Hi all, having been inspired by the wonderful posters here at BYC, I recently started rearing coturnix quails. I know this is going to sound silly but I have been rearing my 7 bobwhite chicks alongside a coturnix quail chick in the same brooder box.
That coturnix chick came from the only viable...
We have hatched quail chicks and a few I want to mark to make sure I can tell them apart from the rest. Would loosely tying yarn around their feet be a good idea? Thx,
I feel a little lost, all the research I did before hatching my quail hasn't seemed to prepare me or maybe I'm just overly paranoid.
I just moved my quail to a larger brooder. I have a thermometer to gauge the temperature, they have fresh water and I'm feeding them 26% protein starter feed...
So our second round of quail chicks has largely hatched, and we seem to have found the same problem this time as last. Our incubator runs at 100.5 degrees and for hatching we get humidity up to around 78% and it drops to around 69 by the time they're done. We dry incubated both times until...
I’m just curious what folks would call this baby? The feather pattern looks like a Rosetta that’s been diluted? Would the silver gene do this or is this the result of a different combo? It’s a beautiful light brown color! 😍
Edited to add one other baby! Is this what Pansy looks like or is she a...
Hi, i had been wondering about the colors of two of my month old quail, who are both a gray color that i hadn’t seen anywhere in coturnix quail up until I found out about silver and blue quail. I think i found the the answer to my question but i’m wondering about whether i’ve made a mistake.
On...
Hi all, I feel like I've been asking a lot of questions but every time I think I'm set more thoughts arise, so sorry for the spam.
My new baby Coturnix quail (first time quail owner) are now 5 days old. They came out of their incubator super fast and rearing to go this morning, it was beloved...
Hi there, I just got done with my first quail incubation. We had a guy hatch late, last night. All eight others were born with normal feet. This last guy though, not so much. I was hoping by morning they would have spread out like the others did, but no cigar. I'm reading and seeing a to of...
Hello all,
My name is Raquel and I’ve been lurking on here for a couple months now as I prepared to keep quail.
I hatched out 34 healthy quail, Pharaoh Coturnix and Celadon Coturnix. They are a week old and I’m in love!!
I figured it was high time I made it official and create an account...
Hello BYC fam,:frow
So I finally decided to take the leap and hatch me some coturnix babies! What a fun time.
On to the point of this post. Idk if everyone else has had this experience, but I just want to document my findings on here for the world and other novice quail people to see. My quail...
