Instruction
1. Get or make a small-sized household incubator. The young growth on farms is removed by an artificial incubation as the cultivated quails lost a nasizhivaniye instinct. Structures of industrial production, as a rule, are too big for needs of amateur poultry breeders. The self-made incubator in this case is more preferable. It is not difficult to make it. The cardboard packing-case, an old beehive or the unnecessary case of the failed fridge will be suitable for this purpose. There are many designs of self-made incubators. It is rather simple to find them.
2. Just hatched will cut place in in advance prepared cardboard or plywood box. Usual parcel quite will be suitable for the small brood numbering 20-30 heads. For 100 will cut its sizes have to be not less than 30kh30sm. Lay boxes white paper. Over it fix a grid with a size of cells 5kh5mm. It will allow to prevent "twine" - a razjezzhaniye of legs at just hatched baby birds. Change paper in process of pollution. It is possible to use also small bird's cages or terrariums.
3. Provide observance of temperature condition as the young growth is very sensitive to temperature changes. It has to be indoors dry and warm – 27-28 degrees. To seven-day age apply heating. For this purpose divide a cage a mesh partition. In one its half establish TENy from incubators or a lamp with reflectors. Temperature under the heater has to be 35-36 degrees. Provide intake of fresh air that, however, should not be followed by drafts.
4. Perepelyata begin to eat from the first hours of life. As they very quickly grow, forages with the high content of vitamins, mineral substances, a protein are required for them. You feed baby birds with the cottage cheese poured by crackers, chopped egg, cut greens, sterns for young growth.
5. Pay attention to lighting. The first 7 days it has to be round-the-clock. Then it is weekly reduced by 3 hours and to half-month age it happens till 12 o'clock in day.
6. If you do not want to be engaged with own hand in removal will cut, get young growth in any farm. For cultivation select the mobile, strong standing on the feet baby birds. For transportation prepare cardboard or plywood boxes. Make in them air vents. To transport will cut about 80-100 heads in each box are possible.
