Hey It firstly depends on what type of quail you will be housing, some quail like CPQ and Californians need soil or hay and cant stand on wire. Most people recommend wire flooring for Coturnix Quail. But personally I put my Quail on soil, not wire, I think they are more comfortable on it. It is...

Hey Everyone A while ago I hatched out a batch of quail, of which only one is left because of sickness, wrong food and hawks . I will be getting some more quail and I would like to know which type of quail can be used with a recall pen. I would think it would only work with quail that are...

I know it is not the norm, but mine hatched up to day 29 and if I had not pulled the plug more would of probably hatched. They where Rain Quail, which are a type of coturnix quail. Something to do with my humidity or something, so don't pull the plug just yet there could be more coming . I...

Are we talking about humans or quail here?

I had the same problem with some of my chicks, i put the chicks in a separate area and hand fed them water and vitamins, otherwise they will have a hard time drinking. JJMR, in my case their legs where to the side and they toppled over when trying to put them up again. Their necks seemed very...

Well, here is my setup. I started with the temp at 35 degrees celcius and after the last two weeks I have dropped it to about 30 degrees celcius. I watch check up on them often to make sure they are not all bunching and that they are not in the corners. They are generally spread out around the...

3 left now... He looked perfectly healthy and then he just collapsed

Update: I got some different feed, they call it Groei Meel, I think it is the equivalent to growers mash. I also got some rearing feed. They are no name brand packets of feed, and nowhere is there any nutritional information, but it was suggested to me by someone who breeds singing quail in my...

Thanks

I am not completely sure of the species, but the guy I bought the eggs from advertised them as Jumbo Rain Quail. He also sold Common Quail and Button Quail. Unfortunately, there are only 6 left now I still have not gotten a reply from the guy I bought the eggs from, but I have contacted...

What next? One of the quails is running around backwards knocking the other chicks over One a more serious note, one of the chicks, standing on it forelegs instead of on its feet and it is rocking back and forth on its butt. Definitely something to do with its strength, either protein or...

Your right quailladyoffortmyers , maybe he just puts one picture on his ads for all his quail that he sells. He does breed Coturnix Coturnix quail as well as buttons. Or he is just mistaken. Neb

No, I am fairly sure it is a Rain Quail More pics coming.

Don't worry, I only put two teaspoons of the dry ingredients in with the food, so it was in a small amount and it was well mixed in. The only reason the vitamin/electrolyte powder and the vinegar (about two teaspoons) bubbled is because of the same reason vinegar and baking soda bubble and...

Well, I am actually struggling to find Game Bird or Turkey Starter Feed. Maybe I just don't know where to look? In the mean time I have made a concoction of Spirulina, Quinoa, Nutritional Yeast, Hard Boiled Egg, Apple Cider Vinegar and the vitamin and electrolyte powder that the guy that I...
