    Need to cheer up my Hubby.. So I am looking for some Gambel's Quail.. Eggs or birds..

    I am looking to find some Gambel's quail either eggs or birds 1year old or less. My husband is very depressed due to an unfortunate incident where a dog got into the yard, broke into the coturnix cages, and killed nearly 100 of his quail. They are his babies and he is just crushed. he has always...

    Giving the quail "treats"

    apparently once the Bob White quail are 16 weeks old, they no longer like treats.. all the treats we give them they refuse, even their favorite- scrambled eggs... (well all treats except crickets and mealworms..those they still like) Anyone else have their birds decide they no longer like the...

    LOCKDOWN! Let the hatching begin

    I HATE waiting!! These guys started hatching early on day 18, so right on time. Our last hatch started late on day 16 and continued through day 17. You can never tell exactly what day they will start hatching... Gets frustrating waiting to see when they will hatch, and waiting on the last few is...

    LOCKDOWN! Let the hatching begin

    So all said and done we have 110 babies that made it out of their shells and (so far) survived.. I am a little concerned with some issues we have with some of them and wonder what we can do to help the chicks improve and be healthy. We had several that died during hatch or in their shells with...

    LOCKDOWN! Let the hatching begin

    You can hear them "peep" from inside the eggs!! We have 9 eggs left to hatch and I can either hear them moving in there, or peeping.. There were 22 eggs that were either not formed, or had died for some reason along the way... If the remaining 9 hatch then we will have 111 babies!! ...

    LOCKDOWN! Let the hatching begin

    Good Luck with your hatch as well... If you do think you would like more eggs, let me know. The last lady I ordered from did the BEST job on packing and shipping!! And I also have a great place to get Bob White eggs with excellent shipping/packing. Both were from Ebay, but I kept their info and...

    LOCKDOWN! Let the hatching begin

    To date this will be the largest hatch we have had. We have tried multiple times to have a large hatch, but due to circumstances beyond our control (mostly USPS) we have never had more than 50 eggs in the incubator at one time. This time, we had a total of 250 eggs shipped. Of those 78 were...

    Giving the quail "treats"

    I wanted to do that.. but had heard that mealworms were hard to raise and super smelly... lol I guess they couldn't be more smelly than quail though.. How did you set up to raise them, and are they reproducing well?? Are they easy to clean up after? How often do you clean their container? Guess...

    What are the odds??

    So looking at these 7, would you say they are all Tibetan? We think they are all Tibetan based on photos we have seen and descriptions but were not 100% sure.. Tried to get good shot of them all at the same time.. But not sure if you can with these photos or not.. The one that is at the bottom...

    Changing Quail feed for egg layers?

    OH MY GOODNESS - The things they will eat!!! My husband is really the "treat" king.. He loves the fact that the quail start to recognize him and will come to the cage door waiting for him to give them something. Our quail have eaten so many different things now its hard to keep track. Sometimes...
