    A&Ms More Agressive?

    I have roughly 50 A&M quail. They range from 2.5 weeks to 3 months. I've noticed that they all seem far more aggressive than any of my other, non-A&M quail. Has anyone experienced this?

    Here's a new one. It looks like a Pharoah but instead of the usual browns, cinnamon, and creams, it's black, gray, and white. Anyou ideas? I have 3 of them.

    I got them from a guy locally. He said they're imported but I'm not sure if they are or not. I'm really digging the cinnamon

    I'm new to quail and need your help. I have no idea what colors I have. Please disregard the poop. Cage cleaning day is fun.

    I need your help. I've heard that to sell coturnix quail and their eggs, I have to have my flock PT tested. Is this correct? How do I go about doing that?

    Scalped Quail

    I'm going to hit Tractor Supply on my way home. I have some empty totes I can use, just need feeders and waterers for them. I've also heard Blu-Kote works well to help it heal and protect the wound?

    Scalped Quail

    Do you have an issue with him not being able to cover all the hens and fertilize the eggs? It sucks! I'm just hoping it's not 1 of the 3 that we consider lifers. Both of my boys have picked out and named one, and then I have a favorite. Of course, the ******* white one is the oldest's favorite...

    Scalped Quail

    I need some help. I have 30 coturnix quail, 5 males to 25 females. They range from 8 weeks to 9.5 weeks. Yesterday I came home from a baby shower to find one of my males missing all the skin from the top of his head. I went out this afternoon to check on him and the others, and found one of my...

    Feeders?

    What do you all use for feeders for your birds? I bought one of the Mason jar feeders at Tractor Supply and they've completely spilled it out in a matter of an hour. How can I feed them without all the waste?

    Staggered Hatch

    Also, for a brooder, would I be better off using a red heat bulb or a ceramic heat emitter?

    Staggered Hatch

    Hey all. After tweaking and new thermometers, I finally got my incubator temps stable. I have 20 quail eggs that are on day 12, 17 on day 8, and 24 on day 4. I didn't intend on having so many eggs with different hatch dates, but I got the first batch while waiting for the second to arrive. They...

    I know these are pasture raised but I don't know if roosters are kept with them or not. Here's to hoping!

    No, they weren't marked as fertile. I looked for some, but they didn't have any. Shopping with an overtired 4 year old and a newborn doesn't lend itself well to going to multiple stores to look for them. I figured, what the heck, for a few bucks, it's worth a shot.
