How do you hatch Japanese quail eggs without an incubator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Use a broody bantam chicken to sit on them. Actually, peafowl farmers often use a broody hen to sit on peafowl eggs for the first seven days, then put them in an incubator for the remaining 21 days. This is done because there is something about the early development of the embryo that works better under a bird.

What age do quail start laying eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here's my limited experience: Bobwhite quail hatched on 5/13/09. One egg was laid on 9/16/09. No other eggs to date. I have 5 males and 7 females housed together in a 3X5 raised pen. The pen is outdoors in Georgia. I had read that egg laying begins at 5-6 months, but one of mine obviously laid at 4 months. The shell was thin in some spots and thicker in other, which I'm told is typical for the first egg or two.

This person is trained to deal with all kinds of aricultural and animal problems that might beset the resdients of the county.

Find your nearest County Agent and ask him/her any question you wish and you'll receive sound and expert advice. Their services are FREE, because you have already paid for them with your state taxes.
