baby quail

Hi I have a single quail about weeks old he’s very small any help

Just had a quail chick hatch that needs separation from the others, and I'm not sure what to do in terms of heating. The only two heat lamps I have are either way too hot or too cold. Does anyone know how I could cool down the hot one or what else I can get? I can't afford another heating plate...

Cute baby quail ♥️ oldest to newest, names are George, Spot and Hercules. The super cute baby ones are all videos so it's from 3 days old and up.

What can I give to my baby jumbo coturnix quail to compliment chicken starter seed? I wasn’t aware that they needed more than chicken chicks and only just read that they need more. Do they actually need more, or are they ok as is?

They run into my hand and do this.

Today I'm going to change the bedding in the brooder and clean it but I was wondering if it was safe to use Feline Fresh Pellet and mix it with pine shavings? It claims that it's "100% pure, southern yellow pine pellets." I've read on here that some users have mixed it with their chicken chicks'...

Woke up to these 3 beauties ... looks like the printer was low on ink as each one gets a little lighter 😂 Theyve all got yellow wings tho so am I right in thinking they're redbreasted or redbreasted pieds? Or are they Darths? The darkest one is almost black ❤

My baby quail got wet during the night and in the morning was very cold, couldn't stand and barely opened her eyes, but at least she was breathing... Before i go on, a day ago she was just as weak when i woke up, but not cold, her crop was pretty much empty and i somehow saved her after watching...

I’ve got a Gambel’s quail here, maybe 2 days old. It was in my yard brought by a local outdoor cat so I’ve got no idea where it came from and we haven’t seen any quail wandering around our neighborhood at all these past few months. I went to a nearby nature center (it’s like 5 minutes away by...

Last night my sweet dog was so considerate to bring us a baby quail. Little chick was so spooked at first and we helped treat it for shock and it seems to have recovered. It wasn't hurt at all just a little slobbery. We set it up in a small tote last night with wood shaving bedding since we had...

My baby quail was tiny and weak the moment i got him. (bought him and his sister from wilco) i was scared he wasn’t going to make it but he got stronger day by day and started growing very slowly. he has always been smaller than his sister and has noticeably messier feathers than her. I believe...

Since I had to sadly giveaway my pet quail pepper because he could’ve killed My female Oak twice my two females feel stressed and aren’t the same so am thinking of getting a new quail chick and I plan on putting that quail in the same pen The second quail (Lilith) is also female sooo is it okay...

Hi there I have a 6 day old quail that's worrying me. It's wings are looking like there's bone showing and I have no idea what's causing it. It's brooder box is the right temps etc. Has the right food with additional protein mix. Fresh water multiple times a day etc. It's in its own brooder...

Hi all, I'd appreciate any advice anybody can give. I have 12 quail and they are 2 weeks old now. It has all been going fine but today I noticed some are not thriving. There are 4 in the flock who have stopped being able to walk. they are just lying down and sleeping and when I put them on their...

Im about to go freaking crazy those little dinosaurs are gonna make me insane Thier peeping is so loud that the neighbors complained about the peeps.. I cannot sleep they are 5 days old and my ears are not working properly..

As I learned in my last two hatches, these tiny monsters cannot be trusted alone for more than about five seconds. Maybe not even that. But this time around, I thought okay, I've got it, they should be pretty safe. I thought I had taken out everything they could possibly hurt themselves on...

Electric went out due to hurricane and expected to be out for some time. On day 17 of lockdown. So, with no warm bator and only one store bought egg with a chick inside to hatch, had to keep egg in my shirt....you know where as boobage cleavage is warm and when made delibrately humid, viola...

Hi everybody, I'm currently in the process of raising baby quail, and I was wondering if this food https://zoomed.com/natural-grassland-tortoise-food/ would be O.K. to feed them. I already have this, so I figured I may as well use it. It wouldn't be the only thing I give them to eat; it would...

Hello BYC family! I went to 4H yesterday and my leaders assistant surprised me with three baby quail! I have wanted quail for a while now and asked her to hatch me some (she offered first) but I had never heard back from her so I had no clue I was getting them! What should I know about quail...

Hi everyone, I hatched my first batch of coturnix quail eggs about 2 1/2 weeks ago and am wondering if you have any opinions on gender and color variety these babies might be. I have heard it is easy to sex them at or around three weeks (especially the pharaoh) typically due to their feathering...
