90+ Extras Fresh Butler Bobwhite Quail Hatching Eggs
My butlers are laying well and fertility has been checked. I have about 200 birds in a colony cage with a ratio of 2 hens / 1 rooster. All birds are from 2009 hatch with several different bloodlines.
All birds are raised on wire and eggs are gathered at least twice daily.
When eggs are received it helps to let eggs set at room temperature overnight before placing into incubator.
Circulated Air incubators: 99 3/4 degrees F; 84 to 86 degrees F wet bulb, reduce during last week of incubation.
Pale buff to white with moderate pink/brown spots
Lower humidity than two above species, wet bulb of 83 F; hens will lay several clutches in captivity, reports of 50 eggs per hen are not uncommon.
Pale Buff to cream, light spotting.
Humidity: 82 to 84 degrees F wet bulb.
Humidity as in Scaled; chicks may not start eating on their own. Also known as Benson or Douglas Quail.
Keep wet bulb at 82 degrees F; chicks will need help to learn to eat.
Pale buff to cream, no spotting
Wet Bulb of 82 to 84 degrees F.
Very tiny chicks, can slip through 1/2 inch hardware cloth; better known as the Button Quail.

The Butlers are the largest of the Bobwhite quail and they are much easier to raise than Northern. They grow at a much faster rate. Butlers will weight 10-12 ounces at around six weeks; when mature 16-22 ounces. When the Butlers are around 4 to 4 1/2 months old we pull out our Breeders, they weigh 14 to 15 ounces.
