    Just a tip... if you will put pea gravel in the the water tray. They will get plenty of water between the gravel rocks. No drowning or getting wet! God bless you all.

    Your my teacher. I recieved my eggs (18) from a local breeder. Put them in the incubator and on the 13th day they started pipping, so I stopped the turning and raised the humidity. 13 eggs hatched and only two chicks didn't survive. Pretty good numbers!
    You have been so informative and I owe you a debt of gratitude❤

    • @marielasessa2921
      @marielasessa2921 Před 2 lety +1

      How come? They started pipping before hatching?

    • @nathanielnachtigall7074
      @nathanielnachtigall7074 Před 8 měsíci

      Thet's pretty much the case while hatching poultry, they pipp before they'll crack the shell.

    • @ericay3225
      @ericay3225 Před 7 měsíci +1

      ​@@marielasessa2921That's how that works. They don't do it after they hatch.

I don't think I have what it takes to do it, so I appreciate you sparing me the failed effort. I will continue to enjoy watching others such as you who do this so well.

  • @tulipsmoran5197
    @tulipsmoran5197 Před 3 lety +8

    I built my quail condo 2ftx8ft stacked three layers. Each layer is divided into two 2ftx4ft pens. The top two pens are my breeder/layers and the bottom two layers - two pens each are growout pens. I produce mainly for meat. My set up is a little beefier because it's out in a covered run that is very secure but I do protect against snake and rats/mice. I fashioned a hinged lid over the protruding 5inch portion of the rollout egg trays for the top two breeder/layer pens that I can secure with a latch. Nothing can penetrate my quail condos. I cover the back with plywood like you do but also have temporary plywood covers I put on the sides when temps fall below freezing so that only the front of the cage is exposed. I also have built 1ftWx2ftD shelter in the breeder/layer pens running front to back with a plywood door on the front. The quail have a side arch door from the pen. The floor is solid plywood and in the winter I lay in pine flake bedding. In spring/summer/fall I place a sand bath container in there. The birds like the privacy - they even lay their eggs in the sand. This serves as an additional shelter for the quail to snuggle/warm from the winter temps. Similar to you I breed/raise Jumbo Pharaoh and Jumbo White Recessive quail.
