Your quail videos were my motivation to start raising quail in Virginia, USA. I have 20 three plus week old quail and they are doing great. Have 30 eggs arriving tomorrow and can't wait to see them hatch.

I use homemade Incubator n Incubated 5 quail egg,it was unexpected two of them hatched today early morning as I wake up to see.It was day 16 ,I think I got them early and I was hoping the rest three of them make it .Tat would be magical ,it was my first time n the Incubator was made by me for the first time. I'm hoping tat I take care of them well.They r so tiny n lovable😍❤️. Wish me luck guys❤️

Hey mate, I raise quail and chickens and I noticed your cardboard. As a rule you never put chicks, quail or chickens on slick surfaces. This can cause sprawled leg in your chicks. When their legs sprawled you usually have to cull them. I use a rough shelf liner that helps them to grip the surface when they move about. Learned that the hard way myself. You should never put new born chicks on a slick surface. Just food for thought. My wife loves your channel as I. Have a good day mate!

This is chock full of tips I haven't seen. Dimmer switch, ceramic heat lamp...You are good.

Thanks for this video Mark. I've done 2 rounds of hatching quail, with a bit of success, but didn't know if what I was doing was correct. Seeing what you do has really helped. Only a recent subscriber in the UK, but I'm glued to your channel.

Thanks for the look Mark. Cheers.

I bought some eggs but only one quail hatched. We felt bad for it so we bought it a mansion. Not too long after we bought some more eggs so it could get a friend. They are currently incubating. Hope they hatch!!

This is my first time hatching qauil, and my husband and I watch your videos, we love you, didn't know your up to qauly things XXX lol

First rate video. I questioned the cardboard walls at first, but it seems to work and if you trash it between batches you can guarantee you're not carrying over parasites or germs from batch to batch. Keep sharing.

I love to see you put them on wire so soon! I've had several hatches and can't stand the stink in my set up. I'm going to try something similar to what you do next time. Thank you. I really learn so much from watching your channel (all the way from South Texas USA)

I have watched a lot of your videos and I you seem like the loveliest person. Cheers from the US and keep up the wonderful content!

You're my favorite channel - Thank you for all the knowledge!!!!!!!

I have 2 questions: 1) How long will they stay in the brooder? When and where do they go next? and 2) What would you do if you found a baby chick with a deformity or one that is not doing well? Incidentally, I really enjoyed watching this video; it's an eye-opener, so interesting. Thank you.

Love your videos.. thank you! Just started and hatched my first batch.. Your videos are very helpful.. thank your for sharing.

I'm excited my mom said I could get some after I do chores for a long while and then I get to hatch my own little fluffy bebeies

I have a similar ceramic heat lamp. Set up with a temperature controller which turns it on & off within a high/low range. Nice setup with the mesh to allow manure to drop through floor and the cardboard sections for them to walk on. I’ve found my chicken chicks will walk on anything not hanging above floor level, and scatter feed out of containers if they have a chance.

NEW SUBSCRIBER! (Notidications on 🙂)I love this video. Thanks so much for this. I have four Bobwhite Quail eggs and right now is day 7 of the incubation. I've never done quail before so I'm excited and nervous

Bantam chickens could do the incubation, works very well too! Nice video, congrats.

Thank you for the video! I am expecting my first hatch of quail babies 💕🐣

Thanks Mark, been following your channel for a long time and we are now going to give it a go at quails lol

Shalom! They are sooo cute! Congratulations and thank you so much for teachings us all so many things. Blessings to you and yours!

You are great sir! Thanks for the info. I got my first hatch today

Great video, just about to start my Quail keeping

OMG there so adorable, I have held one before and they are fluffy!

Great video m8! Very informative for a new quail mother!

Very informative and helpful. Thank you so much.

l really like your brooder, l would to copy your stile of brooder. I plan on growing my own quail. I have two male button quail and really enjoy them as I call it quail TV. I enjoyed this very informative video thank you very much Robin

Well done Mark !!! their looking very active, hopefully the rest hatch out !! Seeya Rob

great video :) I also save the feed at the bottom of bags for chicks. Its almost all powder and small bits down there anyways and my big birds dont really prefer the powder at all so waste not want not

I’m sure it’s a lot easier in Australia what temp and humidity do you recommend for Colorado

I like the. Cardboard pieces for the biddies to go to keep off any breeze.. i have used cloth, paper ttowels and large shavings myself to do the same... do you find the biddies have problems walking on the slick surface ? Have used a cardboard box for the first week or 2 with paler towel and shavings, then just compost the box and move the biddies into a bigger clean area with hardware cloth like urs. Tried .25 inch but found thr droppings would clog the mesh. Have you considered using 2 temp controllers to add more precision to the heating element. Let each control one side of the element to make the full power a narrower window. Make half power just before the desired temp and full power under the temp..... or use the 2nd controller to bring in outside air once it crosses a bit over the temp setting. I have found they hatch faster if its on the high side of the temp window

THEY'RE SO ADORABLE 🤯

Thanks ,good information. Not a time waster

Thanks for the info.

Very nice, thank you for sharing! did you move your eggs during hatching? Can one get away without a egg turner?

I'm gonna have to grind some of my feed up!! I'd been thinking the starter granules might be to big!

So cute!

They are so small.

Hi. Great video. I’m trying my first hatch but I’m having terrible trouble keeping humidity at 55% . It is swinging from 40% to 70%. I’m on the Fraser Coast. Any ideas on how to reduce humidity?

Useful information for the beginners.big 💕 👍👍👍💐💐💐💐

In Thailand we have problems with high temperature and high humidity On my next incubating I will try silica gel bags I bought cheap on line to control the humidity And they can be dried and re used Hoping this will improve the hatch rate

If you have your incubator in the bathroom, just turn on hot shower and get it steamy and then you can open the incubator early!

I love love love your veranda. That's where I'd live except to sleep.

Great video very informative to

what kind of incubator is that? looks like abread machine! lol, but small, like i want.

Thanks for the video sir. Very informative and I also really enjoyed seeing the tiny baby chicks! Just had one question. Is the wire for their flooring not a possible risk for hurting their feet?

Lol. Mine had no problems learning how to scratch for food. My brooder is covered in food. Lol. As i put them into my brooder i dipped their heads in the water and let them figure out the food. They had absolutely no problems figuring it out. Cute little biddies.

Cute, you're amazing man!

Thanks for showing such cute chicks!

Just a quick question... I have never seen that type of incubator before. How many layers of eggs are in there? They look pretty well piled up. How do the eggs on the bottom hatch? I would think the ones on the bottom would have trouble fighting their way to the top of the pile after hatching. Love all your vids, learning alot. I had some quail last summer, and was hatching some out. Unfortunately I lost my last female to a snake. I am just now looking into ordering some eggs from Amazon. It's winter here, and I know the eggs will get a chill during shipping, but I have had success incubating refrigerated chicken eggs in the past. I hope it works out well with the quail. Wish me luck with the hatch rate.

Have 24 in incubator, how do you bring up humidity if a soaked sponge doesn't? Thanks. Love your videos'.

Ceramic is so good!! I use Ceramic for my snakes 🤗

Lovely little bumble bees. PS we are keeping Eddie Jones!

Thanks good video.

They are so cute I have them and they are now all grown up

Hi Mark, do you set the brooder at 37.5 C as well?

Hi what exactly is the whole sizes in the net you have used for the base of brooders ?

If you have the time do you think you could make a quail update.

Just wanna recommend watermelon for your chicks and hatchlings. They peck at it, can't drown in it, can't crap in it, won't spill it and it's refreshing and healthy.

Good vid. Thanks

Ok, I know you made this 7 years ago but you mentioned you have a dimmer switch and I neeeeeeeed to know where you got this from!!! Please let me know 😍 Fellow Brisbanite here

Hi....... Mark, thank you for sharing your video 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

Hi , great videos earned my subscription Please help could you do a video on what you would do if your coturnix quail chicks are week not standing up And not running about the brooder like the other chicks . Please be the first to help on this subject kindest Regards Nick from England uk

what is the best temperature and humidity that I should keep for quail I had a good hutch first time round but the next batch only 4 of 10 hutched and they all were deformed and died two days later the rest of the eggs were fertile and had chicks but never came out can you give me some advice

Great videos

Soo cute, mum and would love to have chickens and or quails but we have cats and there’s a lot wondering cats in the suburban area we live in (and well we don’t have a place for them to live safely atm) but we do like them

very nice

Sir, in my country the 1st thing to do after you move the chicks out of the incubator is to feed them with brown sugar water. Only the next day you can feed them starter food.

Good healthy looking birds. Does that incubator turn the eggs for you?

when do you move the chicks out of the incubator to the brooder?

I like it

did you use 1/2" wire or 1/4" wire for the brooder... thanks

Dear little things they are beautiful

I didn't know I needed to teach them to to drink but I did and I was able to save a couple of but I lost most of them the only way I have any is I decided to baby them and feed them water like little droplets on my finger put in their beaks up to it and after a while the four that I've left figured it out PS most didn't hatch due to improper shipping

Cutest Bird 😍😍😍

super hand,thanks dude

Отлично!! Привет из России! :)) есть замечание: Гофрокартон - скользкий, папки у молодых птенцов разъезжаются, возможны травмы. Сетка 10мм х 10мм - крупная для однодневных птенцов. Советую применить пеленки для новорожденных 60см х 60см в течении первой недели. ... It's cool!! Hi from Russia! :)) there is a remark: Corrugated cardboard - slippery, folders at young baby birds part, injuries are possible. Grid of 10 mm x 10 mm - large for one-day baby birds. I advise to apply diapers to newborn 60 cm x 60 cm within the first week.

Thanks for your informative video Mark. I hatched some quail under a broody hen last year. I don't recommend it as she stood on most of the babies and killed them. I put remaining eggs into a incubater . Three hens survived. I can buy fertilised eggs locally . What time of the year is best to incubate some eggs? I am thinking early Spring, what do you recon? Can I introduce the babies from the brooding box into the large cage with the adults? Sorry if you have a video that answers my questions. I have only just found you. I am keen to buy that food you use and will look for it. I have been using turkey raising blend. About 32% protein, I think. I transferred it to a drum and haven't got the label any more. Thanks for you help.

What is the cheapest incubator out there for quails? Im on a budget

What is the size of the wire mesh? 1/2" ot 1/4"?

If Quel is unable to walk or stand as if paralysis dies, then which medicine should be given, pls tell?

Hey when will I know when my male quail is ready to breed the hens

My quils are in the aviary with my budgies. They have had chick's about 2 months ago 1 silver 4 brown they are still with mum and dad is that OK?

How many days do u leave them in the brooder after they hatch

Hi Mark, I am learning so much from all you videos. Thankyou. I recently bought 12 quail, approx 7_9 female and 3 male. All are happy and have witnessed breeding. They have been laying now for about a week. Will these eggs be fertile? I have cracked a few looking for the bullseye but I don't see anything. Is there a time period to wait before eggs are fertile? TIA

Hi Mark. Could you please tell me where I can buy the game bird feed you showed in this video. I've asked a few pet stores but no one seems to know.

For how long do you keep them n the brooder?

hello sr what is the size of the net on the flow? for the Quail?

Nice sooo cute Qyilt

YOu can raise them from egg and they can make one of the best bird pets right?

Are the yellow coloured chicks different from brown ones when the grow up?

I have hatched at least 30 chicks but there very hard to keep alive are quails any easier???

Good

is there a website where you got it?

What do you do with the baby quails that have splite legs ?

They will get splay leg on a slippery surface.... maybe put a tea towel down to keep them from slipping.. and isn't that wire kinda rough on new born babies....? We use jar lids for the first several days to drink water... very cute quail....

I subscribed

We just ordered 30 coturnux quials from Iowa to Pennsylvania, 7 were dead when we first got them, and by the next day 20 more died and only 3 surivived. Their in my garage and they were imediately put under a heat lamp, eating and drinking: I just dont understand. is it normal for them to die like that?

Good video! But don't you think you should take the already hatched eggshells out so there's more room for the ones that haven't hatched yet or no?

hay mark, any chance of an update in one of your next videos cheers
