Incubating quail eggs

[FloorCandy]

Ok thank you because since I have 8 of them I was worried I needed to separate or cull them because there were no females but I still might have to separate them to be on the safe side if I were to put them in a rabbit hutch how many to a hutch

I have a male jail that I cycle males in and out of, or they spend some time in there until I have several to process at once. I try to keep it to 2 sq ft per bird, and they do pretty well. Every once in a while there’s a scuffle, but nothing too serious.

I think that’s plenty of room for 8 males.

4 weeks is kind of early to know for sure they are all males if going by color.I have had hatches that were all male or all female but its rare.You can keep them together for quite a while.I keep new hatchlings together till spring with no problems most times.Some will breed early but they don't seem to have aggression issues till they are about a year.

Sorry,If they are bobwhites.

The person I got the eggs off of didn’t know what breed they were I hope they are bob white but they are so small still and they all have feathers growing on their heads that stick straight up

They kind of look like coturnix.But it may be because im zooming in so far.Bobwhites all come from white eggs.
