    Canker disinfection and cleanup

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum! One of my birds just came down with canker, has been quarantined and treated. These are indoor quail, and so I know that the infection is inside the house, and on the balcony. I need to treat the pen for trichomonas G. Will protozoans be killed by simple...

    What's the Deal with Quail?

    It depends on the individual. I've had it go both ways, but the reaction is a lot better if they're raised together. Males need to have so many ladies to themselves though, it's a huge hassle having more than one in my experience.

    What's the Deal with Quail?

    Someone else may have said it already, but you should know that "1 square foot of space per bird does not mean you can keep a quail in a 1x1 space, it would be miserable! I've seen people try... The birds were not happy at all. It was like a battery cage. I'd say that rule is more realistic the...

    Solution to hot quail found

    So I've been worrying about the comfort of my quail during the 95f degree weather,and want them to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine without getting too hot. So I put emergency foil blankets over the sunniest part of their enclosure which dramatically lowered the temps.. Still lots of pink noses...

    Quail scared of mealworms

    I love the video! At around 14 seconds, you will hear a high pitched 'giggle' type of noise. They make this sound when they're really happy! You could imagine them making a little heart emoji along with it.

    Scared coturnix quail hen

    I recommend giving her some space. I have had two hens so far that were terrified of roosters. Separating her from the rooster for a while where she won't have to see him for a couple of weeks can help lots. I've noticed that my snowy hens, the ones that are white with a lot of tiny black...

    comfortable temps for ADULT quail

    Update! I got the temperatures down below 80 in their outdoor area! I'll bring them inside if it gets close to 90, and keep them with a fan and ice blocks. They love the fan. I used those reflective foil blankets to create a shade against the sun where it shines during the hottest part of the...

    Are button quail harder to tame than Coturnix/Tips?

    You might feel silly doing it, but Xouie has a good point about mimicing their sounds. When my wife and I feed them, we make their 'special treat' noise (It sounds like b-b-b-b-b-b-b) and they come running to get some food. Predators don't do this. We also join in on their evening scream, but...

    comfortable temps for ADULT quail

    I'm starting to be able to reach a ballpark guess for comfortable temps in this thread thanks to all this input. Peeking at my quail when they're out there they seem fine and other than pink noses (quail version of blushing/flushed face) and just peck around, but the minute I go out there they...

    comfortable temps for ADULT quail

    That's terrible! I'm sorry about that... It's currently reaching about 90/95 temps, and they have a fan, a wallow, and ice water. Is this comfort though or is it just barely making it?

    comfortable temps for ADULT quail

    Oh yeah, they can definitely survive it! They're super tough little guys. I just don't want them to *have* to survive it, if it's 'surviving' and not 'enjoying' I'll just keep them in the house. 😄

    comfortable temps for ADULT quail

    Yes, coturnix quail! Sorry I forgot to mention that! I'm definitely going off of comfort. I'm quite confident they wouldn't die, but I don't want them to be feeling like OMGOMGOMGTOOHOT!!! All day. As for stress, these guys are lap birds and love to be picked up! The temperature outside is a...
