It is quite rare to have a broody Coturnix quail so I was surprised to find that Caroline Quail has decided to sit on eggs. She's been there for a week and seems quite keen to raise some young. The eggs should have been fertilised so I hope that we will soon have some of the cutest babies around. Come take a look...

Bless her, there's so many eggs and she's only so big, but she's trying. Very sweet, I hope she has some success!

Hi Liz. She is a trier that's for sure. I do hope for her sake she hatches some little ones.

Hi Mags like you said they don't tend to go broody this is wonderful and your birds look so good.

@mygardenanddinosaurs Год назад

Thanks. They are doing well. Curly has recovered from the beating he took and his vim and vigour has returned. All the best. Mags

Did she gather the eggs? Or did you give them to her?

Hi where did you get the wicker nesting basket from, looks so cool

@mygardenanddinosaurs Год назад

Hi Sid. I bought it on Amazon. Do a search for small animal grass house and you should see some examples. Don't know if this exact one is still available but there are plenty of others.

that is amazing. did you end up having to seperate them when the eggs hatched? that is wonderful to see. did any hatch? I saw one video where the female had some hatched eggs and she was very protective. watching your video's leaves me with a peaceful feeling. I greatly appreciate them. You have a blessed day.

@mygardenanddinosaurs 9 месяцев назад

Hi there. Sadly the eggs didn't hatch. I think she was sitting on too many and couldn't cover them consistently. However, literally yesterday we had a broody quail hen hatch out seven little ones. Videos on this will follow soon :)

@johoney5458 9 месяцев назад

sorry to hear of the 1st one. how many eggs was she sitting on. it was enough for two hens. that is wonderful about the 2nd. same house or different. maybe it was contagious. lol. that make you a grandma. how's it feel to you. big smiles and have a blessed day.@@mygardenanddinosaurs

Did she manage to hatch any of the eggs?

@mygardenanddinosaurs 11 месяцев назад

Hi Nick. Sorry I meant to get another video up regarding this. She sat for 20 days then got off. Nothing hatched sadly. I opened a few up and certainly some had started growing. I think she was set on too many and so the heat wasn't consistent enough. If there is a next time I will prevent the other girls adding eggs to the nest. It sad but she seems unphased by it. Thanks for your interest. Mags

What do you use for bedding ?

@mygardenanddinosaurs 9 месяцев назад

Hi Debbie. I use a hemp bedding called Aubichick. It stays fresh for ages and any poos you miss just dry out and disintegrate. I use it for my chickens too.

@myrustygarden Год назад

What do you do with the chicks 🐥 once they hatch? It’s so cute though watching here push them under her body ❤, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦

@mygardenanddinosaurs Год назад

Hiya Ali. I will keep the chicks. I don’t need boys but will look after the inevitable boy contingent and try to rehome some. Girls will be integrated into the existing flocks. I don’t know how successful Caroline will be at hatching but time will tell. 😊
