Hi! Could this cage work for 4 coturnix quails, 3 females and a male? And could I possibly add more quails in the future? It has a wind protected inside area and also an outside area, do i need to cover it any extra with netting on the ground on the outside area? And what should i use as...

Thank you :)

I think she might be traumatized for a past experience. I hatched out 4 quails and (of course) got 3 males and one female (this hen) they grew up fine but when the roos hit sexual maturity they started to peck on her and one day i came in to find a big wound on her head, the males had picked up...

Yes, i do have a cork tunnel and a cut out bucket. Do you think adding some branches will help her hide from the male?

Can someone help me identify these colours? I’m guessing that my male is a manchurian and my females are italians but they might aswell be snowies, does anyone know? My two females on the left and my male on the right

Hello. I have 4 coturnix quails, one male and 3 females. When my male is trying to breed with one of my females the female is just trying to run away from him and she looks scared. However, my other 2 hens just lay down when they’re getting bred and they don’t run around and panic. What should...

Hi, I came across a quail feed that has 4,20 % caclcium and 23% protein. Would this be fine for both chicks and adults or could the increased calcium level harm the chicks in anyway?

Do you think I should lockdown them laying down on their sides or upright in an egg carton?

I can take a picture right now, they all have u shaped air cells on the side and some even have on both sides of the egg

I have 7 quail eggs that i will be putting into lockdown in just a few hours. They are shipped eggs and unfortunately 6 out of 7 look like they all have saddled air cells. Should i set them flat when i lockdown or upright in an egg cartoon? What about humidity?

Yes these are coturnix quail. I’m planning on hatching out a few more and hope for more females.

Hello, I ordered 12 fertile quail eggs last Thursday from Germany (I live in Sweden) They shipped out on Friday morning and they will probably arrive tomorrow (Tuesday). That means that when i pick them up they have been in shipping for about 4.5 days. The temperature has been around 0 C so i...

Hello! I have an 8 week old quail hen who hasn’t started laying yet. I fed her on 20% chick starter since that was the only thing I could find in my area but it seemed to work fine and I’ve heard of other people using chick starter for quails. I originally hatched out 4 quails, unfortunately i...
