    Need advice on hatching quail eggs

    Hey everyone! I created my Backyard Chickens account around two months ago, but I am new here. I am currently incubating a batch of quail eggs (42 to be exact) that are 16 days along. My grandmother was visiting for the past couple of weeks and she told me that you should not open the incubator...

    Translucent egg white in quail?

    Hi everyone! I'm new to raising quail and have a flock of 1 rooster and 3 hens. One of the hens has been laying eggs with translucent whites when boiled. Any idea what this is? Is it something I can fix? Are such eggs fit for consumption? Is it normal? Pictures: cooked egg in question...

    Double Yolk Quail eggs

    Just showing out the quail eggs putting out! Most around 14.5g but recently one has been putting out a daily dose of double Yolkers. I’ve put a few in the incubator considering that one seemingly had two yolks but was a 23.1g single yolk egg. I’m hoping more will be the same. Has anyone hatched...

    Are These Quail Eggs Viable?

    This is my very first time hatching Cotournix Quail and Im worried these may have stopped developing. It's day 15 (lockdown day). I ended up with 4 that developed to this, the air cells seem worryingly large. And one egg that's too dark to see through. Will these likely not hatch? I have a gut...

    Unusual egg found--cause for concern?

    I have 8 week old Jumbo Coturnix hens laying for about a week or so now. Today I found this weird little nugget alongside a normal egg. I don't know who is laying as I think only 3 of my 9 are and I have t yet caught them in the act. Should I be concerned? I don't think that this is a lash egg...

    Quail Eggs incubated for 18 days, Still no pipping.

    Hi! I'm new to Quail and have been trying to hatch them for months. Finally, I had 7 fertile Japanese Jumbo Quail eggs. I candled them on day 6 and saw that they were alive, and got super excited so I candled them on day 10 too. 5 Were alive now, the other two had sadly died. When I candled them...

    First official pip! Here we go! 😍

    I’ve actually counted 11 (of 26! 84% of the eggs incubated were still ticking along at the start of lockdown! 🙌🏻) hairline cracks… of COURSE the first obvious pip is at the wrong end though 🙄 Quail chicks: always working hard to die under even the most ideal circumstances! 😅 I’ll keep y’all...

    Are some of these eggs Celadon?

    Aka: how blue does a blue egg need to be before its Celadon?! 😅 I bought these off EBay, from a woman who keeps I believe it was around 100 birds, mostly Pearls (though it says she has some pharaoh, Italian, and pansy fee)… I didn’t pay Celadon prices, nor were blue eggs mentioned anywhere but...

    Are non-pasteurized quail eggs safe to eat after power outage?

    I was storing my quail eggs in the fridge to keep them from getting broken and a few days ago there was a power outage after a serious storm. The power came back yesterday and I was wondering are they safe to eat or should I toss them? Thx,

I usually collect my eggs (non fertile—no males in coop) every late afternoon. However some days I can’t get them for at max two days because of bad storms. Is there like a...

    Couple Qs about new flock

    I'm building a large aviary for my new flock of coturnix quail. I'm doing a brooding experiment, having my quail hatched by another farmer, and taking them "under my wing". When should I have the newbies move into the aviary? I'm doing a survival of the fittest type beginning, with a hands off...
