Instruction

1. It is not difficult to organize independent cultivation of quails rather, the main thing to create them necessary conditions for growth and reproduction. For stable receiving eggs it is better to choose breeds with the raised yaytsenoskost. Best of all the smokingovy egg breed, blue marble, white English, Manchurian golden will approach. If main objective of cultivation is receiving quail meat, then meat breeds, for example, the Pharaoh will be more preferable.

2. It is the best of all to support birds in special cages which can be established both in the standard city apartment, and in owner-occupied dwelling. At the same time it is important that stable air temperature not less than 13-16 degrees was indoors maintained and there were no drafts. At sharp fall of temperature of quail stop rushing and can ache from overcooling.

3. The floor of cages has to be covered by laying from sawdust or hay. It is important point as, digging in friable laying in search of forage, birds move, warm up and it favorably affects their health and yaytsenoskost.

4. In warm season of quails it is possible to replace to open open-air cages on the street. However in this case it is necessary to watch closely weather patterns and lack of contacts of domestic quails with wild birds who can become carriers of diseases.

5. The main feature and complexity of cultivation of quails is that they very sensitively react to water quality and forages. Therefore water in drinking bowls has to be updated constantly to avoid processes of stagnation and pollution. It is the best of all to use the automatic drinking bowls providing constant water circulation. It is important to remember that from drinking bowls not only adult individuals, but also baby birds drink. Therefore the height of water in drinking bowl needs to be adjusted up to the safe height. The forage needs to be got only high-quality and in addition to pour in it useful substances and mineral additives: fish meal, chalk, the ground sinks.

6. Cleaning of cages and the open-air cage should be carried out regularly, deleting dung and the become soiled laying from cages. Besides, in each cage there have to be containers with sand which too periodically is required to be changed. Quails get rid of external parasites, taking sand baths therefore sand always has to remain clean and small.

7. Removal of young growth requires special incubator as quails are a little adapted for incubation of eggs. But if there is no opportunity to buy this device or there is no wish to be engaged in it, it is possible just to get every time of young birds from producers. In this case no special equipment is required and care for birds even more will become simpler.
