Yes my quail are free roam on the floor in an enclosed coop, i do now have a second quail showing signs of this, i have removed them from the other quail. I will definitly try VetRX, thank you!

Hello, i have a female gpc quail, she is about 4 months old and a few days ago i noticed her face is very swollen and she isn't active, she seems to want to stand in the water dish and sleep. She has no nasal drainage or sneezing and she is the only bird with this issue and i have her in the...

I am sorry you had a similar situation, i agree some birds are just born mean it just sucks it had to happen right before i finished the new area, they just hit maturity and are gaining personality aswell. I wanted to have a ratio of 1 to atleast 5 but it is my first hatch out and i can't choose...

Alright so i found out the issue, i do have 25 birds and about 8 are female and the rest are male. They are 2 months old and i was rushing to get this new area built before anything like this happened I did want to send in a bird to get checked but i had already buried them thinking it was just...

No i keep the food in the house during winter and when i feed them i change it out 2 times a day to keep it as clean as i can and same with water

Ya i agree i need to restart and i was shooting for a 1:5 ratio but the hatch out was not in my favor I did put in all the eggs i had left from them and by the time they hatch i will have the new area set up and hopefully it was just a stress issue and not a disease or anything I have them in my...

They were out there for a bit, i was extra careful with them since i never raised quail till this year but i have done turkey, chicken and duck just fine They showed no symptoms of anything besides it was getting warmer out and they were well acclimated so i took the heat lamp out and ir was 50⁰...

I feed them purina gamebird 30% protein that is recommended for quail and turkeys They have a set up on the ground in a temperary cage at the moment because im upgrading their hutch They have straw and all sides are blocked from wind and rain The temp here is 20-50⁰f and always have cleaned feed...

Thank you for this link they arent coughing, sneezing, they have good coordination, no discoloration, no nasal discharge, they might have swelling, no diarrhea exept when they are twitching about to die, and my other poultry hasn't caught it from them or anywhere in the yard free ranging

-WARNING ON IMAGES- I have an emergency, i lost i think 7 quail in the past 5 days, 3 were a month old and 4 were 2 months old 2 male 3 female and 2 unknown. They stopped laying eggs and all the females started losing alot of weight. They all got along no injuries or fights but i did have alot...

Ohh ok that makes more sense now. Thank you so much!

Thank you, all the information is very helpful. I did watch a few myshire/coturnix corner videos and definitly don't want to breed those together or ssc with ssc too much and cause problems. I will be selling eggs and birds to people in my small town nothing too crazy but trying to have it...

I just started working with quail this year and i am practicing the quail genetics but i can't figure out how the pastel gene works. Some people say it cannot be created and i heard some say it is made mostly of the fee gene with silver gene. I have a quail that im told is red range but how can...

Niceee! These will be fun to work with, thank you for the help.

I am new to quail and i just hatched an assortment of coturnix quail. I understand the basic colors but i hatched out 2 that i just can't figure out, does anyone have an idea on what these 2 may be? I am guessing the brown one is a pastel/tibetan/tux or a roux gene but it looks a bit like an oz...
