➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[muddy75]

My Bobs hatch from 1st to last was 3 days though, talk about frustrating and little sleep....

that could’ve be due to the “cold spots” that i was referring to with the j12......are the ones hatching now and pipped all in same area or spread out??

You guys think its ok to feed adult and baby quail medicated turkey/pheasant feed. I did not know it was medicated when i bought it. And wanted a higher protein content to feed my quailings.

Do u have a dip net? I keep mine handy at all times. Even tote it to swaps

Yep. The long handle crab net works great. They popped through the holes on the big fish net. I just tore my crab net on the fence. So time for another. Where did the little dip net go? Hmmm.

This is what i want vs the cups. I have 4 of them on a 5 gal bucket in one chicken pen and it is great. I think theyre not considering it because they drip but if you had a wire section just under the waterers that could be pretty great. Itll happen here one day.



I still change all the water once a day. Even in the bucket where it stays clean and would last for days. Then at least they have water even if its dirty in case i get held up.

The chickens didn't care for the bottom of the bucket nipples. Rather dip their beaks in a puddle. They'd use it, but last choice from what I've seen. Drippy, yes. Thought the nipples would wear in and stop. Not yet. Makes a mud puddle.

I'll post the pictures later. Today was busy.

Yes, it's perfect.

i don’t see it being a problem.....though i would not feed it all the time.....better opinions would be @Texas Kiki @R2elk
@007Sean as i’m lucky to find turkey/pheasant feed at all much less medicated.....

This one is getting some really dark feathers underneath.
I'm calling it a red ranger.
