...a rare blue coturnix Quail, perfectly healthy, born in April, not aggressive at all, raised cage free, and he has very pretty coloring.
He'd be great for breeding, you'd probably get some interesting colors from him. I'd like to give him away **within 2 DAYS**. I can be reached by text...
Thanks, but aren't ground dry garbanzo beans a common ingredient in homemade chicken & duck feed? Well, maybe garbanzo beans are just an exception to being poisonous.
Hi, I have Coturnix Quail, and I have lots of dry Lima beans (or butter beans) that I was thinking of grinding up for them to give them a little protein boost. The Lima beans would be grinded to cornmeal consistency, but aren't cooked or anything, so would it be bad or good for quails?
Update: Well, something interesting happened. The chicks outgrew their tank so I fenced off a small section in the juvenile quail pen and put them in it. The fenced in section has no covering, but I thought it'd be unlikely that the bigger quail would fly into their area. I was wrong. The...
I've got 19 day-olds so far and I expect a few more will hatch tonight and tomorrow. Once I release the new chicks in a couple of weeks, would they have safety in numbers? My enclosure is 60 square feet on the first level, and then the other levels (only a few of the quail use the upper levels)...
Hi, I have 32 coturnix quails that are almost 4 weeks old, and now I've just hatched some new baby quails. I put the babies in a tank inside of my quail pen, so the older quail can see them without touching them. The babies and the juveniles are very curious about each other, but I know I can't...
Hi, I have two Quail chicks, one 2 days old and one 3 days old, that walk around with their feet turned inward like this
I did some reading on how to correct the feet, and, as you can see, I tried to splint the toes with a bandaid but its not working out for me. I don't know how anyone can...
When I had ducklings, I read somewhere on the duck forum that ducklings don't need grit for eating insects. They only need grit for when they eat seeds or other things really hard to digest. I assumed the same applied for Quail chicks, but I just went and gave them some grit just to be safe.
Update: Well, my baby quails started hatching a couple days ago, and yesterday I decided to give them a few of my smallest live mealworms (1/4-1/2 inch) and see how they'd respond. They went NUTS for them! :lol: They swallowed them whole like it was nothing and went in a frenzy trying to get...
Hi, my coturnix Quail have been hatching since 2am yesterday. Most have been healthy, one I had to cull because it's legs were deformed, and one died in the incubator soon after hatching for some reason. But I just pulled a new hatchling out of the incubator, and when I picked him up he released...
I'm somewhat new to quail, but the cage does seem a bit tight for 4 quail. There needs to be at least 1 square foot of floor space per Quail, not including the space the feeders take up.
Thanks, my chicks should start hatching this weekend :). Btw buying off eBay is not as bad as you think. Why take time out of my busy schedule to go drive to a pet store, when I can order the same item for a cheaper price and have it delivered in 2-3 days (free of charge) to my doorstep? Then I...
