    Requirements for raising pheasants

    How much square footage per bird is required and how tall should it be? Are they a neck break danger from flying? Thanks!

    Gambel quail question

    Right, I understand. With Cots I usually turn the heat off at 3 weeks and they are outside. At some point the chicks don’t need it. This is my first time with Gambel’s so I’m wondering how long they need the heat source.

    Eggs & Bumblefoot

    Thank you. My wife has successfully treated our chickens, and attempted a few times on the quail with mixed results... they are so much smaller. This one is the worst I’ve seen. Thanks for letting me know she can lay edible eggs though! :)

    Eggs & Bumblefoot

    Okay thank you. I do have one that I think needs to be put down. She is having a very hard time walking and her foot looks very red, not putting weight on it etc. Makes me nervous because I don’t know what egg is hers!

    Eggs & Bumblefoot

    Simple question: Can eating the eggs of a quail with bumblefoot cause any risk/sickness to humans? Thank you, Dave

    Should I brood Gambel's Quail chicks in Arizona?

    Yeah I put my Coturnix outside with a lamp at 10 days. But Gambels I’m new at. Do they need a heat lamp for 8 weeks?

    Should I brood Gambel's Quail chicks in Arizona?

    Are you saying that Gambels need to be under a heat lamp for 8 weeks? I’m in over my head then! I have Cots hatching that are going to need the brooder! 8 weeks even when it’s warm? It’s mid 60’s at night here in SoCal.

    Coturnix Colors that can be Feather Sexed?

    Hi Friends, I’m looking to expand from my Jumbo Pharaoh Browns but I’m not patient enough to vent sex. Could you all tell me what color variants are able to be feather sexed like the browns? Much appreciated! Dave

    Ideas to move extra boys?

    I’m a backyard Coturnix hobbyist and of course I have no problem selling my hens the second I can feather sex them. But the boys... I have so many. I know I know... they are tasty, cull and freezer them. Trouble is, I don’t really have the space to keep them until they are mature enough to...

    Putting coturnix quail outside questions

    I put my last hatch (26 birds) outside in a partially enclosed brooder, cardboard bottom, with two 100w heat lamps when they were 1 1/2 weeks old. I am in Southern California and it was during a fairly cold (51 degree) evening their first three days outside. They all survived. I think as long as...
