Assuming a person has all of the proper permits for their state, at what age can pheasants be released into the wild? I have read that Quail can be released after 5 to 8 weeks but I have never head of the proper age to release Ringnecks.
Thanks
This is my first attempt at selling hatching eggs. So far I have had excellent hatch rates on the test eggs I have given away. The 2 people who tested eggs for me got 11 out of 13 and 9 out of 14 to hatch. I have 3 pens with ratios of 1:4, 1:3 and 1:3.
I am getting 8-10 eggs per day...
I am looking for recommendations for flight pen size to house either 30 Coturnix or 30 Bobwhites. I would also like to hear what size flight pen would be needed for around 25 chukars?
thanks
I purchased a 15 pack of cardboard quail egg trays from GQFMG. I am disappointed that my Coturnix eggs are too large to fit in it. My quails are laying some jumbo eggs right now and I can't seem to find anything to keep them in. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make the eggs fit...
Since my quail are laying fairly good right now (no light or anything) I was going to start trying to sell some of the eggs for eating. I have a few local people that are begging me to sell them eggs I am not sure what to charge. My origional thought was 50 cents a dozen but an other friend...
My lady(s) have started laying. I am not sure which one is doing the laying but I have found an egg every day for the last 3 days. It is normal for her first 2 eggs to be huge and today's egg to be tiny.
Also I have 16 quail all in one large pen. Any tips on figuring out which one is...
So far my babies are doing great! They are eating, drinking, and pooping like crazy. I can't believe how big they have got, and that they are starting to feather out already. I guess I really don't have a point to this post, but wanted to share my excitement.
Hope they look as good...
I converted a rubbermade tube into a pen this morning. I used 1/4" mess wire for the flooring thinking that it would be easier on the chicks feet. Is 1/4" still big enough to let the dropping fall into the catch pan? I am using it for chicks until they are around 5 weeks old.
Also is 14"...
Woke up this morning and found that 16 of my eggs hatched over night. The chicks were up walking around and dry. I woke up the kids and we gently moved them to the temporary brooder (an aquarium) . Hope fully a few more will hatch while I am at work today.
The girls and I removed the auto egg turner this morning. While we were transferring eggs from the turner to the incubator floor we could feel movement in a few of the eggs!!! Hopefully we will have a hatch any day now!! Today is day 15! I also filled up the water trays. My little...
Tomorrow is day 15 for my quail eggs. What opinions are there on what to do with the egg turner? Should I just unplug it and leave the eggs in it, or should I remove the turner and place the eggs on the bottom of the bator?
Also I will take any advice for the hatching period. Thanks
Has any one used this pen from Tractor Supply? I made my first cage the other night but was not extremly thrilled with it. I am not very handy.
It looks like this cage would work great to house 4 quail. Would you recommend any modification to the cage to use it?
I came home today and was a little worried . My Hova-Bator has been keeping good temp and humidity and I am on day 10 of my quail hatch. The thing that has me worried is the smell. For some reason today their is a smell coming from the incubator. It is kind hard to describe the smell, it...
Today is day 8 for my 4 bob White Quail eggs. When I candled them 1 had noticible blood veins, 2 had a small black dot with a dark colored mass around it, and 1 had nothing. Does that mean that only 1 egg is working?
As my hatching date approaches I seem to have more and more questions. LOL
I was thinking about building a couple of pens (2X3) or (2X4) How many coturnix can I safely store in each? Would it be a problem if I have more than one male in a pen?
Also for next spring I am hoping to house my...
