I have some gambel and bobwhite quails in the incubator usually kept at 100F and 45% to 55% Humidity. Started incubating 7days ago developing good, got home after 5 hours and see the humidity was down to 30% it's back up to it's usual now, but could the humidity drop harm them or kill them?

Hi, I'm hatching Northern Bobwhite Quail and wanted to share my journey with others on this site. The eggs started incubation on July 2nd, 2018, and are expected to hatch on the 24-25th.

So I'm building a coop for my 10 Bobwhite Quail. (2 Males, 8 Females) I've had Bobs before and decided I missed their sweetness, so here I am. I'm just wondering if my dimensions are big enough, because I just heard about Boinking, and I don't want to lose any birds from it. My old quail would...

Hey all - we are new to the site. We have 17 3-week old Bobwhites that have discovered that their new wings allow them to gain distance (sigh). My question is, when is it too early to start clipping wings❓Can I clip them now or should I wait❓Also, I have only learned how to do this on YouTube...

So I got some bobwhite quail instead of my coturnix quail i intended on getting so I'm not as familiar with them. They are 3 weeks old and pretty big already. When do they start laying eggs? When can they get moved from Brooder to outside? I heard they are seasonal layers when is their season...

We have 102 Bobwhite eggs in the incubator and in a few more days they will be going to the hatcher... The Coturnix have been easy to raise in warm weather but this winter was...

Hi, this is my first incubation. I didn't realize I was supposed to put a nonslip surface in the incubator. I raised humidity yesterday for lockdown, day 20. Will they hurt their feet when they hatch? Bobwhite quail chicks. Also, would it hurt to open the incubator for a second to slip a...

Hey guys :) This is the first year we've had bobwhite quail. We have ten Jumbo Wisconsins we hatched in spring. My question is this: what kinds of fruit can they eat, and what kinds can't they eat? There's rather low amounts of info on raising bobwhites on the internet so I've turned to BYC. I...

Hello everyone! I often stalk this site but finally signed up for an account. I just got my 20 acres in Central Oregon in Dec. 2016. In late Feb. 2017, I got my first batch of Chickens! I have since broadened to Geese, Ducks, and Quail. Now for a total of 35 birds with 10 chicken eggs under...

I have 12 Bob White Quail and they are just 11 weeks old. Yesterday I picked up 6 Coturnix hens that are already laying and tried to put them in with the young Bob Whites. Vicious fighting started in seconds with the Bob Whites attacking the older Coturnix. I have separated them now and placed...

Hi all! I'm on day 24 of incubation for my bobwhite quail. Temp is 99F, humidity is 70-75%. I put them in lockdown day 20. I have a still air LG. I had one pip about 15 hours ago but I don't think it broke the membrane. It was just a small break in the shell. It moved slightly a few hours ago...

We have 5 females and they were hatched at a Kindergarten down the street then released in the park next to our house. They live in a 4' by 8' A frame coop on the ground. Picture attached. About a week ago we noticed one female was hiding buried in the hay. A few days later we saw one other...

Hey guys! This is my first time hatching bobwhite quail and I have a quick question! I just candled them all as today is day 20 and there was movement/complete opaqueness in 28/33 eggs (yay!). However, I noticed that only about 10 out of the 28 were almost completely opaque and the others still...
