➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

@Kiki I saw your feed sheets. I feed my quail a Gamebird starter from MFA. It specifically says for turkeys, pheasants, quail and chukkers. It's 30% protein and it says to feed for 8 weeks. Did you want the tag info or were you just getting a general idea of some feed? I saw you had some lower protein options from MFA already.

Thanks!
I already have it on the game bird tab of the sheet.

Yep @Kiki I did it!

I set some freaking quail eggs!!!
Just 10 from my favorite 2 pens... they are leaving tomorrow so it's a sentimental hatch...

That's about it ...

Yep, that's 16~18 days... and 21 days... and 28 days.... View attachment 2020348

You are a nutter.

I took my turner out yesterday but what I forgot to do was adjust the temperature.
My turner adds one or two or three degrees to the incubator.

I still have not adjusted the temperature.
I do not think I'm going to either.
Doing an experiment I hope I am not ruining my pansy fee eggs.

I’m not hatching them yet as she’s not laying but when I’ve searched about hatching Bobwhites, the suggested temp and humidity varies from what people say and all the books I have on it are ancient and don’t really give any info on Bobwhites.

For hatching my Coturnix always had 37.5 degrees for the temp throughout with 45% humidity, then on day 15, humidity up to 65%.

That’s always worked perfectly for my Coturnix but people say Bobwhite are different!

What do you guys suggest for temperature and humidity for Bobwhites? (Turning the same amount of times also?)

Just wanting to make a note before the time comes

I incubate my Bob's at 100°F, 43% humidity, upping to 60 -65% 3 days pryor to hatch day. Actually I hatch all my birds at those parameters. Auto turner.

I candled my falb fee eggs. I'm down to 10 that I think might hatch. Zack is being awesome about it all and is going to send me more eggs.

Ok that's fine I just wanted to make sure. Mine is a MFA Gamebird Starter 30% and Lysine 1.75 so its different than that one so I was just making sure.

I'll take a picture of your tag so I can add it too.

I also always give it to my baby chicks, ducks, and geese...
