I have this sweet little late hatcher that hatched last of all 42 of my chicks. He took forever to hatch and when he finally did his toes were curled up bad. Two hours later the still hadn’t improved so I made him some little masking tape shoes and carefully arranged his toes and trimmed of the...

Hey all I just hatched 41 little coturnix quail from Meyer Hatchery’s “Rare Assorted Coturnix Quail” eggs and I got two chicks that are almost strawberry blonde color and I was curious if anyone else could tell me what these are likely to be? We got a ton of colors in our 41 hatchlings and an...

Hey all I have 12 of what I’m 99% sure are all pharaoh coturnix quail. They’re 3 weeks old and I’m struggling to feather sex them! Can anyone help me? I’m pretty confident about some of them but completely unsure on others. I’m pretty sure 1 is male, 2,8,9,10,11 I’m pretty sure are female. I’m...

Hey all I’m on day 19 of hatching my second batch of coturnix and I have one little guy that has almost fully hatched but has been sat like this for almost three hours. He’s trying to push out but just can’t seem to get that final push out done. Would you leave him be or help him get the shell...

Hey all I have a possibly dumb question. My three week old quail recently started piling on top of each other. I know that if they do it under the heat source they’re too cold, and if they do it far from the heat source they’re too hot. The brooder temperature is at 82 degrees and the quail are...

Hey all! I’m new to raising quail and I’ve read that male to female ratio is very important for the quails health and safety. The coop plans we built house 8 quail each. And two coops stack so we can house a total of 16 but two different coveys. Would 7 females to 1 male be an appropriate or...

I hatched these babies 6 days ago and since they hatched one of the chicks has been randomly making this weird motion. It stands there and closes its eyes and throws its head back. It opens its mouth like it’s chirping but no sounds come out. It does that for a while and then stops shakes and...

Hi! I recently started hatching my first group of 72 eggs. Out of 72 on day 14 I candled and 51 were fertile and growing well. I locked down the incubator at 99.5 F and 65-70% humidity. At 6 pm last night we had four pips on day 18. Since then we have had 6 successfully hatch and have 11 more...

Hey y’all I’m new to hatching eggs and I’m having an issue getting my brooder up to temp. I’m on day 15 of hatching coturnix quail so I’m anxious about not getting the temperature high enough before they start hatching. I have an inkbird temperature probe set up touching the bedding directly...

Hello all! Thanks for including me in this amazing community! I moved to IN in 2020 from Idaho and since the move I have been searching for ways to legalize backyard poultry in my city, Marion IN. I have found a small group of folks also interested in changing the law and some recommended this...
