    Quail egg got tiny hole in it but no chirping sound.

    Hello, I'm pretty new to this place and eggs hatching all together. I have 2 quail eggs in the incubator right now. Today is the 16th day, I saw a tiny hole or a dent on one egg today, I can see the thin pale unpenetrated membrane too...I think but there's no chirping sound at all, no movement...

    Are my quail ready for the great outdoors?

    I have 25 3/4 week old quail. They are currently in my barn. I'd like to move their quail tractor onto grass next week. Should I put them on probiotic water this week?

    How long can eggs go without turning?

    I have two batches of hatching quail in two separate incubators. They are a day apart. I stopped turning the second batch a day early. I wasn’t thinking. Second batch is on day 18 with no hatches no cracks no movement. Are they all gone/dead? What do I do with the eggs? Did I mess up because...

    Sealing a Hutch

    I'm hatching some coturnix quail soon and I want to keep them in some premade rabbit hutches (Pawhut 54" 2-Story Large Rabbit Hutch). From the reviews, I'm not hopefully about the quality, so I am doing to reinforce them myself. One common complaint was that urine from the top hutch was dripping...

    COTURNIX QUAIL

    I purchased some Coturnix quail, 14 and I can’t tell how to gender them. They are 4-5 weeks old. I checked their vents and I didn’t see any boys. But going off of color and patterning there should one or two boys. When should I expect them to start laying? I’ve seen mixed information on that aswell.
