HELP - quail eggs having a rough ride with auto turner
First time incubating, just put these eggs in this evening and watched the auto turner go for he first time - it was ROUGH! it spins them a just over a full rotation, so they all spin in weird ways and land at different angles. Is it better to just hatch them without turning? Unfortunately I... -

Egg
Yes they are still fairly young (hatched February). I only had one fully soft egg over a month ago. These brown don't seem particularly soft, but I use quail scissors to cut them open and haven't noticed a difference to the others, but I'll look a bit closer at that! Candling is a good idea too... -

Egg
Hello :) I have four hens (pharaoh coturnix) who I believe are all laying regularly now. I've noticed dramatic differences in egg colouration and texture - the ones with an almost solid brown covering are a bit rougher and less shiny that the speckled eggs. I have been assuming this is just... -

Colour morphs - where to find ?
Hi! I have a small cover of pharaoh quail, and I am hoping at some point to breed and/or add some other colours into the group. The breeder near me only has pharaoh. Any tips of sourcing other colours?? I'm in the Toronto region (Ontario, Canada). Willing to take eggs or chicks. Also in no rush... -

Beak Injury to male quail
So the underbite is just because the whole covering of his upper beak came off.... he didn't have the underbit before. What you can see of his upper beak now is faily soft and sensitive. The tip started bleeding as he was picking at his food, and his behaviour indicates it is sore. I have seen... -

Beak Injury to male quail
It doesn't look too bad - to be honest I might not have noticed anything was wrong with the beak if I hadn't seen the piece come off. It was just barely attached to the centre of the cere when I noticed, and it came off as I was investigating further. -

Beak Injury to male quail
My male quail (few months old) has been kept separate from the hens after a head injury. I'm uncertain if the girls inflicted the injury or if he injured it himself when spooked by something. He was healing well from that injury, but has now managed to break the sheath of this top beak off... -

Winter and Quail - MN COLD winter! (-30 to -50 F)
Curious what you ended up doing. Any advice for ground keeping in the winter after this past season? I have a few quail now in a ground pen. I'm in southern Ontario, so we get cold temps but not THAT cold. This past winter was particularly mild. Down to -20 C (-4 F) maybe for a few days... -

"Chicken Health" All in One - product review?
Has anyone used this product with their quail? I haven't been able to find Sav-a-Chick Brand electrolytes or probiotics near me, but came across this. Any thoughts? Just trying to help my quail chicks (almost 4 weeks) with occasionally less than ideal poops. Nothing crazy that I'm... -

New to Quail - Poop Analysis
Ok thank you. Can you explain why mealworms is a problem at a younger age? I had tried to look up when they are appropriate previously and couldn't find a clear answer. Any suggestions for appropriate treats at this age? Hoping to keep socializing them.
