Those who decided to grow quails at home shouldto know that this bird needs a certain area for normal existence: for layers - from 1150 to 180 cm2; for meat breeds - up to 260 square meters. see. Depending on the available area, it can be concluded how many birds can be kept.

The next step is the acquisition of cells for birds. But if the quail will be bred in the open territory, then the cells are not needed.

It should be noted that quail females raised inat home, lost the instinct of hatching eggs. That is why poultry farmers use incubators for young animals. If you yourself grow young, you should take care of acquiring it. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the egg laying capacity and its technical data. The temperature of the incubation of eggs of quails is 37.7 ° C, the relative humidity in the incubator is 50-60%. The incubation period is 17 days.

For a uniform distribution of lighting (longitude of a light day should be from 13 to 17 hours), daylight lamps are used. The duration of a light day less than 11 hours leads to the stoppage of oviposition.

8
A big role in laying eggs is played by bird feed. A balanced diet should be prepared. The protein content should be at least 21%. There is one important point: chickens need to ensure peace, not to be moved from place to place, since this can provoke a decline in egg production.
