Hey y’all! We are hatching some coturnix quail. We had about 7 hatch last night, that was late day 17, and a few more have pipped and are starting to zip this morning, early day 18!

What do I feed newly hatched quail?

With my latest hatch: here's the details... Last chick to hatch was about 4 days behind the first, and needed help. I essentially did an egg cesarean.

Advice for pipping quail, day 22...
I have a clutch of 15 eggs, all viable as of day 14. It's now day 22 for my quail and yesterday we had 5 start pipping. The humidity has been between 50-70% since day 14 and heat at 99.5.

Jumbo Coturnix sexing
Hey guys! I just got some jumbo coturnix. The person who I bought them from said that jumbos cannot be sexed. They are white… so obviously these cannot be feather sexed. But can’t they be vent sexed? I have had only standard but would imagine it’s the same? -
