➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[muddy75]

Muddy, what's the temperature in the shed?

it’s not heated but usually stay 5-10* warmer than outside temp. since lows not dipping much below 60, I have changed my brooder light out there to a 60W bulb and 2 week olds are doing fine same babies in the house. it took us so long to find the button when it got loose because those little guys are FAST and my shed reorganization project needs attention!! he had wiggled around all the shelves and moved to the garage side where we were able to net him. hubby had already closed off all the holes quail were able to get back through from the outside run.

I think I will have to try this... I have a bunch of used pots lying around.

I have some asshole male bobwhites, can I clip their wings so the can’t chase others quite as fast? I don’t plan on keeping those long term but I don’t want to butcher them right now either.

Try it.
I have no idea.

I put the coturnix quail in wire cages that are a couple weeks old. A little bit off the ground. And the bobwhite males stalk the cage waiting to get a chance to peck them too. I’ll have to raise the cage up I guess.

Clipping their wings will not make them run any slower.
