I can always switch it up. I wasn't sure their health when I got them.

Poor darlings! I'll definitely be building them a cage where they can see one another but not touch. I wouldn't want that at all.

Awww, sadly I can only have the 2 per agreement with the Game Warden. So I guess I could always build a cage where they can see one another but not be able to mate.

Thank you! I'll be keeping an eye on it for changes. What are some good options to keep them from over breeding if they are male and female? Do I put fake eggs in like with chickens when the female lays?

Here are the pics!

I'd never call anyone names, please don't worry! Thank you for the advice! I'll be sure to clean their cage a lot and I have chickens and ducks as well outside, I use oregano and thyme dried herbs to help keep down the smell. I'll check and see if it's safe to use with the quails.

Thank you! I have a gecko that I feed a mix of live and dried mill worms so I can easily crush and mix the dried with the starter feed. Here the game feed is very costly but I was hoping with only 2 they wouldn't eat through a 20lb bag too quickly. They're so silly already, they love to run...

I got my first ever Quails and I'm so excited! I've read things online about them but since they're going to be inside birds I figured I'd better get some info from some owners. Right now there is only 2 and not getting any more. They're inside because in my town I have to have a license but...

No worries, we will. We almost got the mom fixed too but she was so hard to trap and then boom babies. We got her sister and brother fixed though. So now we have her she can't get away and we will fix her. As much as I love babies of every kind we just got the stray cats down to 2 breeding...

Once they're old enough momma is getting fixed and they'll be going to some friends and family that already are begging for them. We're very lucky that we have such a huge family and everyone is an animal lover of some kind. Yet I am so in love with the dark grey baby boy that we might end up...

Thank you everyone! We moved the mother cat and kittens to the front porch after my husband built her a cute coop. The babies are doing great and mom seems to mainly want them in the fenced part of the coop.

He's a very sweet rooster for sure and we have had some mean ones in the past. If we could block the chickens from seeing the mother cat and kittens do you think he'll stop trying to steal them? Our back porch is very shady and cool during the day and has a good amount of light at night and...

To our happy surprise one of the stray cats we care for had kittens on our back porch. We think this is wonderful as she's now more friendly and we love to watch kittens grow. Next to where she had them on the ground is the Nursery coop with my hen and her 8 chicks. Ivory our hen doesn't seem...

Update: Sadly before we could move the hens and eggs 3 of them had hatched. It was horrifying as the non brooding hens killed all of chicks. They had hatched while we weren't home and when we got back the brooding hens were screaming as the other hens ran around with the dead chicks. My...

Thank you for the advice! We're in the middle of building a larger coop and run but rain has been holding us back. I think I'll order a premade coop and run and move the hens and chicks in there.
