    Advise needed on rat bites.

    I have an 8ft by 8ft by 7ft tall aviary in the UK. I made it specially for the quails last summer. This is my first time. I had about 33 Quails in there, till a rat got in. Before I could figure out what was happening and identified where the rats were getting in, 10 were killed. Of the...

    Good Uses for Quail Eggs

    I got one pair sent out to me from ebay UK (I live in the UK). It cost about 2.5 GBP each, then i saw some in china at about 1 GBP each. I ordered 5 :) for friends and family. I would order some now if i were in the USA, before you get stung with an additional 25% import tax ;).

    Good Uses for Quail Eggs

    I cut the eggs with quail egg scissors and gently just drop them in soup. Boil them for 3-4 mins and they stay intact as egg balls. Stunningly easy and amazingly nice.

    Feed question

    Yes I am. I think I might have found turkey starter at 22%. This still may be considered a little low. I am open to suggestions.

    Feed question

    I have the same issue, i can get 19% protein. Anything higher is a little difficult to get hold of. I am thinking of grinding 200g of dried meals worms and add it to ground 800g of 19% feed. This should give me something about 25% protein. I am planning to feed this to newly hatched quail...
