⚠️This thread is about Birds and Birds only.⚠️ How big should a Coturnix male's balls be? I have a male called sugar and his are huge. You can see them when he walks and they touch the ground when he goes down the ramps. He mates around every 2 minutes. Is this ok, how big should they be...

I have two baby quail, one being 3 days old and the other only 1 day old. I integrated them slowly, putting them in front of each other with a clear barrier in-between, letting them run around in my room together, etc. They are very similar in size and both imprinted on me. The older quail...

The 'loaf' is a fascinating position that many animals will sit in, having their limbs tucked in and their head out. The end result being very similar to a loaf of bread. 🍞 Loafs can come in many forms, whether it be a cat, a fluffy dog or even a ground-dwelling bird like chickens. :D I have...

This is my Coturnix quail, George, who had foam in her eye this morning. I keep wiping it away with a soft cloth wet with warm water but this is the third time I'm wiping it and it has come back. I've seen this happen before when horses get dirt or something in their eye. I think that is what...

I have a 6 week old German Pastel male in Australia and I'm not sure if I should sell it or just give it away like I usually do. How much is one worth in Australia?

I recently hatched a batch of Coturnix quail and was able to identify the colours on most of them, but these two have me stumped. This baby is Acorn. I would say she is a silver, except silvers usually don't look silver when they hatch, and my silver quail used to look very different when she...

I know that some people have rooster flocks for their chickens, but would it work with quail? I'm just curious.

I feel terrible, I've done this before but not to this extent. I just dropped a developing quail egg. I sealed it up with clear nail polish, but there's a dent in the aircell end of the egg. The membrane wasn't broken and there is no blood. Before dropping it the baby was moving around and had...

I have two baby quail, Chippy and Aerlia, who turn 2 weeks old on Christmas day. I need help identifying colours. The pictures don't do much because of the different lighting, but Chippy is growing in white feathers with light brown bits at the end and Aerlia has really pretty feathers and...

I have a broody quail and I really want to deep clean the cage without disturbing her broodiness. I wouldn't remove the nest or properly scrub stuff, I would just remove the bedding and swap it as well as wiping down the fake plants. Can I do this without stopping her from being broody? How...

One of my quail, George, is broody. She had been test sitting the last few days but now I think she is actually broody. She is sitting on 12 eggs, now what? She lives in a big cage but not a big enough one for her to escape the other birds. I've got a bad male too female ratio because I had one...

Last night while I was at my formal one of my baby quail, Aerlia, escaped her cage while looking for me. She fell straight down the crack behind a shelf the cage was on and got stuck in a wierd position, and I'm not sure for how long she was down there. She doesn't seem to be in pain, and is...

@PicChick make a realistic picture of a mama Coturnix quail dressed up as Santa with her chicks following her dressed as elves

How do I raise two Coturnix chicks to be friendly? They are 1 day old now and I am taking them home Wednesday. One of them has already kind of imprinted on me, the other is a bit less but still follows my hand. How can I raise them to be friendly? Any tips? I've got the whole holidays to spend...

I've got a funny problem whenever I submit school assignments, and it's happened a few times before. My writing style is similar to ChatGPT, and I've almost gotten in huge trouble multiple times for it. ChatGPT uses online essays to teach itself how to write reports, articles and essays along...

I have a pest problem, if my little sisters count as pests. I've tried to ask my mum to tell them to stay away from the quail cage, but they don't listen! The quail are positioned in a large cage outside my room, because my mum didn't want it in my room, but this means the entrance to one of my...

How do I bond with a baby quail? This is very important for this chick. I lost my beloved female Coturnix quail, Hercules, two days ago due to bumblefoot. She was the first quail I ever hatched and she hatched in my hands. I'm very upset about it as she was only 6 months old. The last egg she...

Does anyone know how hatcheries sex their chicks the day after they hatch? Is this accurate?

There's a weird growth on my female Coturnix Quail's foot. She is struggling to stand on it and is hopping to get around. She had something wrong with her foot about 7 weeks before, there was a sore on her foot and it tore kind of and it was bleeding alot. It was spurting, so there was...
