			<dc:creator>little jim</dc:creator>
			<description>I have 40 or so chicks at 4 weeks old all fine and healthy however one is half the size, maybe even smaller.  It seems to have stopped growing but seems happy enough and sticks up for itself too.  I have a couple of theories but don't want to suggest anything yet as I'd like people to consider this with an open mind.  Thanks in advance people!</description>

<br />
How many eggs do they normally lay before going to sit? I don't want to take them out if she's likely to decide that tomorrow is the day to start trying to hatch them (i'd feel mean, she's made them such a nice nest), but likewise I don't want to leave them if its unlikely she will go broody!]]></description>

<br />
I just joined this group today so I'm sorry if this question has been asked a million times but I was wondering if anyone has breed two different types of quails to create a hybrid. For example a mexican speckle to a Japanese tuxedo.

Any info on hybrids would be interesting to hear.

Thanks!

			<dc:creator>andoy</dc:creator>
			<description>I stumbled upon this by chance and thought I would share it. It's a paper from Japan written in English (thankfully). It describes some strains of quails. Most are obviously for research of genetic conditions, but some of the traits are related to colours. Interestingly several sex-linked/auto-sexing traits are listed (in page 12); brown/cinnamon (not sure if they are separate or same trait) and a form of albinism.



It also describes a strain S (silver) as incompletely dominant (page 4). It  ...</description>

			<description>There was an article in the reference section about breeding and genetics and it mentioned something about different types of feather defects.  You can find it here

http://coturnixcorneruk.forumotion.com/reference-section-f35/genetics-of-colour-mutation-in-coturnix-quail-t587.htm

I was wondering why my quails didn't look as &quot;put together&quot; as pictures of your quails.  Emma mentioned in the chat last night that I should put some pictures so here they are.

			<description>I was just wondering if someone could tell me if it would be possible to somehow get a bird with some grey/silver in it from these colors....cross mating or something.

 

Wild/brown

Golden

Golden x Ginger

Ginger

British Range/BLACK

British Rang/Brown

 

I would really appreciated any insight into the Smokey/Grey birds.

Thanks!

			<description>Well I have finally made my descion as to what I'm going to do as far as the quail. I have been thinking of all my options and everything and decided that it would be WAY to much for me to take care of to have the multiple pens of different colored Jumbo birds.....Instead I'm going to run just the one big pen I have with all the colors mixed. That should produce some BEAUTIFUL Jumbo birds. Some pures and some crosses. My current flock is....

			<description>Bought some quail eggs from Asda 18 days ago, thought I would put them in my incubator to see if I get any babies. 

 

 Every year I buy a few eggs - quail &amp; chicken - as you always hear of success at hatching them, but never had any luck myself, until now      I have 7 fluffy quail running round the incubator.  All look healthy.  The eggs were much bigger than the normal japanese eggs also in the incubator.

			<description><![CDATA[Hello,
<br />

<br />
Is it possible to encourage bobwhites to sit and hatch their own eggs,  I'd love to be able to raise some naturally, but most of the info on the net suggests that bobwhites that were hatched in an incubator will have no parenting skills.  What have your experiences been?
<br />

Cheers]]></description>

<br />
 
<br />
We're interested in keeping quail a bit later in the year.  Are there any breeders near Mid-Wales on the forum or can anyone recommend anybody?  From reading the posts about the type of breed I'm pretty sure we'd be looking for regular Japanese quail.

I have an interest in genetics (I used to

love to predict colour and feather patterns when I used to breed budgies).



I'm new to quails, but I've been doing some research on the different colour forms. I have seen references to &quot;ginger&quot; and &quot;red&quot; forms, but not seen them being sold anywhere. Anyone seen these?



Is this a distinct colour mutation or the result of a combination of existing colour factors (e.g. Fawn/Gold or Fawn/Range)? I suggest Fawn (or  ...</description>

			<title>Fertility</title>
			<link>http://coturnixcorneruk.forumotion.com/breeding-f34/fertility-t744.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Harrie</dc:creator>
			<description>I put in 8 jumbo eggs and 7 were fertile and 7 hatched!!!      I was surprised as I've read fertility reduces alot a 6 months and mine are coming up to this plus the fact that they are jumbos so not so fertile as  normal quail due to being overweight fatties.  So do you think fertility is linked to age of quail or when they start laying as mine have just started to lay in the last few wks so they eggs will be the first produced by quail and therefore young??     Wajda think???

			<description>Hi..............Just a little tip with umidity. With incubators that have note got automatic umidity. I bought some Ayelsbury Duck eggs of ebay very cheap. And the lady told me everytime you open the incubator give it a good swirt of water from one of these swirty bottles and you get your umidity straight back without waiting hours. You have to set it on the finest spray you can. Hope this helps someone it certainly helped me...............cliftonh..................</description>

<br />
Ive just hatched out quite a few White Quail and they are now 5/6 weeks old and one or two are starting to be a little dominant Any ideas on best method of sexing at this age? I have tried the foam test on a few but proves inconclusive or maybe they are a little too young yet.
<br />

<br />
Any advice appreciated.
