Bobwhite Quail Eggs

good hatch rate, great birds!I have hatched several batches of McMurray bobwhites over the past couple of years and average about a 85% hatch out of a small Hovabator Incubator, which I think is pretty good. What I find outstanding, however, is the quality of the birds from these hatches. The chicks have been super healthy; they thrive and grow fast on commercial turkey starter crumbles. I use my adult birds for training field trial dogs. They fly really well, even when not conditioned. They also act like wild birds and are not tame, in fact they scatter and run for cover at the first sight of a human. They also recall extremely well, so I don't lose many after release. I highly recommend these quail!

Don’t do itI hatched 90 eggs in a automated incubator with egg rocker. Only 24 hatched. Of those 24 hatched 7 died before they even dried in the Incubator. I normally get 80%+ with chickens turkeys and quail. I’m so mad for wasting my money.5/1/2022
