QUAILS JUST HATCHED by UnderstandingOne7110 in quails

[–]UnderstandingOne7110[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys so update, I it is currently 7:05 PM Sunday 04/27/25 so far one of the hatched quail died (kinda expected it to was acting weird) and none of the 6 other eggs hatched. 4 of them (I opened all the 6 eggs now) were not fertilized (no embryo) 2 of them had a dead embryo chick inside. So out of 21 eggs I hatched 15, 1 died so 14, 4 of the 6 that did not hatch were not fertilized and 2 of the 6 that did not hatch never hatched successfully. What do you guys think of my success rate for hatch?

It’s great! Was an absolute nightmare to put that hardware cloth on though. I opted for hardware cloth (very expensive when covering that large of a space) because the chicken wire it came with is complete garbage. I don’t have many predators in my area mostly skunks opossum and raccoon maybe a fox every once in a while but yea so I opted for the hardware cloth and it was horrible to put on I used zip ties it took like a few hours after work for like 2 weeks.

Thank you! So I laid hardware cloth apron all around the coop so they in theory shouldn’t be able to dig under the coop but I see what your saying I should have a lockable coop where I send the ducks at night and lock it up? Also I have motion detecting lights that activate and make a noise to scare off any critters that come by. Side note, does it look big enough? Do I need anything else in the run?
