    Growth in mouth

    I was wondering if it was age related. It is soft, but firm and just feels like tissue. I forget to mention she has a crack in her beak so maybe an injury from flying into the aviary wall

    Growth in mouth

    I noticed my older quail has a growth in her mouth. She is currently separated. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Quail eggs

    They claimed part of the shell comes off naturally when they remove the poop. Not sure how that makes and obvious circular cleaning motion....I also wonder how clean their farm is....

    Quail eggs

    Quail aviary floor

    Thanks. Also the quail poop is much dryer than chicken's so it would be easier to have a dirt forest floor.

    Quail aviary floor

    Quail aviary floor

    We will be starting our build soon for the corturnix quail habitat. I was reading that a wire bottom is easier to clean. However, I had wanted to plant large ornamental grasses, clumping bamboo, etc for hiding purposes which would be difficult on wire (unless the grass grew up through the wire...

    Guin-hen egg

    I left it in for 28 days or so to be on the safe side. It did not developed much after handling.
