    Green poops?

    I'm keeping the temperature between 80 and 85F, is that appropriate for three week old Gambels?

    Green poops?

    @TwoCrows what do you mean by "chilling"?

    Green poops?

    We're having some green diarrhea from our three week old quail this morning and I don't know why. Our quail's diet hasn't changed in the past week. What's causing this?

    Chick with diarrhea once a day??

    Okay so here's what her poops are looking like (except in the morning they are double this size and twice as frequent, which seems a little outrageous for a two week old quail): The picture is a little hard to make out but it's pretty much all liquid. This afternoon she's dropped a couple of...

    Chick with diarrhea once a day??

    I'll get a picture next time I see it, I've been cleaning it up to keep her from eating it.

    Chick with diarrhea once a day??

    It smells the same as usual but it's a much lighter brown than usual, a lot closer to the color of her food than the solids are and it's almost completely liquid

    Chick with diarrhea once a day??

    My quail chick has been having diarrhea once or twice every morning but then has solid poops the rest of the day. It's behavior is still normal and energetic, no visible symptoms of anything being wrong, but this is also my first quail and I only have one, so I don't have much to compare to...

    Gambel Quail stages of life?

    We are raising our first gambel quail right now and it's about a week and a half old. We've been doing a lot of research on what we need to do to keep it strong and healthy and so far so good, but we really don't know what to expect from the bird. What age will we know the sex? What age will it...

    Lone quail

    I have one lone quail chick and I can tell it's lonely during the day when I'm not right there with it. I put a mirror and a feather duster in the brooder with it and it seems to help a little, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do to make it more comfortable when I can't be there...

    Advice for raising gambel quail?

    Thank you so much! I'll see if I can find either of those nearby. Are there any foods that I need to avoid giving to my quail? And at about what age/size will I be able to stop blending the seed with water?

    Advice for raising gambel quail?

    @TwoCrows do you have a suggested brand or type of gamebird seed, or are they pretty much all the same?

    Advice for raising gambel quail?

    A few days ago we found a lost little quail chick outside our front door without any family in site. We left it alone for hours hoping that it's mama would come back and get it, but at the end of the day when mama bird hadn't showed up and the chick was still in the entry way of the house we...
