    Will this work?

    I’ve been wanting to hatch more chicks, but my bator is currently being used for quail. I have another incubator that was like $30 on Amazon, it’s still air and you need to mist it to add humidity. I’m wondering if when my quail go on lockdown I could place them in there while my chicken eggs...

    Quail egg questions..

    So I have 10 Coturnix quail eggs in the bator, today is day 4 and I’ve been running them at 99.5 with 51-56% humidity. I can’t get a straight answer because I’ve seen people say 45% and others say 60% during the first 14-15 days. Are there any people more experienced than me that can help? I’m...

    Quail egg candling not looking great.

    Hi everyone, I'm completely new to birds and have never incubated anything before. I recently got quail eggs locally and put them in the incubator on 8/31 about 1-4 days after they were laid and they're now going on day 9. I made a massive mess up in the beginning and the eggs had way too high...

    Science Spiel: Broody Quail Hens and Selecting for Motherhood

    I'm running a little "eggsperiment," letting eggs build up to see where the hens prefer to lay. Three other hens have gone broody in the meanwhile since my girl Janey started sitting, and I've had to break all 3 (not enough partitions for that many protective mamas). But I noticed that the hens...

    Broody Quail Hen Success!

    Got 14 celadon eggs under diligent broody mama Janey—now it's Day 17, and I can hear the shells being chipped open beneath her. She's been so good! Candled at Day 9, a few empties but didn't pull them out (learned hard way that taking eggs can break the broody even if the rest of the clutch is...

    Cure for curled feet, malformed feet and splay legs

    Splay legs, curly feet, malformed quail or chicken feet. This has been a game changer for me. Build an easy cardboard maize. Put newborn button quail or Coturnix or chickens with splay legs or curly feet into it. They heal in a day or two. I used to think these were genetic or dietary...

    Quail ear canal is impacted with dry wax

    One ear canal on my Coturnix hen is impacted with wax. Her eyes are watery and she nods off a lot, but otherwise will eat and drink. Is it safe to irrigate her ear canal? What's the best way to clean it?

    6 day old quail chick weak and not eating/drinking

    Hi bird experts! I hatched a mix of quails 6 days ago and most have done pretty well. One however isn't growing and is weak and wobbly and won't eat or drink. It seems like she's getting bullied by the others too. I set up the incubator as a little sick bay set at 95 degrees and have put her...

    Prolapsed vent

    Hello everyone, my quail had a prolapsed vent yesterday morning which I managed to push back gently as I’ve dealt with this problem several times with other birds. She laid an egg the evening before so I was sure she isn’t egg bound. Today, her vent prolapsed again and now I’m not sure if...
