    Feeding quail moringa leaves?

    I have a tree as well and I’ve been feeding the leaves to my bobwhites, they seem to love it. The coturnix are slower to try them out but it seems to me like they’re getting used to the taste. Let’s wait and see.

    Feeding quail moringa leaves?

    Anybody feed moringa leaves to their quails? Here’s an interesting study regarding eggs laying and hatching after feeding them moringa. https://res.mdpi.com/d_attachment/sustainability/sustainability-12-02463/article_deploy/sustainability-12-02463-v2.pdf

    How do I get my quail to lay?

    You can’t seriously expecting 4 females bobwhite to give you 1200 chicks by next spring are you? Even with coturnix that’s impossible. Please do your research, bobwhite are seasonal layer and they don’t lay as much as cotix.

    do quail eat your garden plants?

    Ha, I was thinking just like you on how wonderful it would be to keep quails in my garden. That was a huge mistake, I’ve tried everything from birds net, covers, off the ground planting box with bird nets cover on top. Nothing will stop them from eating all your plants and turning your garden...

    My Quail are dying

    If you’re just feeding them bird seeds and sunflower seeds only, that’s your problem there. Bobwhite requires high protein diet, at least 28%. I would switch out food immediately if I were you.

    Silver Gene

    I’ve had the very same thing, hatched some ssc eggs and some came out albino and bulging eyes. I also think because of inbreeding for the seller to sell these silver hatching eggs. I’ve read that you can cross silver to anything else and the offsprings should give you some silver and no defects.

    Why has my young japanese quail stopped growing?

    Pretty sure these are partially blind, they would peck at the food tray but often missed and eat little. One of them I have a huge bulging eye, I’m surprise it make it’s this far.

    Why has my young japanese quail stopped growing?

    I’ve got 3 albino looking quail with pinkish eyes, they were a hatch from some ssc eggs I ordered. They stopped growing around 3 weeks and stayed the same size since. The whole hatch are now at 8 weeks. I think genetic defects definitely played a hand in birds stunted growth.

    Need help diagnose death (may contain gory images)

    I’ll accept that as the cause of death. After doing some reading on the disease , the quail display most of the symptoms I observed. And I don’t doubt that the quail been living with the tumor for a few months
