| Quail hatching eggs |
The first 5 days, the chicks are living under a lamp in a box with a layer of compacted hay 3-4cm. This solves the problem of so-called "helicopter" or "sliders" - chicks with weak legs in hand, crawling on the belly. 2-3 days in the manger everything "helicopters" straighten and stand on their feet.
You can not put chicks on a newspaper or other smooth, dense surface - "helicopters" did not catch hold paws, the other chicks to press down, and they remain disabled. Sawdust is also not suitable because their chicks are naklevatsya. Hay is changing the extent of pollution (transplanted to another mailbox).
Bulb in the box located at a height of 5-10cm from the surface of the hay, the height of the lamp is adjustable. The chicks should be laid to sleep under the lamp flat "mat" or ring in the middle if too hot. Under one lamp (regular light bulbs with 40W) is located 35-40 chicks, no more, otherwise it is not enough space "under the sun", they are restricted and can knock down those who are in the middle.
Eat chicks milled in a coffee grinder chicken feed CS-1-3, or feed for broiler chickens PC-5 (you can not grind it fine) and minced (crushed with a fork), a boiled egg. After 4-5 days, move to a box with a grid on the bottom (cell 10h10mm) and also with a lamp on top. Drinkers vacuum (you can do it yourself), small at first, then more. For three weeks the young birds are sitting as standard cell, eating only animal feed and sleep at night without light 6 hours. Up to 2-week-old light shines and warms the clock. At the age of 1 month girls live separately from the boys. In the first 2 months have borne, the latter ready to use. For fattening males using special cells in which the plywood sides do not allow them to be distracted from its primary responsibility - to eat, drink, sleep, and again there.
