I'm gonna be swapping a few of the next gen with a bird guy I know, he has different mutations so I'll swap most of the babies maybe keeping one or two to carry on the line.

Oh great! Keep us posted! Quail babies are so lovely!
I gather you're using an inci this time, not relying on a hen to brood them?

Re: Quail Breeding
I was using an inc but only one was fertile and my first time incubating so it never hatched, my hen that hatched eggs last year is now sitting on at least 5 at the moment

Re: Quail Breeding
I wonder how high you had the humidity? Quail eggs are usually easy to hatch so long as you incubate dry, it with no water at all in the inci until 24 hours before hatching. Of course, they do need to be fertile!
Re: Quail Breeding
I increased the humidity 3 days before hatch date :/ There was very small amount of yoke left so maybe he drowned?? I was incubating dry

Re: Quail Breeding
Well, anyway, good luck with your hen, then! She sounds a little sweetie. Do let us know how she gets on.
