Hi is this the same for all types of quail I have hatched buttons and definitely need more female

Hi I’m new to the quail game I have 4week old Egyptian jumbo quails. So when the start laying how long do I have before I start incubating? Especially if I don’t want to hatch too many and also want eggs to consume? Thanks for your help and sharing your knowledge/ videos.

Sorry to inform you but I actually followed what you said and it was off, out of 11 eggs, l believed l had 1 male and 10 females, turns out I ended up with 8 males and 3 females.

And what was the result? Was that one that you suspected to be male a male? And all others females?

I’m just starting to research growing quail and found this interesting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and hope you have a Merry Christmas.

So i have a very young flock of quail just starting to lay, so currently i have 2 eggs from yesterday and today, how long do i collect the eggs for before putting into the incubator? And do you candle day 15 after putting into the incubator or from yhe day they were laid?

I have always incubated mine at 37.6 and every single time all or nearly all hatch. I don’t even turn my eggs. You can tell male or female at day old. Females have long feathered wings and males have short wings. Great video. I will try this and see how I go.

What were the eventual results please?

Can this theory apply to button quail eggs? Thx❤

Well... Studies have shown that the size, shape, and color of chicken eggs are determined by the breed of the chicken and not by the sex of the chicken. Additionally, there is no known biological mechanism that would cause male and female chicken embryos to develop differently in the eggshell, which would result in visible differences in egg appearance. But, you can try.

What abt if it isn't fertilized then what shape would it be.

Did the experiment work with the egg's?

Did you make that water dispenser for your quail? Very good way to water them. How did you make it?

Very informative. Thank you!

Dear, not all quail are the same. Those are Courtnix. It's like buying feed for a mud duck. Dark meat and the taste leaves much to be desired. The eggs are good however. The Bob White is a much better choice as the meat is white and dense. There is no better eatin on the planet!!!! You will want every rooster you can get!!! The eggs are just as good as chicken eggs, just smaller. Bob White is harder to raise but well worth the effort. They can fly like an F15 so you got to watch em ;)

That is a bunch of crap. It is an old wives tale.

This seemed very unlikely but I looked into it & I did find a scientific paper saying there is a slight difference in shape between male & female eggs. So maybe there is something in it!

It's a proven fact that on a large scale hundreds of eegs not 7 that pointy eggs are male around 50% off the time, and round eggs are female around 50% of the time.

I’ve just started a batch. It’s about 4 days now but I got eggs from local household. I’m hoping they are fertile cause they sold both fertile & infertile. The infertile was way cheaper. I didn’t know about the sex thing but now I’m going to check when I put them in lockdown. I’m doing a dry hatch cause my video research shows people did better at dry hatching. I’m excited and impatient so I have a hard time leaving them alone. I did try candling twice. Today I seen the air sac so I’m hoping that’s a good sign. I only check 1 egg each time so it’s quick and I don’t mess with all of them. I read it’s ok since the mother hen leaves the nest to forage. I also take care of the wild birds around here. I feed the chickens, doves & pigeons daily. My friends & I have rescued the baby chicks and we’ve relocated families so they would be safer. The birds recognize us and come running when they see us. I usually feed them twice a day. My pup chases them cause she thinks they are friends. We have a rescued pigeon who is now family since she won’t leave us. My pup & the pigeon, Epic & Manu play well together. It’s funny to watch them. Epic will grab Manu by a wing and Manu will get away then dive bomb Epic. Manu lays eggs and Epic eats them.

Thank you for this video.

great video.

thank you for this video, Ive learned a lot from it. Please can you tell me at what age baby quail are able to leave the brooding box?

I think it actually works because I tried the same theory on chicken eggs and from the 7 chicks only 1 was a male 😀

As far as scientific literature is concerned, there is no way to sex any bird based solely on its egg without testing its hormonal content with a specialised probe (through a small hole created by a precise laser less than 1mm wide at day 4-7 of incubation). The closest you could get without spending millions on testing equipment (like is done in some european egg company breeding facilities, due to laws prohibiting the culling of male chicks en masse) would be to breed your quail to be "sex-linked" and seperate the day old chicks by colour. This has between a 98.2% to 99.1% success rate when done properly. The best improvement I've seen reported using "the pointy egg method" is an 8% improvement in female to male ratios but some studies ended up hatching more males than females using this method so it seems this process is extremely randomized. If the sex of your flock is vital knowledge to have before the usual 3 weeks of age, buy or breed "sex-linked" birds.

Lol

Please more detail about its food thank you for your valuable video ❤️❤️❤️

What bedding are you using?

I hatched 8 eggs how many will be male of the 8?

What if my quail egg wants decide it own gender? Or decide it wants to be trans? 😂😂😂

Can you tell ahead of time if are fertile eggs? or have to wait till part way thru incubating?

Your videos are great please continue posting 😍

My co-worker that raises quails just told me the same thing. I didn't know that.

This is completely false information. Egg shape has nothing to do with sex. An anecdotal video doesn't constitute proof of anything.

In the philippines, they manage to cross breed japanese taiwan and japanese seattle. the mix breed can be determined from day 1 if female or male. Just search it, I am not joking.

I've just started my first time trying to hatch quail eggs it's my first time so I'm really excited. Just wanted to thank you for your video it was really helpful and useful.

I need to say this::: Quail eggs make me extra friski 👊 seriously

Thanks

Lady you have demencja you start with 11 eggs and you have 8 quails You have to correct yourself because you saying from 10 eggs I get 8 quails

guys this doesn't work, the shape depends on the genetics and chemical balance of the female, sex doesn't make much of difference in hormonal balance

Wonderful video.. Ive learned more a lot of it.

Nah 70 percent male and 30 percent female this method didnt work for me i guess I tried hatching 200 eggs and the result are 85 males and 76 female and i didnt use this method

It's a 50 50 shot I guess. No true way to tell.

Why do u need to differentiate the male or female eggs, are you going to discard some of them?

Hi! Any updates on the sex the the quails? Was your initial evaluation accurate? TIA.

Where is your updated about it is true or not ???
