Haha! We've had quite a few and I always find my way back to old school the large styrofoam little giant deluxe w/ turner. Has the best hatch rate for us.

I have some fermenting but didn't start it until yesterday when they got here. So that is exactly what I gave them this morning m, the unfermented mash. I like feeding fermented but don't like solely feeding it. I feel like it will lose its effectiveness if you did. But I will be sticking with...

I read your thread. This is exactly where I am at. We incubate most everything, but have a line up of chicken eggs we are incubating. But, after the last experience I won't be doing it again.

Episode reference by chance? Id love to watch it. He built an aviary, which is where I intially found him on there. I am building that same one here, with some more shrubs and things inside.

Yeah what I was thinking as well. I started watching the cortunix corner guy on YouTube. I was in bed last night when he first mentioned the grinding, and i almost got up and did it, but obviously didn't.

We lost two overnight. I can't keep track of behaviors at the moment because they look like ants all over, but we will just chalk it up to shipping shock. I wasn't grinding up their food either. Hoping this wasn't it, but I did grind their food today after changing this pads this morning. I...

Got it on the sugar water. Thank you. We have been feeding a whole grain/red pepper flake fermented mash to our chicken flock for years. Long enough to where I couldn't comparatively tell you if it has been beneficial because it's all I've known for some time. I know we haven't had any gut...

Ok I'll snag some pics and get the light off tomorrow. Don't want to disturb them. One quick question if you don't mind. I always add sugar to the water for my chicken chicks when they come in for the few days and feed fermented food (not free choice) every other day for their entire...

I can't imagine. So these were the "variety" Cortunix. I don't know the first thing about the varieties, but any chance anyone has any insight what some of these may be? I understand the red light makes it a bit more difficult. Not concerned about sexing, I know that isn't possible until hey...

Yep exactly. I'm sure that whatever happened to the first bunch happened quickly and suddenly. I know they ship by air, so leaving them on the tarmac in the middle of the night for 10 mins may do it. I will say, I certainly buy the hardiness statement. If nothing else, they are far more...

Well.... 32 live chicks and 2 dead this morning. Absolutley shocked. It took them a few minutes to get situated in the brooder then they were off to the races. They look super healthy. Side note, I am taken a back by how small they are! Crazy.

I was recently talking to some of you fine quail folks and we were discussing shipping quail chicks and I had said I had a shipment scheduled from Hoovers for 30 various cortunix, and I would update you all on that shipment. I then toted on USPS and how they have always done a great job with my...
