    Bad button quail mom?

    Recently my female quail has plucked the feathers off of the male just above where the tail feathers are. I've never had this happen before, one male I had a while back did this to his mate but never have I seen the female pluck the male before. Is there anything I can do to prevent it? My cage...

    Do you think the chicks will miss their mother? I would really prefer if they don't all start chirping all the time as my bedroom is right above them.

    I've been occasionally filling up the old jar lid with marbles just in case. But I just saw them drink from the bottle so it should be good

    Mom and dad have been right next to each other so they should be fine. I'm not sure if the chicks know how to drink out of a rodent water bottle (that's what I use for them since I can't find a poultry waterer small enough for quail)

    When is the right time to separate the mom from the chicks. It's been about 8 weeks and the male keeps calling all the time. When can I put mom back with the male?

    Just bought a net and used it for the first time. I'm never going back to using my hands. I've been wondering about this for a while. Does it mean anything if button quail blink at you? Does it have to do with stress or communication?

    How do you catch your quail? That has always been a problem for both me and the quail that needs to be caught.

    Ok. I'm planning on reintroducing him to them sometime soon. Hopefully all will go well. That story is really adorable though Button quails are great.

    Bad button quail mom?

    Thank you for your insight. I was able to put one of the chicks back with mom and he's doing well. I am currently keeping my male in a separate cage. He is always trying to get to my female(his mate) and I'm worried he might hurt himself in the process. Is there a preferred time that males are...

    Bad button quail mom?

    My 6 month old button quail recently hatched 5 eggs and they all were with her the first night. When I got back from school today, I found 3 of them on the ground outside of the cage with their bodies all bent in awkward positions. The drop is about 2 1/2 feet. I picked them up thinking they...

    Should I be worried if she is starting to lose feathers on the top of her head from the bouncing?

    Yeah I believe the other two are a pair. If they have babies I'll use your advice. And the cages are close enough for them to see each other.
