Hey guys, I’ve been treating scaley leg mites with oil dips and recently a vitamin A & E cream for the past year or so and now the mites appear to have moved to one of my quails eyelids which I can’t treat with oils or creams :[ so I’m ready to use a medication because these mites HAVE TO GO...

Hey guys so it looks like out of the ten marked eggs I put under her (she was initially sitting on infertile ones), 5 hatched and 4 were see through when I candled them. 1 looked like it could be developed so I plopped it in my incubator just in case because she gave up sitting on them and...

I have three hens in my special pet group and I used to have them on hay, however the last time we got a bunch of bales, it was not soft but hard and stick like. :/ This led to some foot injuries in my quail because I had a shelf they would jump up and down from a zillion times a day, landing...

Hey there :) I had a coturnix quail who went broody last year in my aviary and ended up hatching several chicks and raising them for a few days until I feared she was losing interest so I took over. (First picture) This year, she hasn't been out to the aviary much but is mainly in a floor of a...

Hey guys! I think I should worm my quail, problem is I don't have access to Wazine so I'm using its apparent Canadian equivalent called Piperazine 52. It's a powder for roundworms that says for chickens: "Prepare medicated water by adding 400 g (1 pouch) of powder to 320 L of water" Which I've...

Hello, thanks for reading this, we have five girls, one of them we noticed some feather loss around her rear (just the down feathers?) and thought it was possibly a moult - then we noticed white spots on her "ear" areas on her red comb. From what I've looking up it looks like fungus? We checked...

Hello! My four hens (pet group) were hatched later in the season but they're indoors for the winter so they've started laying. I have 2 steady hens that started laying perfect eggs about a month ago. A few weeks ago I was finding eggs that weren't fully formed, paper thin shell or no shell at...

Hey guys! Looking for some advice, I have a covey of four Coturnix quail who are just a few months old in different stages of molts. They're in a breezeway with some ratty old windows that I open on nice days - they shiver sometimes lately but still dust bathe, stretch out and flap around...

Hey guys :) I currently have had my quail on hay (except for the aviary where it's earth) but I'm looking for something more absorbent since these last few bales have been very straw like. Wire floors are not an option. I was wondering if you could share your opinions and experiences on keeping...

This is too adorable - some of my quail I refer to as "lap quail" because they just adore being pet - This one is named Pengu and it's ridiculous haha! He literally rubs his head and body into the pet

I have a broody Coturnix quail that hatched 6/13 eggs so far - she's back on the nest possibly to hatch more eggs! My question is - I've hatched and raised chicks without a momma quail, is there anything specific I should be doing/watching out for with her? there's a video Some feet...

Ahhhh I didn't think they would come today since she spent a lot of time off the best due to other quail drama but there are five babies healthy and dry running around her!!! She seems to make the same sound the male quail do when they tidbit for the girls (just like a rooster does for a...

Hey guys :) I have four Coturnix quail in a 6x6 planted aviary. There is one male and three females and one hen went broody a few days ago, it was cute she sat on five eggs and today has 11.... She really can't fit another So everything was fine in the evening, she was sitting at the sun went...

Hey guys :) I really apologize if this isn't the proper place to post this question - I have seen similar inquiries here and somehow I can't figure out how to post in the BST section?? I'm in Canada, Niagara Falls and looking for hopefully someone local (I know it's a long shot!) and/or...

Hey guys! New to eggs, I bought some and a few of them have some weird "calcium pimples"? Was wondering exactly what it was in case it indicated a nutrition deficiency, sickness, etc. as I also bought some adults that produced the eggs - unfortunately they're in pretty bad condition from being...

Hello! Some plants are poisonous to birds but harmless to humans - I was wondering if anybody knew anything about euthanizing quail with herbs? Perhaps in their drinking water? For example, I read something (not verified) about valerin where a few drops would cause the bird to have a painless...

Hello! Our chickens started laying in a blanket of snow early January and have been giving us an egg every day since... We cracked an egg open for breakfast and found this... It's worm shaped but was hoping it was a meat spot or something else because our girls are very healthy and we have been...

My friend and I googled chicken costumes yesterday for laughs and we came across one wearing this fluffy white and baby blue stuffed shark along it's body, the chicken looked pretty comfortable, I believe it was pecking at the ground which gives the full shark effect with the head down, lol...

LOL... I came across this video and couldn't help thinking that my favorite chick, RuPaul, is going to grow up to be a star just like this bird ;P *cue disco ball lol!* It's so silly!! It made me smile so I wanted to share :D

Hey guys, I'm sorry if this gets asked a lot, I couldn't find a clear answer when looking online, I live in Ontario, Canada and I'm looking to paint or stain my new aviary (yay) that the chickens will eventually hang out in (getting five red sexlinks tomorrow!!) but want to make sure it's not...
