I recently hatched a few coturnix quail and buttons together, they are about a week old, but one of the coturnix babys isnt growing. The others all are getting feathers by now and are larger. Ive almost mistaken him as a button quail baby a few times. Hes getting weaker and i dont know why? Hes...
Update, i did move her. Shes been super persistant with sitting on them, yet the other females keep scattering her eggs. Everytime i see one out of the nest, i brought it inside and put it in my incubator. I tried putting them back under her but they would just get pushed out by the other...
Ive decided not to move her, although other females keep trying to lay more eggs in her nest, so ive marked all her eggs so i can make sure to take out new ones, because i wouldnt want some growing at different times, and them dying when she gets off the nest when the others have hatched. Ive...
I have just noticed one of my Females is Brooding. Shes sitting on a pile of eggs and hasnt got off it once, except when no others were around to get some food, and instantly ran back to them when another hen got near the eggs. She sat down and rolled them around under her. But shes kind of in...
not at the moment no, although her breathing has gotten a bit better, but her chirping still is raspy and shes still sneezing. shes also running around chirping for me whenever i take my hand out of the brooder
I have a lonely chick who hatched and her chirping has been super raspy and shes also been sneezing, and her breathing has crackly sounds? Shes very lively but i know that could change very quickly. She also dosnt eat food on her own, or drink. All my other chicks started eating and drinking the...
Im incubating some quail eggs and i have one egg left, shes been pipped for 24 hours and i havnt heard her chirp once. I do see the egg wiggle a bit from time to time and the shell move around the pip, but barely ever. What should i do? How long should i wait before helping.
I spend a ton of time with them and holding them when they are babies, and hand-feed them treats, but after they get about 4 weeks old, they start getting skittish. I know when they start to mature they would be more independent, but mine start running from me.
I have been attempting to tame my Coturnix quail, but every batch, they always end up skittish no matter how much time I spend with them because I want them to be tame so I can handle them easier. I've just bought some button quail eggs, and I was wondering if they would be easier to tame? Also...
The past few days ive noticed one of my females chasing the "alpha" male. I have 2 males and hes the more dominant one, but lately my female has been chasing him constantly. He hides and runs away, and all the others run to avoid her wrath. She even pecked one of the others when they got too...
I have a month old quail and i notice, whenever i fill her water (even if its already full) she runs over and drinks a ton but then pukes it up? Or something, sometimes it bubbles out of her mouth and its like spit consistancy, but after like 15 seconds of "choking on it" shes fine. Even when...
