    Have I just discovered the ultimate enclosure for house-pet quail?

    You're not nearly as crazy as you may have thought you were, because I've been there too. My upgraded chick brooder was one of those pop-up rectangular mesh laundry hampers for about $8 from Target. The kind with a non-mesh bottom, and I used an old towel binder-clipped around the top edge as a...

    My lovely yellow goldens.

    Always the hair, my goodness. As long as it can fly, from starlings to sparrows to quail, and pheasants too! Always getting feet tangled in my hair 😂. Bless you for bringing the joy of your endeavor to us, and to your guests.

    Chicken chicks male or female: 10 methods to identify

    I know this is an older post, but I've been curious about some behavior in my quail chicks. One out of the three will make the 'tidbitting' sound when it finds a mealworm or I fill their feeder.

    Don't know if it applies to yours, but I did read a study about canola/rapeseed oils or meals negatively affecting a significant portion of commercial broilers. I've made a point to avoid anything with it for my birds thus far.

    1Wk Hungarian Partridge Chicks Dying!

    Hi there, thanks for the response. The reptile heating mat is the ZooMed small size about 4x5in, and is only under the feathers, since the heat lamp doesn't warm them up on the back side. There's a layer of cloth (cotton) and two paper towels between the chicks and the mat. According to my temp...
