My quails are now in lockdown. 60 eggs. I am hoping for a much better hatch rate this time as last time i only got 6 from 24. My layers are only young so I am hoping with time the fertility will increase. Maxi the aracuana rooster has been with his girls nearly 2 weeks now So i am hoping after this hatch to be able to start hatching chickens again

WOW 60 eggs will you sell some if you have a high hatch rate. I would love to see a baby quail.

hey i hatched 76 quails about 4 weeks ago, very easy to keep, im going into lockdown with another batch of about 50 eggs on saturday.

i cant keep up with demand for quails, i have someone picking up balance of 40 quail chicks tomorrow, im keeping 6 females from the last hatch, need to build up some breeding stock,

 

[sydney quailman]

Yes- it's big enough.
Have places where chooks can escape from others if necessary.
I put several perches up in the runs too- gives them quiet places to sit and get away from the crowd.

Boer goats are meat goats, but nobody I sell them to seems to buy them to eat,
just as pets.

Well i think you are a pretty smart novice

I used 5 average 13gm eggs for one chook egg. Worked a treat
Maybe you'll be able to give up houses and become a full time quail man lol. Not sure the commission would be as high lol
