Janty Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Does anybody on here keep Californian or Gambel quail? I quite like their quiffy heads and colours but wondered about hatching requirements (as somebody on ebay stated that they have a much longer incubation period) and general habits (as I saw a Californian quail perching). Anybody know anything about these sweeties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I don't have any, but a friend does - their little crests are so He used to have loads but cut his numbers down last year - all lived in heated sheds or an aviary I think they're more suited to higer runs/aviaries rather than a hutch/lower run set-up because they like to perch They take 23 days to hatch and I think you can hatch them dry or at lower humidity but not sure - I can find out if you're stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
