I have 3 golden 1 A &M white and 7 wild (brown) colored hens. All the males are wild color. Out of the hatch I got 12 golden 3 white and the rest were wild color. I didn't count the number of eggs of each color. But that will be one...

I am not certain but I think you can tell the difference in the eggs by color. I have several golden and wild color females and I get two distinct color patterns on the eggs. In the cages where there are only wild color I only get eggs like the one on the right and in cages where there are...

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it is the fan moving them around?

Day 25 does seem a bit long. I have not had one go past day 19. Most of mine hatch out on day 17

You can get an incubator at tractor supply for less than $60, it may be a better option than building one. My pens are all raised, they are commercial rabbit hutches, and I should have specified that those measurements were inches. No plants in the pens but they do get greens from the garden...

Nikki, From my experiance unless you have the equipment to hatch eggs buy chicks to get started. Although I have found that hatching my own eggs I get a better survival rate. At the moment I have mine in wire pens, 24 x 24 x 16 tall. I have one male and up to 5 females in each pen. I have a...

This morning there are three more, for a total of 4 so far. Ones a buff colored one like one of the females. YAY!

I have a new birth in the family. One baby Coturnix just hatched.

I want to know how you are able to peel them without destroying the egg? I have no luck with that. Are mine just to fresh? Should they sit in the fridge for a week or more? GIVE US YOUR SECRET!!!!

Ok I have a question... If the humidity in the incubator is to high what will happen? I just set up the incubator and got the temp stabilized but the humidity is at 70% not the recommended 50 to 55%. What should I do?

I am not an expert but everything I read says no. Post your results though I am putting about 20 eggs in the incubator tonight.

Thanks it is a lot nicer looking than I expected.

I sure hope so!

WooHoo! I got my first egg today.

Oh yes your smoker recipe would be great!

Sill thanks for the reply. I took away their other water and triggered it myself they are drinking from the cups and I am hoping they get it soon.
