broody quail

I mostly need a place to share pictures of the sweet babies :lau Two days ago one of my Valley quail successfully hatched two chicks. She still has other eggs and is using the nest so more may be on the way, but for now it's just the two. This wasn't 100% planned (as in I don't know if the...

My buff (pastel/dilute, I was told) celadon (she has blue eggs) coturnix quail hen has gone broody, and I don't think it's genetics. Let me give my theory of how this happened: 1. There were only 3 quails in the hutch (1 male and 2 females), and I had two quails pair bond. How do I know they...

I was wondering since quail lost their broodiness, can I bring it back with selective breeding?

My quail Rosie is being super broody! It’s so cute! I don’t have any males so the eggs aren’t fertile but I think she’d be an excellent mum. Question, if I take her eggs will she stop being broody or is this something she will on and off again do? Are there like fake eggs I can give her to make...

One year ago... Today... Happy hatchday Bindi, Toge and Clover! The presents Bindi Toge Clover Proud Mama

My quail have been laying eggs for awhile now, I noticed one acting broody and sitting on her eggs so I decided to leave her some. There were two. They were there for a couple days, one morning I checked, they were still there then I checked a couple hours later and they were gone. Without a...

So I have a king quail hen who lives in a rabbit hutch with her two daughters she hatched and raised after her mate passed away. Yesterday I discovered her sitting on a bunch of eggs in there which are infertile since there are no males with them. I want to take this opportunity to give her...

Hi! So my quail got broody and started sitting on some eggs, but when I checked if the eggs were developing, I saw that none were. I couldn't find anyone who was selling fertile quail eggs, so she's just sitting on empty eggs. So do quails keep sitting on the eggs after 3 weeks? I don't want to...

This is going to sound strange but I'm guessing that most of you know how rare it is for a coturnix Quail to go broody Well my Quail did! And I was just wondering while making tea...what if you could finish incubating eggs in a teapot, I mean I ran and got my thermometer and the teapot that had...

So I put a rabbit hidey house in my Quail cage and within a month Or two my hen started nesting! Today I gave her some fertile eggs, let's see if she can hatch them shall we?

This quail has laid eggs before they hatched in the aviary and chicks were killed by other quails. I tried moving one of my other quails who laid eggs a couple weeks ago but she had a heart attack and died while being moved. How do I move a quail with her eggs into a separate cage safely?

hey there, one of my females has been very broody for a month and finally yesterday 3 chicks were hatched. I separated the mother and chicks from the other quails immediately but I just wanted opinions on whether leaving the chicks with the mother is a safe thing to do? She is constntly sitting...
