I am going through this right now… did you ever introduce him back into the covey? If so, how did you do it? I have 8 hens and 2 roos and it seems like a bunch of them are after my poor guy :-(
Hi all! Just wanted to jump back in this thread to say I now know what was happening to my poor chicks. When I was incubating the eggs, my humidity was too high!!! I didn’t realize how many complications this could cause for the chicks; even after all the research I did prior to hatching eggs, I...
Feeding them starter game feed that I’ve ground up in the blender. The brooder is being kept in a small room & heated with a heat lamp, and yes it has a cool side. They seem to be using both sides fairly equally. The water is in bottles with small cup attachments that fill up and are cleaned...
Hi, My first covey of coturnix quail chicks hatched five days ago… they’ve seemed fine (except the maybe-albino one I’ve asked about in another thread, which actually is doing alright) until today but now they seem to be dying off one by one. Based on info I’ve read here I believe the first died...

That mug! How lucky that it's still in great condition. I found fragments of the exact same double-green-stripe mugs, saucers, and plates in a PA creek, I think they were from a nearby historic hotel... I wonder how common that pattern was -- and also how you found out when it was from. Thanks...
Hi, all!
I am going to be hatching coturnix quail for the first time this spring, and I'm trying my best to keep it all as-DIY-as-possible. As a newbie, it has been so helpful to read about others' first-hand experience here, and I'm glad to finally be a part of the community! I'll be raising...
