RE: 300 characters about my quails
They did not die, I sold the youngest ones. I gave the males to some friends in the countryside. They cook and prepare the quails with rice and they love it.
I only kept two males for when I get the new females.
I don't know what happened but yesterday out of the 24 eggs in incubation, 3 quails hatched. The rest are still in the incubator. They have a chance to hatch until Saturday, otherwise they will be discarded as non-fertile eggs.
At least 3. Can you see if they are male or female already? Give it an extra day.
If I can see by the size they are, There are two small ones, these must be males, so I have one female left.
I have hopes that tomorrow Saturday some more will be born. As it has happened other times. I hope that females will be born.
Otherwise I will have to buy 7 females from the poultry trader. To put them to the two males I have left.
you can't check their arse like they do with chickens? It's not much out of 24 eggs. Why don't they sell fertilized eggs?
I bought 24 cuail eggs that were supposedly fertilized. I think I was scammed. I believe this because the eggs I have collected from my quail, when I had them in my cages, I knew they were fertile because they had their males with them. I had a lot of them hatching at one time.
Now I am giving these eggs time to hatch but I think I was scammed. I don't know anyone who sells eggs around here in my area.
Eggs in the butts of quail are easy to check. Their butts get really big when they already have an egg waiting to lay.
Each male needs 4 to 5 females to be happy, otherwise he will fight with the other male for his females.
I have nowhere to get fertile eggs from, I no longer have quail layers.
