    Could the males live together?

    What to do?

    Thanks. I’ll try to move tuxedo next to them. How “healed” does she need to be to reintroduce?? Her neck has no feathers and I worry the cock will mate and hurt her further if she’s not properly ready.

    What to do?

    So we have 5 quail. All 6 weeks old yesterday. Turns out we have a set of brown male and 2 females than get on well. They are in the main bottom section of the long run (the cages are joined). There is a Texas a&m male in the bottom purple cage alone. And a ‘female’ (we think) in the upstairs...

    The entire set is low roof. It’s a ramp up to the higher level.

    Make quail behaviour. Help

    Thanks. These were all hatched together from a mixed set so they aren’t related but hatched in same batch. I thought that they’d just naturally adjust. Seems not.

    Help! Quail assisted hatched after shrink wrap. Now what?

    Hi. Sadly they both didn’t make it to morning. Natures way. Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. We have 5 hatched and healthy so hoping that’s enough for our little home small holding.

    Help! Quail assisted hatched after shrink wrap. Now what?

    Hi Newby here. Two chicks got shrink wrapped. Helped them out. Both alive but they were zipping for over 24 hours. Now one of them is v lethargic and other is v active but stuck on its back even if I help to flip it, it goes back. What should I do? Hatched 30/40 mins ago.

    Hatchling not progressing?

    Hi Coturnix hatched before 8.30am (uk time) today. So it’s at least 8 hours old… could be more. It’s not as fluffy as my previous 4 got (they are in the brooder) and it seems very lethargic and not getting up on it’s legs much. It was a breech hatch (zipped the pointy end of egg!) and took a...
