I'm getting eggs thanks to rbamterry. (YAY ME!!!)
Anyway, is the incubation of quail eggs the same as chicken? As in humidity, temp, rotations? I don't have the cups for the automatic turner so I'll be doing it by hand.
How long is Coturnix incubation? When should I do the "give up" trudge to the trashcan? I've been keeping the adults on pine shavings and they seemed to do alright until I moved them to a different pen. Can I put the quail chicks on the pine bedding?
The older quail did perfectly with the chicken chicks...so can I put the chicken chicks in with the quail chicks?
