If you saw it from my point. You Would be too. I once had a quail baby named Spee-Demon. We hatched her from the incubator and she was the only one who hatched. One time I was playing with her and I went to reach for something and she went under my leg and I accedently put my leg down on her and killed her. I cried for days she was only a month old. I felt so bad. That's why I want a baby so bad.
Agree 100%. I had 2 horrible hatches (with eggs from a source which will not be revealed), but had one fantastic hatch from JMF eggs. From the previous attempts, 2 hatched out of 15, and the second, 11 out of 18 hatched, but only 5 survived the initial 2 weeks, with several deformities that I had to cull. From JMF eggs, all the chicks that hatched survived, with no deformities. These were the Texas A&Ms from JMF, and I ended up with 22 hens and 8 roos. At 6 weeks, 50% of my quail were 14oz. At 10 weeks of age, I started getting 22 eggs a day. With the white quail, it was a little difficult to sex them, but the males crowed and made it easier for me to figure out which was which. My big girls are breeders and the rest I keep for eggs. From the breeders, I recently hatched out 24 chicks from 30 eggs, and no deformities.
