We set 96 eggs (posted), 77 of which showed fertility, a couple were quitters by day 14 (brinsea incubator), had 60 chicks come out.

    Are quail profitable?

    I've been thinking about getting into quail and selling the fertile eggs and chicks for some extra money. Has anyone had success with selling? If so, where and what do you sell? I will only be doing local sales. Is it actually profitable?

    Wire floor or bedding?

    I'm thinking about getting into quail for selling eggs and chicks. I'm in the process of designing the cage setup, and I can't decide between wire or bedding. I live in Alaska, and I plan on keeping them in a stacked setup in an insulated shed. It can get as low as -36°F where I'm at. They...

    First hatch into the brooder. So happy!

    This is our first ever batch of quail, and I was steeling myself for disappointment given the unfamiliar skillset and vagaries of shipped eggs. But, come Day 17 I was surprised to find 7 fluffy little walnuts wobbling around their incubator. Pretty sure they hatched last night, and all were dry...

    Anyone make their own quail feed?

    Looking for tried and tested homemade feed recipes for quail. Considering getting quail...but if I do so I will mix my own feed, mainly as personal preference. I already do this for my ducks, and I really like knowing each ingredient that I put in and why. If you've got a recipe to share, do me...

    Can Quail Handle Whole Black oil Sunflower Seeds (BOSS)?

    I've been pondering this question for some time as I continue to research quail nutrition and diets. If/when I get into quail, I am making plans (and developing recipes) to mix my own feeds. First, I am doing my best to make sure that they will eat the things I intend to include in my mix...

    Help talk me into quail (for meat)

    I have chickens, a pair of ducks, a couple Jake turkeys so what's next? Quail (Coturnix) of course! These would be for meat and maybe if they are nice and easy to work with I can save a small breeding group for the future. I'd likely be ordering hatching eggs. Anyone have good results with...

    How old is old when it comes to quail?

    I am currently having my old quail evaluated at an animal hospital, and it has me wondering how old is old when it comes to the coturnix quail. I'm guessing this guy, Prince, is 3 years and 10 months old. I brought him in cuz he got fibers wrapped around a toe. Turns out, he's got some...

    Quail rooster incubating quail chicks.

    Is it normal for a quail rooster ( a tibetan named Juancho) to let a dozen chicks be underneath him. For one of my first quail roosters (a pharoh rooster named stripe) let the chicks underneath of him as well and my hens don't do a good job with incubating chicks. None of hens ever go broody. I...

    Please watch this video that I found on Youtube and let me know what you think about it. I enjoyed the first half but not so sure about the "army". ETA: to make the question clearer. Is it okay to hatch 100's of supermarket eggs for YouTube likes? I have no issue with trying to hatch...

    Sick Quail

    I just bought an entire quail set-up with 3 pens and ~40 birds. One has been acting sickly. It’s doing better now. I noticed it was lethargic last night. It’s a 4-week old coturnix quail. It was puffed up and was incredibly calm (didn’t try to escape me). I also noticed it was very skinny so...
