Chukar questions
Hello I am an experienced quail raiser, but have not raised partridge before. I was offered some chukar chicks (days old). I'd actually really only like a pair but obviously you cannot sex them as chicks. Does anyone know off the top of their head at what age they'll display behaviors that...- Kherome

Japanese quail, the gender question
Yeah, the roo has a red chest and a slight face mask as well. Hens would have a speckled chest, not the solid rusty colored one. The Tibetan hen you have you would have to vent sex, or in this case you already know because the roo is obviously not laying the eggs. Also, if those are the only two... -
Japanese quail, the gender question
Yes the lighter colored one is a roo. -
Help!!! My Button Quail turned on her mate!!!!
Sad, but a good example of why a monogamous bird shouldn't be kept in a group setting. :( -

Blu-kote has worked well on quail wounds for me. -
Quail coop??
Not to me. It seems to me he was explaining the forum to you, and he is right. The coop question comes up ALL the time. The forum has a search function and it should be used. Just type "quail coop" or "sick quail" or "laying eggs" etc, whatever you want to know. If you can't find an answer then... -
Quail coop??
DC is a well respected long time member of this forum. He was trying to help you out since you are very new here. I suggest you utilize the advice given rather than respond with disdain. -

Coturnix with swollen lower eyes?
Perhaps she's been pecked in the eyes? Quail seems to like to aim for the eyes and nostrils. Mean little suckers. -
HELP! Quail has a naked back?
No it's not "normal" per se. It is normal to have a few feathers get pulled from the back of the head but not to bald the bird. That is a sign of too few females or bullies usually. -

all who are hatching quail
Yep I sure did. So far 8 out of 11 have hatched too, a pretty great hatch rate for shipped eggs if you ask me! -
all who are hatching quail
I inquired after some Manchurians from JMF. They told me that Vail's quail has some of their jumbo lines so if you want jumbos, try there. This morning I got up to three tiny baby snowflakes flopping around in my incubator. So now I am dealing with 5 three week old Jumbo cots, 7 week and a half... -
James Marie Farms - No new orders till January
Sure, there are lots of folks selling eggs on the FB groups and eBay. Many got their birds from JMF too. I really like and have had good hatches from Vail's Quail myself. I just ordered more in fact. -
HELP! Quail has a naked back?
Well, you can cull the bully, separate them, coat the quail's back in no pick lotion etc. -
Looking for best way to feed meal worms and tips to avoid food wastage.
I followed some advice from Vail's and bought those tupperware containers that are about 12" long and 5" high. Then I cut three holes into each side about 3" up from the bottom. I fill it with food and they stick their heads in the holes to eat. They can't waste food this way. -
HELP! Quail has a naked back?
Probably being pecked by the other quail. -
Quail foot diseases
I'm kind of in the "icky" camp, that is why I asked. Not contagious to other quail though, correct?
