- we have wanted to give hatching quail eggs a try, I guess it was a minor success, out of 24 ,8 hatched,, plus another 2 died in the shell, I don't know why that was, we had some chicken eggs in there as well, only one is strong and should be ok, the other one, I don't have much hope for.

I always wanted to try to hatch some quail. They are very good eating, but now I am content with just throwing them (wild) some chicken feed during the winter. That is one fine looking incubator! Those chicks think you are their Mom now. Don't forget to change their diapers...ha ha.
Fun down on the farm. Gotta love the little ones.
they are cuties and a lot faster runners than chicks.
This was a real fun video to watch, like that little chickens, hope they all survive and thanks for sharing
they move so fast much faster than baby chickens, that are very cute.
Nice job hatching those quail. That will be interesting to see how they do when you move them outside.
yes, we have a large pen so they can fly and be feel more like their natural habitat.
Congrats Mom and Dad. Cute chicks
thanks,,you need a little chick to sit on your shoulder,, lol
Two quail is better than none! That was quite a fiasco with them fall through the sides! Quail are so little when they hatch. 😊
we ended up with 8 quail so I guess that's not a real bad hatch rate
Great job with the eggs and the new arrivals. It will be good to see how they get on
Congrats on the new hatchlings. I always thought about having a go at doing this myself the quail eggs are supposed to be one of the easiest I think you can just buy them straight from the supermarket I was told Nice to see it works all the best my friends have a good week.
I don't know if ones from the market would hatch or now,, I know with chickens, they don't have any rooster in with the hens for egg production.
@@MissouriOldTimer I just had a search on CZcams czcams.com/video/IZxI_i4iYHg/video.html look like a lot of people have done it might be worth a try 👍
@@JAYZWORKSHOP I sure didn't know that would work but I guess it does,,
That is too cool. They are so cute when they are little. Good job
thanks, yes they are so cute and very fast..
Have you never ate quail? They are some good eating. and I love Pickled quail eggs.
I only tried eating a quail onetime, but it was so little I was still hungry afterwards, lol
Congratulations on your new arrivals my good friend. Also so far I have lost eight pounds in wieght. Please both of you stay safe.
thank you, I need to try your method I could stand to get rid of about 50# lol I didn't write 50 pounds or you might have though I was giving away money,,lol
My wife is incubating some quail and chicken eggs . She started a batch a few days ago .
these did take at least 23 days to start but it still took a few more days till they were all through
I guess it's why they say don't count your chickens before they hatch
lol yes, that has good reason for that saying,, you never know,
We got so many Bob White Eggs I throw them in the yard and watch the ducks eat them. We have hatched over 200 the past couple months. Lots of fun.
I am hoping we get some eggs from these quail so we can try to hatch more, not to eat but just to watch , they are very entertaining.
@@MissouriOldTimer for sure. We got a hunting lease so we going to take a few down there. Hope to have quail kabob's. I will keep Bob White's long as I can. We love to hear them sing to us.
Must have been quite the Houdini to get under that grate.
they must be, one chick and 3 quail managed to do that.. lol
Looks like they need to fix some problems on their incubator. Good a hand full of quail hatched.
I see people using a flashlight on the egg in the dark to see if any veins are showing.
we don't plan on eating them, not more than a mouth full . lol this one has the lights but I can't tell much with the lights .
Looks like you are having a quail of a good time, ok my bad. Question what do you do with the quail will they stay in the chicen coop..i grew up in the city i really do not know.
we have one portion of a chicken pen that we plan on letting them be in after they get bigger,, some folks eat them, we just want them for entertainment.
Cool video Vernon,
What is the average success rate generally? Look forward to watching how they grow...
Take care.
Paul,,
I think someone said that if you get half the hatch it's pretty good, I'm not real sure about that.
What brand incubator was that?
here is the link,, it seems to be very good other than a lot of places where chicks can manage to get under the grid and get down in the water, other than that, we like it ,: www.ebay.com/itm/New-Digital-Egg-Incubator-Hatcher-Temperature-Control-Automatic-Turning-Chicken/133532374427
@@MissouriOldTimer ok thanks
I've never seen that brand of incubator, I'll have to check it out. Wow, those quail are so tiny! I figured out how to prevent splay leg...
Most incubators have a slick bottom in them. Easy to clean, but the chicks slip and end up with spraddled legs. I cut me some cabinet liner up and lay in the bottom before I put the eggs in lockdown to hatch. Hope that helps for next time. Can't wait to see them grow, hope they do well for you all!
@@BarbdWireNRoses1 thank you,, the main problem with this incubator is that they manage to get down under the grid thing and there's water down there, other than that it works pretty well. we will have to try putting something like you suggested next time,,
How many days
it takes 23 days for quail and 21 for chickens
Not much you can do for a chick with spraddle leg. I’ve tried a bunch of things and none of it worked. I love to hear bobwhite whistle myself.👍🏻
well that little chicken died over night , it had a bad start, it was having problems getting out of the shell, so it was kinda deformed .
