Hi everyone!! Just wanted to share a few pics of my newborn coturnix quail :) Just hatched this morning!! Such an exciting day!! Hatch rate was horrible 2/10 as of right now, one is down in the incubator tapping away. Doesn’t matter to me, though, I love the little guys so much!! Hope everyone...

on the 11th I hatched five coturnix quail chicks, all was well and good until I noticed one chick walking like he had splay leg. so I got him eating vitamin enriched feed and supported him so he stood upright, and he was looking really good, but the more upright he has gotten the more I notice...

Hi everyone! After some months, finally the quails in my zone are starting to lay eggs again, which means it is finally time for me to give it another go at incubating some! I have also upgraded my equipment quite a lot, I now have a better incubator (Borotto Lumia 8, one of the best bators you...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering, could Coturnix Quail be kept outdoors (in Illinois) during winter? They would obviously need some sort of shield to block from wind, snow, etc., but would they need a heat lamp? Any special extra-protein diet? I probably won't be getting any Coturnix for a...

Hello all! I just wanted to post about my hatch from yesterday. These were shipped eggs from "blue" coturnix and it looks like I got 1 blue and white, 1 Tibetan, and an albino. Are Albino coturnix really as rare as I'm researching? Thanks for the input!

Hi y’all, I’m new to ‘Backyard-Chickens’. My question is: What is the best feed for me to give to my week old Japanese-Coturnix Quails? I have them on a 19% Protein Chick Starter recommended to me by my local feed store. I have however been reading that Quail need about 25-28% protein? On...

hey friends, it’s my first hatch and one of the chicks has both feet curled. It’s been in the brooder about 24h now, seems to be getting along ok, just won’t straiten his feet out. He didn’t look very lively the first day so I left him be, but he survived the night ok and is eating and drinking...

I hatched a bunch of very healthy quail about 3 weeks ago, no problems with the ones that hatched, but a few duds in the 'bator...though very few So fast forward about a week and a half, and I notice a stumble in one chick. It's very awake, it never stops, like literally it's always bumbling...

I just hatched a batch of coturnix quail chicks and at least one of them got stuck in the egg. Two were fine once I helped get the shell off, but the third must have been like that for a while because it's neck is still twisted to the side like it's still in the egg. All chicks are now in the...

Hey guys so it looks like out of the ten marked eggs I put under her (she was initially sitting on infertile ones), 5 hatched and 4 were see through when I candled them. 1 looked like it could be developed so I plopped it in my incubator just in case because she gave up sitting on them and...
