    Female quail happy or upset??

    Thanks for the response! So I guess the fact that she's talking so much when she hears me means that she is somewhat happy? I wish I knew if she was better off in my house or outside with the other quail. I guess if she lays an egg for me tonight since I've been in the room talking to her for...

    Female quail happy or upset??

    Oh and just to clarify I am talking about a Coturnix quail, not a bob white or anything. She's just the normal brownish color with some spots on her chest.

    Female quail happy or upset??

    We got 10 quail from this guy a couple weeks ago. Many were not in the best condition. Mostly missing feathers probably from being in a confined space. One is even missing an eye. The one I am most concerned about is a female who looks like she has as broken wing. Even when resting, her...

    What breed of quail is this ? and Is it a male or female ?

    Okay, just did research. I believe our mystery color is called rosetta. And I think it comes in normal and double barred. Your's looks like a double barred rosetta. And apparently if you breed a Rosetta to a white one (like the TX A&M) you will get a tuxedo like I am talking about. That's...

    What breed of quail is this ? and Is it a male or female ?

    I'd like an answer too! I have one just like that in with my Coturnix quail. Mine is a boy, I know for sure because he crows a lot and acts like a male. I also have 2 others that are that color brown but have white chests, like a tuxedo. I don't know what those are either. Maybe hybrids?

    Snot sounds??

    You guys are gonna think I'm insane, but maybe it was just yogurt. I tried sharing a little bit of my yogurt with him and it was after that he made the snotty sounds. Maybe he got some in his nose. He sounds better now. All yogurt aside, he does cry an awful lot. I give him food and...

    Snot sounds??

    Hi guys, I'm posting about that chick I posted about a couple days ago. He was doing soooo much better. He was "in" with the other 3, no bullying, able to snuggle up with the biggest one, everything was fine. I've been out by the stalls all day so I was constantly spying on what was going...

    Sick or injured chick? Advice needed

    Just put him in there. Before I did I put him with the others and IMMEDIATELY the biggest one started to peck him. I stopped it real quick, but it definitely confirms my suspicions about what must have gotten him in such bad shape to begin with. I am fortunate I was there to intervene this...

    Sick or injured chick? Advice needed

    Also forgot to add, he will have a warm light all night! Thanks for that advice. The others have one too! I just got him in the AC today because he was so upset this morning he was panting really bad. I am learning what meanies chicks can be! I live in Virginia. It got up to around 90...

    Sick or injured chick? Advice needed

    French Copper Marans huh? I kinda liked calling them the French Leg Hair breed ;-) HAHA just kidding, thanks for setting it straight. Okay. I feel very confident that the other 3 chicks were bullying this little guy. He is by far the smallest of the 4, definitely must not have been hatched...

    Sick or injured chick? Advice needed

    Hi guys, I am a brand new member and am a beginner at the whole chicken thing. We have a 30 acre farm with 8 horses and we have just recently gotten into the chickens and quail. We bought our first 6 chicks in March and then got 6 more from Southern States about a week later. Yesterday we...
