  1. 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

  2. Many thanks, been searching for "best quail for eggs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across – Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency – (do a search on google ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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!!

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
