    Egg Bound Quail

    We just found out one of our courtnix quail hens was egg bound, we didn't catch it right away, so her innards came out. We put her out of her misery, but in case this happens again how can we help them?

    Is my dove sick?

    I just got three new doves last night. At least one had diarrhea, and this morning when I was holding him I noticed his "bottom" was green around the "poop hole" Sorry I have no clue what it is called. Is it sick? How can I help it?

    Questions from a newbie to Doves

    Thanks TiffanyH, I'll have to try that. I just got 3 more doves last night, one has almost curly feathers, does that mean it's the baby? I am pretty sure the lady said that there was two parents and the other was the offspring, so I am just trying to figure out which one to put out with my...

    How to feed Courtnix Quail?

    How much feed should a quail need per bird? We have about 50 or so and it seems like we are going through it way too fast. Nearly every time we go in the coop (usually 5-8 times a day) the feeder is empty (a 2in or so pvc pipe cut just under 1/2, about a foot and a half long) My hubby grew up...

    Double Yolker Extravaganza...is this normal?!

    I have a question about double yolk eggs, are they bigger than normal eggs? We recently got some standard couchins (sp) and the first egg (yesterday) was huge, it was bigger than our store bought brown eggs! Today I went out to get the eggs and they were all the same size as our Rhode Island...

    Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore

    Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain : Quote: Ah... so the Doves are yours! Very cute! The turner just tips them from side to side, at least most turners do. You can simulate a turner by putting the eggs in a carton and raising one end of the carton, thereby tipping them to one side. When you "turn", you...
