Hello Nabiki - Sorry for late response.
I am feeding them Purina Game Bird Chow for their main crumble. They also get occasional treats like cucumbers, meal worms, and berries.
They live on 1/2'' wire flooring with sandboxes throughout the hutch.

Hello BYC,
I noticed this morning one of my 5 week old quail was struggling to walk out of no where. When she hatched she had no issues and seemed like a normal chick. Earlier this morning it was really bad and all of her toes were completely curled - it looks a little better now a few hours...
So today is now day 21 and these last 2 eggs have no pips / anything going on - I think its probably fair to assume that they wont make it?
I assume they are not viable - should I give it a little longer or is it time to turn the incubator off?
Thank you.

Tycine1 -- The last batch the guy who was a loud mouth was a "creamish" tux roo. Haha the boys be calling
Howdy everyone,

Hey everyone,
Unfortunately one of my button quails has died. She was a good little bird. She had a massive tumor growing out of her side and died last night. Her mate has been calling all day long and is refusing to eat or drink or anything. He has been sitting on his rock all day just doing...
