Maybe for storing eggs prior to setting in incubator, you could have an extra incubator that is not turned on (but it would contain a turner which is plugged in) and the turner could do all the egg turning while the eggs are stored there. Also, a person might be able to add a bit of sterilized water to the incubator troughs, which might help keep them from drying out while in storage.
Thank you. I had a funny experience trying to explain what an "egg bloom" was to my daughters orthodontist. He was fascinated when I told him my quail eggs were stored out of the refrigerator, hence me having to explain the bloom. lol
lol. It is hard for us as modern Americans to understand that not everything needs to be "sterile" and refrigerated. Try telling him that butter doesn't need to be refrigerated either and see what he says. :)
I have used a chicken egg turner before and it worked just fine. Just can't fit as many eggs in the incubator with them as you can with the quail egg turner.
If a quail egg has been sitting on my counter top for awhile, and I keep the inside of my house around 72 degrees, when I do a float test and some float, does that mean they’re necessarily bad? Because I cracked one that floated, and it didn’t smell when I cracked it open
@@Slightlyrednecked Narr mate, you have helped me at start of my journey with goliath quail ansewring the questions i had, without me even asking and in 5-15 mins... i was messing up all over the place, serious... start of my spring astronomicaly today. Suppsed to be 5 seasons in Australia... cause of pommys we only have 4, i wish all the best mate, cant thank you enought tbh. Legend statis.
Also had them free ranging my small yard... my father came over today... first time in over a year i found out they can fly.... HAHAHAHA ahhh dear... went on a quail round up over my neighbours yards...
As long as you are ordering from a reputable supplier and don't let the eggs just sit outside in freezing temps once they are delivered, it is fine. The hard part is definitely the delivery. If you are like me, I work all day so can't be home to get the delivery. If the weather is freezing on delivery day I am kind of out of luck. I would just wait for a week were the forecast looks favorable and then order if it were me. Hope that helps.
i want to ask why are you spraying the eggs with a listerine mixer when the eggs have a natural barrier for the egg protection to me its a waste of money me i don't spray mines i incubate them as is and always had decent hatch rates
Hi Chris. Are the eggmakers and the meatmakers two varities from the same species? Over here (Sweden) I havent heard of these, seems like we only have the Japaneese Jumbo Quail here. Have you made a video about the differences between eggmakers and meatmakers?
I have talked about the difference between the Pharoah (egg makers) and Meat Makers in the past (not much of a difference really). They are both just two varieties of Coturnix quail. They won't be significantly different than a Jumbo Japanese quail (also a Coturnix quail). I hope that makes sense.
Don't wash them but use what? Can you write it down please. I'm not English speaker it was hard to understand the exact words. Did you said wash them with Alcohol ?
If you are saving them to incubate them use Isopropyl Alcohol mixed 50% with water in a spray bottle and mist them. You can also use gold Listerine mixed with water or Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with water. I hope that helps.
yes, There is actually some pretty good evidence that eating them raw provides some very good health benefits and can treat a number of different ailments.
Our quail have been a disappointment. From birds that attack one another to infertile eggs, to a weasel attack, we are not going to continue. We had 1 male for 4 females.
