    After flight: Drooping one side wing, unable to retract fully. Visibility vibrating and seems to be in discomfort/pain?

    no they are coturnix, but thankfully, she seems to be OK now. maybe just strained muscle? weird

    After flight: Drooping one side wing, unable to retract fully. Visibility vibrating and seems to be in discomfort/pain?

    my fully grown (9 months) quails dont fly much, but when i do bring them out to the field,. sometimes they fly and maybe sometimes fly too hard? One of them has a wing that cant retract fully and seems to be in pain, not sure? Can they fly "too" hard that they dislocate some joint? Or hurt a...

    Why would hens (in a hens only pen) attack/peck each other?

    it's a 5ft x 3ft enclosure , 3 hens. thanks for the feedback, i've tried to seperate the aggressive ones. but it seems like 2 of the 3 always "bullies" the 3rd smaller one.

    Why would hens (in a hens only pen) attack/peck each other?

    My hens have been laying for about 2 months now, and all were good and peaceful but i noticed just recently one is pecking quite aggressively at one of them (this one is abit smaller also). And this smaller one is clearly scared and runs away when the larger one approaches. Why could this...

    Is this long high pitch call a sign of a broody quail? (video)

    this unique long high pitch call seems to happen either laying of an egg or right after laying an egg. i noticed she is also "somewhat" sitting on an egg (you can see abit of the egg in the video on the right), but usually not for very long. anyway she stays with this position, with mouth...

    Deciphering Adult Female Quail Calls, low pitched call (video inside)

    Just cleaning out their cage and let them freely run around my garage: Curious, what is this low pitched "UUURG" call made by the black one. Sometimes they make this call too when I give them some very yummy earthworms. Are they excited? https://photos.app.goo.gl/ULiexDjWtk6QVJwH7 I know this...

    Is it better to have 1 solo male quail or 2 male quails in one cage?

    So I did gamble and put the 2 males together , and tada... The girls are very calm, quiet and not running around. And the 2 males seem to be ok so far.. they just kinda stand still beside each other... Very weird and awkward? Maybe they will become friendlier when no females get them horny...

    Is it better to have 1 solo male quail or 2 male quails in one cage?

    Got a flock of ~8 week old quails. I had to segregate an extra male since I found there were actually 2 males and it caused some stress to the whole flock. One was particularly bossy/aggressive. So I currently segregated that one to a cage very far away. and now the flock seems much more happy...

    Male chasing , how much to tolerate?

    1 male (confirmed so far), 3 femles the rest i'm quite sure are females since they're all the same age and no others have crow'd. there is around 1.3 SQFT per bird. so it is normal for the "matee" to pant like that after ? when does the "matee" give in and let him "do the deed" ? do things...

    Male chasing , how much to tolerate?

    Please see video, there is one male that seems to bite holding the back of the necks of other quails fairly aggressively. Tho, no feathers ripped nor blood so I guess I can let it go. But this is quite frequent, once per 30 minutes.. so like 50+ times per day. I'm surprised they dont tire...

    What does low pitched frog/duck like sound mean? (opposite from happy chirps)

    thanks, i'm 99% sure i figured out what it is. Yes it is a male likely, and it's starting to make an actaul crow more and more. the hum/low-pitched croak is a precursor to the full crow. it takes about a week to "practice" i noticed it's trying to peck/grab the back of the necks of other quails...

    What does low pitched frog/duck like sound mean? (opposite from happy chirps)

    thanks. but no, i'm familiar with that crow and it is certainly not a repeated pitch sound. just 1 sound pitch. i'm reading more that it could be a female showing its dominance/anger?

    What does low pitched frog/duck like sound mean? (opposite from happy chirps)

    have a ~6-7 wk quail and i sometimes hear a very weird sound. almost like low pitched duck quack but i dont phyiscally see any of them moving their mouths so I can't tell who. also, one of them she/he (not sex'd yet) is acting slightly aggressively and i suspect it's that one. when one of them...

    Clay-colored very moist really smelly poo

    since around 1 day ago, i found some extra smelly poo in my batch 5-6 week old quails. the color is kind of maroon in color, much like clay (similar shine and consistency as well). it's abit soft and watery (but not watery that I could actually see water seperated) comapred to their usual...

    My young quails LOVE dandelions.. its in season

    yes they have a sandbath with natural sand, and they tend to peck it alot. i assume they are consuming some of it. they peck more than they actaully bath there.
