    Broody Coturnix hen

    Yeah, they do ... another 5 weeks, and they are adults 😭 Both moms still are tag-teaming, adoreable ! Mom is more the cautious and calling for hiding, when I open the hutch. Auntie is more bolt and is calling the littles outside for fresh food and water ... when my interpretations are...

    What colors will my quails be?

    Super cute 😍 I see some Tibetan/Rosetta (the dark ones) and some Silver/Blue (not 100% sure). Many of them pied/tuxed. The one in your hand will become a beautyful back-pied, adoreable ... possible Tibetan in the pie, but also not sure. Quite early to tell in many cases. Congratz 😃👍

    Hen went insane, incredibly violent to roo with no warning, ideas why?

    It happens quite often, this sudden turning. It can be to much heat, to much light, another bird died and the order is re-organizing. Also I just relized (first nature breed), that when a hen gets broody, she attacks the roo. I reconstructed some of my incidents and propably some of my...

    Broody Coturnix hen

    Both moms and both chicks are still doing great. It is difficult to catch them on camera "talking". My best take of a mom-chick chat is here ...

    Broody Coturnix hen

    I removed the eggs now and I was surprised, that only 3 hatched. I saw so many feet 🤔 A fourth one cracked the shell nearly open, but gave up then. With the one, which didn't survived the first night, that leaves 2 chicks. I candled the remaining eggs and 5 more were fertile and developed, but...

    Broody Coturnix hen

    Bad news, ... one of the little ones didn’t make it. Mom still tried to warm the dead body 😞 ... and mocked at me, while I was removing it, in the morning. Nature-Breed is survival of the fittest. I need to keep that in mind. My guess is about 4-5 chicks hatched, but impossible to tell how...

    Can quail use this waterer?

    They should be able to use it. I got similar waterers and they are working great.

    Broody Coturnix hen

    Just this morning ... and it seems, that she is taking good care. But it has to be constant. I need to watch it. Funny... the one, which was sitting with her for three days, is sitting again with her 🙈 I was about to take her away, but a friend of mine told me then, that she had tree broody...

    Broody Coturnix hen

    Next Update.... as curiostity is killing me, I took the chance just a few moments ago, when she was doing her daily roam, and just grabbed and candled one egg as a sample: it is fertilized and developed 😃 I would say just before hatch, from the point of developement, roughly 14th to 16th day...

    Broody Coturnix hen

    No ... still stting, with her daily walk around. I keep listening at the outside of corner of the hutch, where the nest is, but no sounds. But as I wrote, the exact point of starting is not exactly to define. Still fingers crossed :fl

    Button Quail Hen Color Morph ID Please!

    I can only aggree, a real beautyful bird. I got not experience with buttons, just Coturnix, but as my daughter wants so hard some buttons, I was just starting to take a look at the colors. According to the following color sheet, my best guess would be a Golden Pearl female. But I really don't...

    Broody Coturnix hen

    She is still a brave expecting mother 🥰 Meanwhile an other hen got broody and started sitting with her (including laying her own egg additional into the nest, which I removed). But she just kept up for about 3 days. ... ok, this as update. As far as my estimated guess is valid of her...

    Broody Coturnix hen

    I was able to get a better pic, while changing water and filling feed. Brave little one 😍 She is still doing fine 👍 I guess she's sitting about 10 days now, so 7 to 10 days to go ... maybe another 5 days tolerance for not knowing since when she is sitting constantly and also I read, that...

    Broody Coturnix hen

    Hi folks, ... long time no see. Got some bussy real life recently. But I have something, I need to share. Of course as the title suggests, I got a broody Coturnix quail 😍 ... First time in 3.5 years. :wee Here she sits, ... sorry for the pic quality, but I didn't wanna bother her with...

    Sexing Coturnix Quails

    Just because you haven't experienced different, does not mean, it doesn't exist otherwise ... . Italian males with no red mask are uncommon, but they are existing.

    Sexing Coturnix Quails

    The mask isn't a 100% sign of an Italian male. There are lines, where the roo also has a striped mask.
