Hi!
I suspect that my 3ish month old coturnix quail might have worms. After about a weekish of stress (she was being bullied - its been fixed now) I noticed her poops started to get watery and a little lighter. Hoping it was just a reaction to stress I decided to wait it out. That was some...
Update!
I wanted to update this with my results and steps in case someone else comes across the same problem.
It took about 5ish days for my girls to get along again.
I took a mix of suggestions in this thread and combined them into something that worked for me. The day after I discovered...
Thank you! I'm really hoping that is it - a mixture of stress and heat. I haven't seen her do it, and things have calmed down in the coop, so fingers crossed it was just a brief issue of drinking too much for a few days.
Hi again - I'm back with another quail issue/question (ugh)!
Recently I had issues with my 3 adult female coturnix quail having attitude problems towards one another (see this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/female-quail-turned-into-a-bully-after-reintroduction-help.1486060/ )...
Do you have a suggestion of how long I should keep them separated before reintroducing them? This issue happened after only 24 hours of being separated from the others - I'd hate to have all of them get aggressive upon reintroducing.
Thanks for the idea! I attached a picture of my coop. The original set up had their food and water in the top part, but per your suggestion I added a dish with feed and an extra water source underneith - so hopefully everyone can at least stay fed and hydrated while I sort this out. I did notice...
I think I will try that! I can grab my cat carriers and put one in each to spray down the coop, and hopefully that will give them some time to calm down, too. Luckily its just one being mean - but it took me by complete surprise because she isn't a new bird, just was away for a day. Thank!
Hi! I'm brand new here but have used other people's questions as resources for my quail and chickens for a while. I just can't find any answers to my particular problem, so I thought I would register and turn to you all for help.
First off, I have three cotturnix quail hens in a decently large...
