Midlandquails news:
WE ARE MOVING, SO WE HAVE DECIDED TO STOP TRADING UNTIL 2012, WHILE WE GET SETTLED IN AND REPLENISH STOCKS
We have been going from strength to strength with lots of new customers and plenty of return customers too. Many thanks to everyone.
Due to the popularity and demand for our eggs recently (especially the rarer breeds), coupled with the fact the we are only a small breeder, compared to other breeders, we are now moving premises to make life a bit easier. Therefore, we have decided to stop trading to the general public for the rest of year, until we can get settled in properly..
PLEASE NOTE, THAT WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING ANY ORDERS FROM JULY 2011 ONWARDS. ALL EXISTING ORDERS WILL BE FULFILLED DURING AUG 2011
Thanks for visiting, come back in 2012

Chinese Painted Quail and a £2 coin
This 1 day old Chinese Painted Quail chick (right), which isn't much bigger than a £2 coin and it's not surprising when you see the size of the egg it comes out of.

Feature
As you have probably guessed, we must have at least one incubator to hatch our own eggs. Well here at Midlandquails.co.uk we've got four incubators in total, which are constantly on the go. We have 3 varieties of Brinsea incubators and a Hovabator, plus an automatic humidifier.
All of these ensure something is hatching every week.
If you are looking to purchase an incubator, then we can recommend theincubatorshop.co.uk who have supplied invaluable advice, as well as our incubators. Don't forget to mention midlandquails.co.uk, if you call them, ask for Tony

Hatch rate advice
Beware of claims of 100% hatch rates. Although this happens, it is rarely consistent. Many factors can influence the actual hatch rate you
will achieve, type of breed, temperature, humidity, postal handling, cleanliness, number
of eggs incubated and fertility to name a few.
Having one successful hatch
doesn't guarantee another. Over many hatchings using our Hovabator incubator, we believe a 60 to 80% hatch rate is more the norm. The summer months produce the best hatch rates
After a hatch, we suggest you check any unsuccessful hatchings, to
try and identify if there was any underlying cause or issue
associated with any poor hatch rate you may have had. This can be done by simply opening any unhatched eggs and inspecting the contents. But, please don't do anything until
you are 100% sure all activity has finished. Be warned, this can be a smelly exercise.
Doing this, can show potential causes as being, infertile quail eggs, wrong temperature, wrong humidity etc. and possibly go towards improving your next hatch.
