Also, do I have to turn the incubator on and wait a bit until putting the eggs in? If so, how long do I wait? TIA😅

Hello! We recently got a little giants circulated air incubator and have collected fertilized eggs from our chickens. I’m planning on putting them in the incubator tonight but I need some help and tips on where to start? Do I need to fill the bottom with water? Up to what point? What humidity...

Yeah I unfortunately found that out a little bit too late lol I just use the top area when introducing more quail so they don’t get too crazy flying everywhere

Hello! I just recently bought coturnix quail and they’re about a month old. I have 20 of them in this coop attached below. During the night they tend to huddle up in the corner underneath the branches that I have for them in there. They don’t use the upstairs area, they just stay downstairs...

I just got some quail and they’re on game bird feed. I believe it’s 30% protein. The lady I got them from raises them and told me how people say that the females and males should be eating different feed but that she sees that as unnecessary and a hassle to constantly be separating the males to...

What kind of antibiotic did you give them and how much did you mix it with what type of yogurt ?

Hello! We recently got 10 lavender Orpington chicks. They’re being kept in a large tub from TSC with their heat lamp, food, water, and pine shavings. I noticed two of the chicks picking on all the others, poking the others eyes and not letting go of them. I separated those two and the remaining...

So after they’re fully grown, it wouldn’t really matter if it’s game bird layer or the chicken crumble layer ?

Or how about chicken layer feed to give to mature quails? It has 16% protein and is cheaper than the game bird feed

Hello! So I’m a bit confused on what to feed quail. I’ve read to feed them game bird feed and then chicken feed and then I read that they need greens. There’s the game bird protein starter with 30% protein. Would this be suitable for young quail? Up to what age should they be eating this feed...

So the whites and browns are the same meat and egg production wise?

Hello! So I was having a bit of a discussion with my parents and they say that jumbo white coturnix are better for meat and eggs than jumbo brown coturnix. I told them that the jumbo white and jumbo brown give the same amount of eggs and meat, the only difference is the color. At least that’s...

Thanks for the info/advice! After doing a bit more research on the ducks and reading everyone’s feedback, I think I’ll leave the ducks for sometime in the future. I’m thinking of getting quail instead as I’ve been reading that they don’t really take up too much time and aren’t too costly...

Now that I think about it, I don’t really notice a demand for duck meat in my area. There’s a few small farms around my area that sell ducklings $10 each and goslings for $20 each and then a dozen of fertile duck eggs for $10. They always seem to be sold out too and I wanted to join in as well...

Hello! We recently moved to a ranch (well about like a year ago) and Ive been wanting to get more farm animals. I’m 17, still live with my parents. They have chickens, sheep, goats, dogs… I just have a few rabbits and a dog. I had wanted sheep for awhile and my dad said I could buy them (with my...

Yea me too I'm glad I did find this site! And I will. Thank you so much!

Yea but I don' think I will get chicks so so soon. Maybe wait a couple weeks and actually of course do lots more research on them. The feed store would just like throw them around and had many of them in one cage and they didn' really have much room to move around. But thanks for trying to...

Thank you. No yeah I also think the feed wasn't meant for chicks but than Yeah. But atleast my little chick doesnt have to suffer any longer. I also think that the feed wasn't meant for chicks. So yea now I know how to handle them which is good. Thanks again for all your support

Yup well that was basically me.But when I was little I would raise them just fine but I guess I just wasn't lucky. But thank you so much for your help!!

Thank you for your help! I appreciate it.... But sadly... My little/ my sisters little chick died while I was getting its food... But he was definitely a fighter and plus I didn' want him to suffer any longer. But if I do get a chick in the future I'll make sure to take better care of it now...
