breeding

[duck mad 2012]

hi all,
What age can quails breed?? i have chinese quail male and female and they breed at only 13 weeks old but only had two eggs and nothing since but i put the eggs in my incubator and they where fertile but they never hatched

The first eggs often don't hatch. Give some thought to your birds' diet. They need half gamebird starter and half finch seed. Let them have some oyster shell for calcium. Also, greens. And hard boiled eggs.

Agree with peacerose and if you are going to incubate them store them in a cool place not the fridge for up to 7-8 days, turning several times a day, but after that they begin to die so no longer. If you do not want to hatch them collect the eggs and boil for 2-3 minutes and crush, shell and all and feed back to your birds.
