Splayed/Spraddle Leg Quail Chick
He seems to be doing better. Just took off the brace and he holds his foot under him better but still hobbles. Giving him a break and then I'll put it back on tonight. Also I tried the cup method and he just flipped upside down or the bad leg was bent out and upwards worse so I took him out... -
Splayed/Spraddle Leg Quail Chick
Thanks for all the advice! I'll leave the brace on tonight and see how he is tomorrow. -
Splayed/Spraddle Leg Quail Chick
Is the tp roll and bent leg okay a few times a day? I feel like it could help since the leg doesn't like to bend under properly on its own but holding him for an hour a few times a day is kinda hard to do, as cute as he is -
Splayed/Spraddle Leg Quail Chick
So leave it on 24/7 for a week or so? -
Splayed/Spraddle Leg Quail Chick
How long should I keep him splinted? Just do it every day and take it off? My "bird" friend said to do it for a month but if he can't walk that can't be possible? He falls asleep in my hand and twitters/purrs so I was able to get him to sleep more properly in the tp tube, in his box he tends to... -
Splayed/Spraddle Leg Quail Chick
I started the eggs on June 20th and 2 hatched on day 21-22, so July 11-12. This one needed some help and looked weak the first day or so and then was good, active and eating/drinking. The other one was active from the start and then a day or so later it got weak and died. As for the cup I... -
Splayed/Spraddle Leg Quail Chick
Chick was hatched on the 11th, didn't notice until a couple days ago that it's leg was pointed in the wrong direction and he was unable to walk/run properly. I braced it at the top, the foot still pointed the wrong way so I added the second part. He fall on his face if I let him go, so I wrapped... -
Sexing Older Mixed Chicks
Thanks that's about how old I was guessing based on what he said. They are really sweet they sit on my shoulder and the black one will settle right down all comfy on there. I hope they stay this friendly! I have a couple young quail that I got the same day, I call them popcorn because they just...- QuailRain

Sexing Older Mixed Chicks
Any idea how old they may be? Or what mixed with? Neither seems to have a dominant personality (something said Roos can be from a young age) both are quite gentle and the one snuggles under the other. These pictures are from 2 weeks ago- QuailRain

Sexing Older Mixed Chicks
A couple weeks ago I got 2 chicks, the guy just told me they were bantam americauna mix and we're "a few weeks old". It's been little over 2 weeks now and they've grown quite a bit and I absolutely love them. However I am in a small town and if there's a rooster I won't be able to keep it, so...- QuailRain

Japanese Quail Genders and Breeds
Can't we just hatch her eggs and put her with the hens that are hatched? That was our plan to expand our flock. In the meantime what should i do with the other rooster and how do i know which one to remove? I dont have any way of getting more hens at the moment, ill start looking but these three... -
Japanese Quail Genders and Breeds
Does this one help any better? And they are "golden" then? What is the third one considered? And the two have several differences from each other thats why i wasnt sure about the red chest, they both seem tk have it but have white speckles on the red too so that threw me off as well -
Japanese Quail Genders and Breeds
We just got these quail about a week ago and we know the light one is a hen, about 24 weeks and the other two are about 6 or 7 weeks but don't know the genders. One is smaller than the other, and one was.humping the hen. But we also fhound a tiny egg and are hoping it was from a young hen? We...
