    That looks like Horikita Maki. I think it is her.

    Blind quail care

    I would. She will have to be a pet at this point and will need more care than the others.

    Low fertility, 1 chick hatch, now what?

    Possibly. She sounds like a good first choice. You still want to watch her, but it is so cute when you get a hen that will fluff out and spread her wings just a bit to welcome a chick to burrow under her.

    If my inky mischief monsters don't find them first.

    Help quails losing feathers

    It always blows me away when they start getting wing feathers on day 3.

    my thieving otter eggs are in the incubator- need photos of setups please

    I have to break up the oyster shell I use. I have a stainless steel mortar and pestle that does a pretty good job. You can just use a feeder to put the oyster shell in. I use small ceramic bowls intended for hamster/rat feed that seems to work, though.

    Controlling Sand Odor

    You might see if you can add some ventilation. It may help with the smell.

    Controlling Sand Odor

    How is your moisture control? Usually you get more smell when things are damp. The shavings may be staying dryer because there is more space for air to circulate in them.

    What made you happy today?

    The guest chickens have gone back home. Having more than triple my normal number of chickens sure made the coop dirty!

    Mugged

    This reminds me of a story I heard. I will forever refer to geese as "cobra chickens" due to this. A foreigner was visiting a farm and there was a goose near the gate that hissed at him and threatened him as he came near. He either didn't know or couldn't remember the word for a goose, so he...

    Button quail brooder heating using ceramic heat emitter and no visible light at night

    I happen to have a batch of chicks right now. I have two heat lamps going because it's only about 65 in my office. I'm using a leftover piece of pvc pipe to hold the lamp in place. There's a joint on it so it holds it fairly well.

    Extra calcium in winter?

    I don't bother with extra calcium when they're not laying.

    Button quail brooder heating using ceramic heat emitter and no visible light at night

    This is pretty much the same system I use, except I have to keep the lid on my brooder, because I do have cats.

    Things you wish you could say

    While I believe the owner when he said that the dog has never done this before, this is good advice. Good point. Amazon was pretty good about following up with me on the dog that came OVER a fence to attack me, and that one didn't succeed in biting me. I will follow up, though.

    Things you wish you could say

    I called amazon support, but didn't want to call animal control because I would hate for the dog to get put down for a minor bite. I believe amazon will be getting information from the customer about the status of the dog's vaccinations.
