Instruction
1. If to breed quails not for sale, and for private use, then it can be done even in city apartments. Their contents requires a usual cage for parrots. In care for quails everything is quite simple. Only observance of the temperature and light condition is necessary. Perepelyat is not transferred by falls of temperature. Cooling can lead to their death.
2. Feeding and keeping of quails does not make difficulties. It is not necessary to put a cage with quails at a window. They are very sensitive to light. And flying by a bird, cause a stress in quails. They can begin to peck each other or just to cease to rush.
3. If you decided to breed these birds on meat, then it is necessary to know that growth at them comes to an end by 2-3 months of life. Eggs of a quail begin to be laid from 2 months. These qualities of quails, give the chance to be engaged in their cultivation as business.
4. The forage for quails has to be balanced. An indispensable condition — the maintenance of a protein in a stern. As perepelyat very quickly grow, vitamins and mineral substances are necessary for them. In the first week of life they can give cottage cheese, cut greens and eggs. All products have to be small cut. In veterinary shops, special forages are on sale for will cut aged up to 10 days.
5. It is necessary to know that females of quails do not hatch out some egg in house conditions. Therefore it is necessary to buy an incubator. It is possible to get it in veterinary shop. Small-sized incubators will be suitable for house conditions, for example: "Station wagon", "Hen". Capacity of incubators is specified by amount of eggs. Quail eggs in these incubators holds in 6 times more. For poultry breeders in city apartments, such incubators seem too big. It is possible not to be spent for their purchase, and to make with own hands. But in self-made incubators it is necessary to install temperature generator.
6. The incubation period lasts 17 days. Hatch the perepelyat very quickly, on average in 5 hours. To grow up hatched will cut it is possible in a usual plywood box. But such conditions are suitable only for house cultivation. On a bottom of a box it is necessary to lay white paper. It is necessary to change it, as often as possible. Quails have to be kept clean. Also at the bottom of a box there have to be cells that legs did not part in different directions.
7. If transportation of eggs was about 300 km, most likely, the deductibility will be 50%. If are got 3-day the perepelyat, then it is necessary to think in advance of a cage with a forage and a drinking bowl. It is necessary to feed quails at once as they will be delivered. Power failures can strongly weaken them.
