Lalo at Farmer's says that quail chicks aren't very smart when it comes to keeping warm and he loses quite a few because they don't know they should get back under the lamp to stay warm. Still, I think it would be fun to try some experiments with a good broody.

Oh that is so very exciting!

I think quail are like turkey poults and peachicks, very susceptible to blackhead (histomoniaisis). When I let chickens raise poults and peas I treat them for blackhead before hatching.

That would be awesome!I don't have any Pita Pintas ready now. I am growing out for next year and planning to process some cockerels.
Next Spring I could meet you in Redding though.
Quote: The antibiotic I use to treat blackhead is metronidazole. Baytril I use for other things. When I treat for just blackhead I also treat for worms, so they get metronidazole at 50mg/kg for five days and Safeguard at 50mg/kg for five days.

I ended up selling mine from him so I didn't have to build another breeding pen this winter. I want BBS eventually but I only had the one blue cockerel (I was after the blacks for lavender improvement).
Anyway, the boy was huge at 5 months. Had a baby crow coming out of this monster-sized chicken. His mate was a lovely splash. Just lovely. You will have the prettiest chickens!
These photos were taken Monday and he sold in a couple hours.

I collected 6 eggs yesterday. I even scrambled two for breakfast.I'm jealous, only eggs I'm getting now are duck eggs.
