    Power outage on hatch day

    We got a letter today from our flat saying they will be turning off the power for 4 hrs for some work on day 17 of incubation for my coturnix quail eggs. My question is should I worry or will the eggs be ok? The incubator is insulated in Styrofoam but small and I wasn't sure if I should...

A few hours after it pipped, is started oozing this yellowish-green liquid. Upon looking closer, there is a quarter size puddle of it in the water tray under...

    Coturnix & Japanese quails!!! Are they the same?

    Are coturnix and Japanese quails the same? I currently have one male coturnix and need to get him a friend. Will he get along with a Japanese quail? Is it best to get a male or female? I read that male and male can get aggressive sometimes

    I am by no means new to chicken keeping and have been obsessed with birds and homesteading since I was a young child. I currently have 5 ayam cemani, 2 unknown bantams, and 2 broad breasted white turkeys. I used to have a much larger variety of poultry and breeds. I am freelance commission...

    Hi all, long post alert. A few questions about quail temperament and if I need to be more patient or if a specific quail is just not going to work out. Some background: I had a Celadon roo and Pharaoh hen by themselves for about 2 weeks, before the farm sent a Celadon hen (the roo was a...

    What Color Will They Be?

    I just set eggs and if they hatch what color will the chicks be? Here are the roos I call this color Scarlett, but is that right? His back got beat up when he was in my pheasant coop with other male quail. He's in with the hens now.

    Unsure if my coturnix quail will hatch

    18 days ago, I got my first coturnix quail eggs and put them in my cheap incubator. (I had them shipped from Ohio to Texas). I've been incubating them at 96.5 to 99 degrees Fahrenheit and I'm pretty sure they'll be hatching late. I know most of them have life and are big enough to darken most of...
