    twitching quail?

    his mouth is closed when he does this. He was the first to have dust baths in the sand when I switched it in. I thought he really liked the sand. Are there any health concerns related to quail twitching a lot?

    HELP! Blood on foot

    The cage floor only has pine shavings and hardware cloth, so I don't think she stepped on anything. Maybe it was the hardware cloth that irritated her feet.

    Quail feed pellet form

    My quails are about one month old. The crude protein content for the pellets is 17%. I am supplementing more protein by giving them dried mealworms, which has 50% crude protein. Maybe I'll ask my mom for her old juice blender and see if I can grind up the pellets a bit. The blender needs a...

    Hello, when I purchased my 5 coturnix quails, I was given a bag of turkey feed in pellet form. The pellets are pretty big, some almost 1cm x 0.5cm.
