Maybe for storing eggs prior to setting in incubator, you could have an extra incubator that is not turned on (but it would contain a turner which is plugged in) and the turner could do all the egg turning while the eggs are stored there. Also, a person might be able to add a bit of sterilized water to the incubator troughs, which might help keep them from drying out while in storage.
Thank you. I had a funny experience trying to explain what an "egg bloom" was to my daughters orthodontist. He was fascinated when I told him my quail eggs were stored out of the refrigerator, hence me having to explain the bloom. lol
lol. It is hard for us as modern Americans to understand that not everything needs to be "sterile" and refrigerated. Try telling him that butter doesn't need to be refrigerated either and see what he says. :)
@@Slightlyrednecked Narr mate, you have helped me at start of my journey with goliath quail ansewring the questions i had, without me even asking and in 5-15 mins... i was messing up all over the place, serious... start of my spring astronomicaly today. Suppsed to be 5 seasons in Australia... cause of pommys we only have 4, i wish all the best mate, cant thank you enought tbh. Legend statis.
Also had them free ranging my small yard... my father came over today... first time in over a year i found out they can fly.... HAHAHAHA ahhh dear... went on a quail round up over my neighbours yards...
I have used a chicken egg turner before and it worked just fine. Just can't fit as many eggs in the incubator with them as you can with the quail egg turner.
If a quail egg has been sitting on my counter top for awhile, and I keep the inside of my house around 72 degrees, when I do a float test and some float, does that mean they’re necessarily bad? Because I cracked one that floated, and it didn’t smell when I cracked it open
As long as you are ordering from a reputable supplier and don't let the eggs just sit outside in freezing temps once they are delivered, it is fine. The hard part is definitely the delivery. If you are like me, I work all day so can't be home to get the delivery. If the weather is freezing on delivery day I am kind of out of luck. I would just wait for a week were the forecast looks favorable and then order if it were me. Hope that helps.
i want to ask why are you spraying the eggs with a listerine mixer when the eggs have a natural barrier for the egg protection to me its a waste of money me i don't spray mines i incubate them as is and always had decent hatch rates
Hi Chris. Are the eggmakers and the meatmakers two varities from the same species? Over here (Sweden) I havent heard of these, seems like we only have the Japaneese Jumbo Quail here. Have you made a video about the differences between eggmakers and meatmakers?
I have talked about the difference between the Pharoah (egg makers) and Meat Makers in the past (not much of a difference really). They are both just two varieties of Coturnix quail. They won't be significantly different than a Jumbo Japanese quail (also a Coturnix quail). I hope that makes sense.
Don't wash them but use what? Can you write it down please. I'm not English speaker it was hard to understand the exact words. Did you said wash them with Alcohol ?
If you are saving them to incubate them use Isopropyl Alcohol mixed 50% with water in a spray bottle and mist them. You can also use gold Listerine mixed with water or Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with water. I hope that helps.
yes, There is actually some pretty good evidence that eating them raw provides some very good health benefits and can treat a number of different ailments.
Our quail have been a disappointment. From birds that attack one another to infertile eggs, to a weasel attack, we are not going to continue. We had 1 male for 4 females.
I send everyone that I sell anything quail to, to your channel Chris. I appreciate your channel, and all of the information you teach on quail.
Thank you so much.

Opps!! pressed Like before watching the movie, im sure the contents are good (as always)
lol. Thanks for "liking" it though. :)
Chris is great. I learned a lot from him. Keep up the good work brother.
Have you ever tried water glassing?
You are a champ mate. I m doing well in quail farming just bcoz of u
Where are you from bro? If nearby delhi then can help me
I want to exchange 3/4 males for females
Good info. We always have excess of eggs and by the 2 week mark I take the eggs and hard boil them to then have them as a treat or place on salads...
That is a great way to use up extra eggs. We do that a lot too.
Legend! i have created my own issues running my eggs straight to my incubator. Thank for Ironing that out.
Thank you for watching. I am glad you found it helpful.

can chicken egg turner can be used for quail eggs?(Little giant egg turner) does it effect hatch rate? appreciate your knowledgeable videos :)

Love your channel and always look forward to your videos!
Thank you so much.
What can I do to keep quail eggs fresh
Thank you from central Texas
I thought of putting a light big électrique zapper and collecting dead bugs would that feed quails?
Thanx for the information.... Is it ok to order eggs I want to hatch in the winter or should I wait for the spring and better weather?

Hi ,what solar light can I buy to illuminate my quail during night ,there is one that turn on after sun down ?thanks,for your video .
Here is a link to my amazon shop. It has the one I use listed in it. www.amazon.com/shop/slightlyrednecked
How do you deal with heavy blowing snow if it blows in the cages????
I don't have a problem with that. With wire floors, the snow doesn't pile up and the sandbox side is enclosed so it doesn't gather snow.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
One question have you ever had egg develop without incubating
Good job 👍🏾
i want to ask why are you spraying the eggs with a listerine mixer when the eggs have a natural barrier for the egg protection to me its a waste of money me i don't spray mines i incubate them as is and always had decent hatch rates
Thank you so much. You have been so helpful.
Thanks, Chris, good info
Thank you for watching.
Love the set up
Thank you.

@@Slightlyrednecked Ok I understand. saw the video when you wheigd them eggs, informative as always.
Great video, thank you so much...👍🏼🙏👍🏼
Can you water glass quail eggs with lime in the same way as chicken eggs?
I haven't tried it but theoretically it should work.
Doesn't it cause hot spots on your dog when he eats quail poop?
Don't wash them but use what? Can you write it down please. I'm not English speaker it was hard to understand the exact words. Did you said wash them with Alcohol ?
If you are saving them to incubate them use Isopropyl Alcohol mixed 50% with water in a spray bottle and mist them. You can also use gold Listerine mixed with water or Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with water. I hope that helps.
@@Slightlyrednecked thank you very much..
Please help me understand: 50 percent with water does that mean half water and half listerine?
Yes ma'am.. it does.
Can I eat the quail eggs raw?
yes, There is actually some pretty good evidence that eating them raw provides some very good health benefits and can treat a number of different ailments.
@@Slightlyrednecked thank you for responding, I love eating raw quail egg especially at sushi restaurants cracked on top of salmon roe
You must save a lot on dog food , seeing as your dog seems to enjoy the quail turds
Lmaooo
Your dog was eating quail poo! YUCK!
I know. I don't know why dogs love to do that. Disgusting.
My dogs eat my rabbits poop it’s so weird but I guess you’re not the only one !!
Have you ever tried it?
Please give proper instructions for eggs to be stored by waterglassing them. Thank you.
Our quail have been a disappointment. From birds that attack one another to infertile eggs, to a weasel attack, we are not going to continue. We had 1 male for 4 females.
I am so sorry to hear that. Sounds like you had a rough time for sure.
