Hi,
as this is my first time hatching I want to make sure I am not making mistakes.
I just finished transforming an Ikea box into a brooder and I would like to get some feedback and DIY tips.
This is the whole thing:
It will have a lamp with a heat bulb shining through the wire part.
There is...
i have my one and only chick, Franklin. We fixed his curled feet, but he still can’t walk. He may need longer on his right foot though. He seems to be trying to stand straight and walk backwards. Other than that, he’s eat and drinking fine. Is there anything I can do to help him?
my little chick, Franklin, is the only survivor of 3 that I hatched. He hatched a couple days ago and had deformed feet. I’m fixing them using the bandaid method. He’ll drink the water I give him, but he won’t eat the food I offer. I tried crushing it a little since the pieces were big.
It’s been about a day or two and since my chick hatched and I can’t stand up so I’m a little bit worried. I have a picture of his feet in that might be why
It’s day 18 for my eggs and I have heard no chirping or noise from them at all. My brother’s girlfriend claims she saw one move. I’m currently playing videos of quail chicks chirping.
Is there anything I can do or do I just have to wait it out?
Hi there,
Our first egg hatched in the incubator. The chick is laying on its side and breathing rapidly. He isn’t quite all the way dry from the yolk. We are very new to this and are nervous and do not know what to to. Please help!
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I'm a new-comer to the BYC forums but I've used it as a tool for extensive research and guidance for the last month and half. 2 weeks ago 7 of my coturnix quail eggs hatched and gave me 7 beautiful chicks, all of which I hope to tame and 3 of which I hope to keep as indoor pets...
I hatched a bunch of very healthy quail about 3 weeks ago, no problems with the ones that hatched, but a few duds in the 'bator...though very few
So fast forward about a week and a half, and I notice a stumble in one chick. It's very awake, it never stops, like literally it's always bumbling...
Hi guys!
Just hatched out my first batch of quail getting 9 out of 11 eggs. All hatched on the 19th day, 7 of the babies were born fine with no issues and are happy healthy chicks but one was born with splayed legs and another was born with a wonky hock.
They are currently just under two...
My button quail chick is three days old now, he can't walk he just lies there on the floor sometimes he'd kick his legs but he just won't walk. help!!!
Hello everyone! I often stalk this site but finally signed up for an account.

In late Feb. 2017, I got my first batch of Chickens! I have since broadened to Geese, Ducks, and Quail. Now for a total of 35 birds with 10 chicken eggs under...

These eggs are from indoors kept quails. I have not taken them outside. I constantly have sand baths filled, fresh water and feed daily, and fresh fodders grass daily. They are fed high protein Game bird feed. You...
The chick appears to have dislocated its right leg. Perhaps it started out as a splayed leg and something happened from there. I only took in the bird Wednesday from the owner (who bought the quail chick from my friend, the breeder) in order to prevent it from being euthanized. [see attached...
So its day 16 and there's no sign of my button quail chicks hatching, I was thinking about putting a chick noise on my iPad at full volume next to the incubator to try encourage them but my friend told me not to and I'm unsure what to do now.
Hello everyone!! I know its late in the year but i need your help finding a hatchery that sell Jumbo bobwhite and/or chuckar partridge chicks or hatching eggs. I tried contacting meadows/wadley quail farm and never got a response back. If any of you have or know anyone who does any information...
I have a button quail chick, hatched just about two days ago. He has been like this for the past ten hours maybe. He hasn't been eating or drinking at all, mostly sleeping although he will wake up every now and then to go run around with the other chicks. I am worried although I dont know if...
Hi all,
I've got a 6 day old coturnix chick with a hip/knee (?) that sticks up farther than it should on one side and makes him walk funny (see pictures below). He prefers to squat or run balanced on his hocks, but seems to be able to straighten the leg more when he wants to. He hatched from...
I just picked up 10 coturnix quail chicks yesterday, and this is my first experience with keeping them.
My sister picked one up today and was concerned about its beak being pliable, "rough" looking and of dark colouration . I am attaching a picture of the most affected bird, a few of the rest...
