Texas Kiki is right. Too high humidity can cause drowning. Since then i have done a dry hatch no water first 14 days. Then humidity to 55-65% at lockdown. Before i was getting a lot of pipped drown chicks. What happens is a lot of water floods the air sack. And when they internally pip they get...

What diseases are common with quails?

I have a quail the same color as that. Isnt that a mix of Pharaoh and Texas A&M?
He is also aggressive. Cause he attacks any males i put with him. So he has 6 hens to himself now. and the other 2 males are in the other cage with 9 hens.

Thanks for the advice. What i had to do last time. Was seperate them and see who lays the eggs. But with 22 birds left that will be hard. Last time i only had 5-10 birds to sort through. I guess installing a video system might be the better option.
The problem i have with vent sexing sometimes...
