➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[PoultryCQ]

@Nabiki has a video of one I think. I’ve had a couple. Mine were from Myshire birds and their descendants, and ended up being more towards jumbo sized.

Did they turn out to be males?

Yes

Yes

Thanks! Hopefully a keeper as long as its large enough.

How very handy of it to let you know so early on!

Not sure if any of you have experienced this before, its definitely a first for me. One of the quail chicks that hatched attempted a crow today. It did the "head shake" and the crowing sound. Sadly, right when I pulled out the camera it stopped, anyone experience this as well?

Yep. Young male announcing himself to the world. Not even out of the incubator yet.

Yep! it was just like that! Guess I have a male on my hands...

Took a little quail about 21 hours to hatch. I did give it a coating of coconut oil on the membrane. When it hatched out on its own, it had a red sack attached to it. Not too sure what to do...anyone here know what this is?

That's unabsorbed yolk. It also has seriously curled toes. See how it looks in 24 hours. It might not survive.


I feel like I've been saying that an awful lot lately. :-(

Thanks. It did take a long time to hatch. We'll see!

Is there a factor that causes unasorbed yolks? Like temperature or humidity issues?
