How do you incubate quail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

to start of with get a reasonable sized carboard box and next get a picture frame and take the glass from it, cut a square from the top of the box smaller than the sheet of glass and then seal around the edge with glue or strong tape so its air-tight that then makes a window for you to see how the eggs are getting on . next line the bottom of the box with a small touel of some sort, then make a small door like shape on the side of the box so you are able to open and close it and connect the light to it but remember it must be no hotter than 60w to prevent fire hazards. then make a small hand sized door on the other side so that your can turn the eggs around once or twice daily and so you can put a little bowl of water and change the temperature if needed and the temperature should be around 100 degrees

Why would a quail dig in a dirt bed then flip dirt on itself?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's called a dirt bath. They dig until the dirt is very fine and then flip it onto themselves until it gets under their feathers. The very fine dirt smothers any lice or mites the birds might have. Dirt is also very good to clean with as well to absorb excess oil. Desert Birds generally do this because of the scarcity of water. Matter fact it works with human hair as well, just might not smell as good as soap :P

Is quail and pigeon the same bird?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No-

They both come from the same family, and some (like white coturnix)look rather similar in body and beakshape, but they are completely different birds. Quail have different plumage, and cannot fly as well as pigeons, as they have very strong wing muscles built to take off quickly and fly over short distances, whereas pigeons can fly as well as most other columbiformes.

How many types of quails are there?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you really mean breeds, there are none - breeds are true-breeeding man-made strains of a domesticated animal. If you mean species, that depends on what you really count as quail as the common name "quail" has no precise meaning in taxonomic terms. If you consider all the birds that are galliformes and are most often called quail (many are also called partridge), there are around 45 species known to science.
