1st Hatching Journey - Little Giant
This morning, I purchased a Little Giant incubator with a fan. This is what Zack from MyShire recommended to me when I asked him about it during his live stream last Sunday. I also bought the quail rails for it. However, I did not purchase the auto-turner. So how's that going to work, you ask... -

Natural Hatch—Butter Brickle Does it Again!
It's important to me that folks know Coturnix quail are actually quite given to brooding under the right conditions. I only have six quail in my little flock this year, being six hens all naturally hatched, all from eggs originating from different breeders. Butter Brickle went broody again in... -

1 out of 30 eggs hatched
Hi guys! This was my first try at starting my own covey of quail for eggs and meat. I got 30 eggs, 15 from a local farm and another 15 from a farm a bit further away. Didn’t mean to get two different batches but they’re about 2 days apart. Out of the first batch, only 1 hatched, on day 19. None... -

Quail laying egg covered egg
Hi all, I have a coturnix quail about 1 year old. She’s been seeming unhappy and staying by herself in a corner. Recently she’s started laying every other day (from the regularly daily egg) but it’s a fully shelled egg inside another shell with some egg white. Is this an indicator of some kind...- CoconutQuail

I thought it would be easier to do since I hunt deer and turkey, but there's something bothering me about raising them to butcher. I don't hold them, play with them, etc. to make...- RossAcres

Quail gender
I have a white 11 month old coturnix quail. I bought her when she was 6mo and she was sold as a female. However I’m not sure anymore if she’s a female. Her behaviour sometimes is similar to what my males was. He would run to sit on the egg after the female had laid it. My white female does the... -

Bird Flu in bobwhites?
I've got a covey of 16 bobwhites that were born April 2022. In the last few months, I've lost 3 or 4...when I haven't lost that in total for the last 2 years. I feel like that's pretty young for them to start dying off. I also have a batch of about 30 young ones that I've raised for butchering...- StoneyAcreFarm

Bought feed, pungent smell; safe to use?
I bought a bag of feed earlier this week at my local feed store. It was the last bag of high protein feed they had in stock. When I got home and opened it, the feed smelled a bit more pungent than usual. I was concerned it's rancid, but I poured it out and it was still dry. My only concern is...- HutchButch

What did my coturnix hen lay?
I went out to collect eggs this evening and found this! What is it? All my hens seem happy and healthy. Haven't been having any issues at all. Is this something to be concerned about?
