Quail chick hatching

[HorticultureShow]

how can someone dislike this video? they hate life or something?

[HorticultureShow]

AWESOME VIDEO!

[Dubsky1678]

if you are raising a quail from a egg with no parents how long after they have hatched do you feed them

[HorticultureShow]

@Dubsky1678 - immediately using medicated starter high protein crumbles. if you don't use the medicated crumbles, they probably wont make it. I learned the hard way.

[Edgeworthscravat]

what a bloody beautiful little baby...

[khaatun255]

That is not a quail egg. That's belgian d'anver barbu egg.

[tweeterbird2009]

aawww its so cute is it a bobwhite quail

[soupdexter1]

why can't you just break the egg-shell? it hurts the baby or whatsoever?

[dragonballz591]

@soupdexter1 yeah it hurts the baby its good just to let the chick do it its own because there still might be blood in the egg. that happened to me one time when i first started i helped it there was still blood it was still alive though. and i think a day later it hatched perfectly healthy so NEVER do that.

[cutielover23]

@soupdexter1 Helping them harms their muscle development. So if they can hatch by themselves, it shows they're healthy and strong.

[hpygoat]

A baby is a sign the world must go on...an old saying

[FunnyGuy8890]

@hpygoat I like that saying:)

[pokelover500]

thtas not a egg



[madja2224]

do they lay eggs without the male ?????

[khaza1wolfgurl]

@madja2224 oh, like chickens? good question! :0

[danielwayt78]

welcome to earth

[danielwayt78]

welcome to the earth

[jekari0]

I love it wen the birds chirp like cheerleaders clapping them on to come faster "YEA! YEA! YEA! YEA!'

2:15

[danevati]

Thumbs up if you skipped till the end

[blazorxdeltav]

i had hatch out of an egg like a chain saw. i mean it was peaking around the shell like there was no tomorrow.

[Sennoko]

"FREEEDOOOOMMMM...... ack, my butts still stuck!"

[Sennoko]

birds have it easy... they just pop out the egg and watch over it until the baby is ready to pop out.

mammals carry around the baby and then the baby pops out D:

[j196857]

IS IT SAFE TO BREAK THE EGG FOR THE LITTLE GUY ?

[mydogandme100]

the baby dies not come out till like 9:38

[shane246849]

we hateched six so far in my class one hatched yesterday! we have 5 alive, one died. :( RIP no name!

[RemMan700]

That must have been a tight fit inside that egg. LOL.. That chick looks pretty big compaired to the egg.

[mariaisbetter]

so whats the thing about quail? i mean can you use them for their eggs? how often do they lay eggs

[Tamryn69]

@mariaisbetter

They only lay once a year in the spring. Sushi establishments serve quail eggs...

[thepsp619]

@Tamryn69 and I eat! lol

[cmathew4]

@mariaisbetter in captivity they can lay up to 200-300 eggs a year

[schlaznger]

This would have been a good video to show at a higher speed

[OllieAverage]

Ever read the book "that quail robert"? It's a good book if you're into quail raising.

[orangemushroomcake]

Fucking hatch already man.

[DREIFUFFSICH]

he should stomp it around 2:30

[NeroRome]

LOLOL

[haseeb112]

@carljum they mostly eat chick crumbs

[296801]

The first four and a half minutes is boring!!!!

[Tamryn69]

@296801

If you watch closely, you can see the chick peck away a the shell from he inside throughout the video...

[hectanooga]

That dude is slow... I got out of my egg way faster than that. What a noob.

[Minazukix33]

you should put a little towel on top of the egg so when they are out of the egg the landing will be soft and their leg wont get caught in the holes

[WillandVal]

We used to keep quails in an aviary and they had lots of young but they were so small we kept losing them to mice.

I wish we had hand reared them now and put them back when they were big enough to look after themselves.

[Busterdrag]

@WillandVal Aren't mice herbivores?

I could understand rats eating baby quails, but mice?

[WillandVal]

I dont know...

we kept seeing mice and assumed it was them but I did spot a huge rat in my neighbours garden recently, so it could have been rats.

[Tamryn69]

@Busterdrag

The baby quail are very tiny...

[Fleefles]

@Busterdrag

Mice are omnivores. They'll pretty much eat anything, even their own kind. :P

[thfj1]

add some music but softly

[ilovesaske123]

What do you do right after they hatch? Let them rest?

[margsifrenia]

does anyone know how to get quail eggs??? I've always wanted quail, they're my fave birds.

[JSBlindside]

eBay

[ZeroRevenge1]

Well we have a friend who owns a farm and he gives us eggs all the time. All I hsve to say is find a local bird farm and buy it from there I think its like a buck an egg and 6-12 $ for a quail

[NinjaPi]

Aww, cute! But, why were there markings on the eggs?

[maltazep]

I am assuming that the markings are to know when the eggs where placed in the incubator.

[VolTt11]

does anyone notice how the baby like kicks the other egg

[MaroonStorm]

be free little one!

[yudansha573]

any advice for a rookey? my quail layed some eggs and won't sit, so I'm incubating them with some chicken eggs... what do you think I should do?

[fattcatt4321]

i am pretty sure quails will only sit on them in the wild but thats exactly what i did incubated them just like chicken eggs except i think they hatch a day or two earlier

[southern141]

my two girls are sitting here you need planty of leaves and pine needles for the "couple" to make a mest i put a scrap piece of plywood laying against another to where it created a little private area and put the leaves and pine needles in a bundle near the entance of the private area and the two quail made the nest a few days ago and now shes setting :) just needs a quiet are where nothing is bothering her.

[yudansha573]

they've built two nests and we've given them plenty of pine needles and grass. i wonder if all the quail lay in the same nest? maybe they get confused about which one's the Mother...

[jstngardipee]

it is nice to see your creaters work come into this world. thanks.

[kkcola118]

you raise quail? that is awesome. do you give any advice? my brother just got 2 baby quails from my grampa, we think they're maybe 2 or 3 weeks old, but this is our first time raising quail. if you offer advice i'd love to be able to talk to you some about it ^^

[brandonbofsunnyv]

im trying to hatch five sparrow eggs im putting them under a heat lamp put i haev school and idk when they will hatch and my mom is at work does anybody know how i can take care of them

[sk8rboydrummer426]

[asifhazro1]

wow

[poke507]

[SerialKiller845]

[Pringentdc]

Bravo little baby hatchling! Bravo!

[7thNCtrooper2]

HAHAHA! Bobwhite! I love the sound!

[trooperx666]

im starting our raising chickens and quail , umm what do quail eat?

[yostenkane]

If you hatch a quail chick from an incubator, will it accept you as its "parent"???

[xaina18]

Yes

[baek7]

l;ong time to hatch lol

[54spiritedwill54]

quails are so cute!

[poultrycrazy]

OMG!! sooooooooo cute =D i <3 all birds lol

[makeitandskateit]

I've just watched mine hatch too!! You shouldn't really open the incubator yet though!!

[heavyartilery12]

cool vid i raise 3 difrent kind o quail and 9 difrent chicks on a farm so i love birds! keep on hatcing

[KISAME4161392]

why's everyone talking about cats??? this is a quail video!

[Tamryn69]

"KISAME4161392 (1 month ago) Show Hide

why's everyone talking about cats??? this is a quail video!"

I raised quail to release. There was a big problem with stray cats in the neighborhood and surrounding area killing off all that I had let loose. The discussion concerns killing of the strays because of 2 main reasons..

1) They kill indigenous species (cats are intruders)

2) Cats kill for the sport of it, and rarely eat what they kill in populated areas (trash bind and handouts they eat instead)

[kittenlover666]

an alternative would be to trap the cats and take them to a nonprofit organization for spaying/neutering.

[HomeDistiller]

i would feel bad thats why my cats don't go outside.. and you seem to be saying we shouldn't cut down trees so the birds have enough room so the stray cats cant get them?? if stay cats only ate non native bird i wouldn't care but they eat more natives hear than introduced..

and your going to give up your home and go live in a humpy in the bush?

as for the nonprofit organisation they have no money as it is and 80% or something gets put down anyway

[kittenlover666]

well for one thing i have indoor cats but some times they get out. secondly all i am saying is that we should share some of the blame because

we are destroying their nesting area. I am not saying that cats are entirely blameless.

[Tamryn69]

Homedistiller,

They don't even eat what they kill... I've watched the stray cats just kill for sport. They leave the carcasses lay to rot. That's why I just shoot them.

[Tamryn69]

"kittenlover666 (1 month ago) Show Hide

an alternative would be to trap the cats and take them to a nonprofit organization for spaying/neutering."

It's cheaper and smarter to just dispatch the strays. If you take them to a pound, and they are adopted, there is always that chance that they'll get out and start killing the surrounding wildlife again.

[kittenlover666]

also how would u feel if your cats got out by accident and were killed by someones poison cat trap.

[kittenlover666]

that is int fair to cats a lot of the damage to the bird population could be solved if we didn't deforest large areas to build houses, city's or for lumber. so its not fair to blame cats for it mainly.

[HomeDistiller]

i HATE stray cats.. i have even heard of a lady that traps strays and eats them (apparently taste very similar to rabbit) and as in Aus (on the mainland anyway) we have not many meat eaters that could get the baits by accident it would be safe for the natives.

[Tamryn69]

High power 22 air rifles work very well :)

[HomeDistiller]

you would work great but as im on a small block and also dont have a gun licence then thats no good to me :P although i am working on a high power air cannon that could work :P

[HomeDistiller]

I'm toying with the idea of poisoned baits, or traps, outdoor cats are irresponsible and not the safest for the cat anyway (i have 2 cats both fit, healthy, and as happy as punch indoors) and if you don't lock your cat up at night then thats your fault..

[HomeDistiller]

I'm with you on the culling 110% cats, dogs, foxes, rabbits, hares and introduced birds are the main problem in Aus, i have a small bird trap and regularly catch introduced birds (Indian miners, black birds, and thrush's mostly) i hate them the natives aren't dumb enough to go into the trap and as yet i have never had to release a wrong breed of trapped bird. do you have laws as to when a cat can be outside? all cat are to be locked up from dusk to dawn (I'm most council areas anyway)

[Tamryn69]

Homedistiller,

The laws around here only cover the licensing (taxes to be collected) and cleanup after dogs. I've seen neighbors that leave the area.. free the cats into the neighborhood... I end up having to pop them when they come around at night. If you let 'em loose they're a nuisance and thus fair game for target practice.

[HomeDistiller]

do you eat them?

im starting to breed my own so i have a supply of quail to eat. i am incubateing my first lot now.. 24 eggs in a home made incubator.. im expecting around the 25-50% sucess rate lol but atleast the ones that do hatch i know they will be strong breeders lol

[Tamryn69]

No I didn't eat them, I left them go hoping to try to repopulate the area but to no avail. The stray cats in the area took care of that idea.

I thoroughly advocate culling of ALL stray animals on the basis that they decimate indigenous species.

[7DrakeFlare3]

I raise Cockatiels n budgies, I got a few japaneese quails and I'm getting some calafornian quails. all seem to get along fine so far. if all go's well I'm looking into breeding a few. see if I can do as well with quails as I do with the others. any tips?

[Tamryn69]

Nope, real easy to do.

[qwethedevilgirl]

did u write on the eggs or something?

[Tamryn69]

Pencil so that ink will not absorb through the shell.

Marked the lay date so that incubation period can be determined.

[1minidisco]

Life´s first struggle.

[SmellySocksJocks]

LOL That's so cute :)

[Kwizii]

How can he chirp before breaking the shell, I mean before getting air?

Otherwise good video :)

[Tamryn69]

There's about 4 dozen eggs in the incubator and about 6 other chicks that recently hatched in with this one.....

[4psyche]

I feel so terrible, these boys stole two baby quails from its mother to impress us, I was like, we can't look after them, we have to set them free, so I got the boys to take us to the place the stole them and leave them there, but they kept running after us, must have imprinted or something.. and they kept stumbling. they were so cute! it was so horrible. I just left them.. god i feel so bad!

[Tamryn69]

They're dead now. All you had to do is get some chicken scratch they'll peck at it automatically.... They're really care free to tend.

[1minidisco]

how did you cook them?

[ecchibanzaii]

dude...

[littleprincessgo]

IT TAKES FOREVER TO HATCH

[ArtMusicRepeat]

ever wonder what it would be like to just gain consciousness inside an egg?

like to suddenly just realize that you are alive and stuff. I'm doing a performance where I have to hatch myself in front of ppl.

[Tamryn69]

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Getting laid"

[Jusala12]

Anyone know how much it cost to buy an incubator?

[Tamryn69]

The cheap styrofoam ones are ~40. Thats what I have

[Tamryn69]

Go to a local Farm Co-OP or feed supply and you can find them there.. Or you can look around on ebay or any of the hatchery sites online.

[Jusala12]

Ooh, thanks yo.

[ya13er]

black chick ?

[dblockmoney34]

can egg we buy hatch?

[CCBerryy]

nope. egg we buy are refrigerated and that freezes/kills the interior it self

[SwizzyGotStyle]

no, its just that the male chicken never fertilized the egg. Which are practically the eggs we eat.

[Jusala12]

No no, the eggs we buy aren't even fertilized, therefore never alive. The only thing in them is the goop(food) that was supposed to feed the fetus inside.

[HomeDistiller]

yeah a chook doesn't need a root to lay an egg. they are just unfertile. I'm sure your girl friend would stop having sex if it meant she would stop producing eggs the there for not having her period.

[Jusala12]

Yeah okay thanks. -_-'

[HatchingEggs]

quails are so cute!

[thegoodpenny]

This video is absolutely precious. Thanks for sharing it. The miracle of life is so beautiful. I am going to show this to all the kids I know in New York City... :-)

[xXWatchinsumvideosXx]

how many days when the egg is hatching?

[callie698]

inkibate it for 23 days it takes 2 days while their hatching

[Hawkcat75]

Do they suffacae if they can't get out?

[kgekeg]

well its usual that they should be able to get out on thier own but i dont think that happens too often

[callie698]

usally if they dont try their dead or too weak.We help out the birds that were chirping

[pinkmints]

bravo little guy!!!

[erinkaos]

Oh wow.

That's so cute!

[emodino22331]

that was amazing. HE peckde half way through the egg then came out xD Question. What happens if the chick can't get out of the egg shell, do you help it out?

[Tamryn69]

I have learned that if the chick is too weak to emerge on it's own, it will not survive if you help it to get out anyway. Sad but true.

[emodino22331]

oh I see. I thought someone told me that but I just wanted to make sure. DAmn..Life's harsh

[starshock01]

actually if the chick cant get out on its own its usually because the humidity was too low causing the cell membrane to harden and encase the chick

[callie698]

yea they do get weak but we ended up with side winders when we help now their walking:')

im so happy.now they are healthy are strom and TAME

[Rudahn]

The writing on the egg. Is that the aproximate hatching day, or when they wrre layed/collected?

[Tamryn69]

That is the date in which they were collected and placed in the incubator. There's also an "X" and "O" on opposite sides for turning the eggs...

[koz2306]

OMFG, Funniest comment I read, I couldn't literally type for a minute, hahaha, post a video on how you feed them, it will be funny and yet educational, hahaha

[Tamryn69]

They know how to peck for food immediately. I used finely ground up chicken feed. No teaching is required.

[asdfh456]

they're must be something wrong with you.

[99help]

KAWAIII(cute)!!!!!

[markhorneyuk]

sick!

[Souledge9002]

wtf is wrong with you dude?

[LYINGBOWL]

ohw that big thing come out that small egg by the way its ugly

[Tamryn69]

You were ugly too when you first popped out....

[dodge250]

how do you know how quails are male and female and do you have to build a nest for the egs please reply

[Tamryn69]

You do not know until they are a couple months old. The stripes around the eyes on the male are white and on the females are buff/ beige colored. Nest? NO, I use a styrofoam incubator that you can get from a grain and feed store for livestock.

[basedontruth]

That was fantastic! I love that it was so long; my 3 1/2 year old girl had never seen one really hatch, and I was glad that I could show it in real time. THANKS!

[Tamryn69]

I am glad the vid brought someone joy :)

[walletman23]

this is all hatching vid should be very still and very long (optional)only

[Loradreamx]

Do you have to get a liscence to get these eggs?

[Tamryn69]

Some states you may have to, but not here. Besides, I had quail to begin with and I incubated their eggs since they don't get very broody with their own eggs in captivity.

[shcs1110]

what kind of quail is that?

[Tamryn69]

Bobwhite

[Sonictheblueblur]

CUTE ^^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reggin9949]

so cute i just my bobwhite eggs in yesterday so it will be a while before they hatch

[Tamryn69]

Keep the humidity adjusted the temp around 100-101 and turn them 3x a day and you'll have plenty running around before long :) Be sure to mark them with the date you put them in the 'oven' and count 23 days :)

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE

[denisescritters]

cute but did it hurt the other egg that it kicked.

[denisescritters]

[legomasterchief]

EPIC QUAIL!!!

[VendettasD]

lulz. Who called in the /b/tards?

I know I didn't.

But Xenu loves quail.

[jackelcackel]

What would you do if the egg tooth broke off when they were still in the egg??

[Tamryn69]

That would never happen as it is part of their beak. It is on the upper tip of the beak. It disappears within the first day after hatching.

[saublebeachchick]

wow he is big compared to the egg

[jackelcackel]

WHat is??????

[saublebeachchick]

the chick

[crackers3071]

I never knew people hatched birds as a hobby.

Sounds kinda like fun.

[spinbrite]

It is fun to hatch and raise birds.

Should you have any questions about how to get started raising birds, let me know. I am willing to help you get started.

[jackelcackel]

What do you feed baby quail??? i ordered a incubator yesterday! what do you feed them when the are older?

[snowballfan]

Excellent video! It was very educational and interesting to watch. Thanks.

[kaaaaaaaaaara]

that's awsome! i cant believe it only took 10 minutes for it to get out! im hatching chickens right now, supposedly they're hatching on Nov. 29.

[Tamryn69]

Good luck on the hatchlings :)
