    Cleaning dirty quail chicks?

    I have mine on shredded straw with peatmoss dust baths... between the peat dust and spilled food, I think it makes poo cement, LOL. Worth trying the sand if it will help.

    Cleaning dirty quail chicks?

    I can vouch for Peat Moss being dusty.... it's what I use for my dust baths... though, I'm thinking I need to add some sand, because, they get poo balls stuck to their claws... because they're In an indoor cage, they can't scratch around to keep their feet clean. Whenever I clean their pens I...

    Growth/tumor? Something on Quail's Head

    That's my thought too. Hasn't been any injury.

    Growth/tumor? Something on Quail's Head

    So, one of my hens has had this little growth on her head. And I just noticed today that there is a hole in the skin, and underneath its black, and looks like matted hair.... bird doesn't seem to be in distress, even when it's touched. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to what it is, or...

    Question regarding quail molting

    I am letting them be, hoping that they just need recovery time... but, the majority of my flock is old, and seems to be egged out, so, Having more than 2-3 eggs a day would be nice.

    Question regarding quail molting

    Hatched out last fall, so, 8 months or so?

    Haha, true. I bought mine from a breeder, but from the "assorted" cage... so, a mix 9f everything.

    Unique colours this time

    It is definitely interesting as each batch is different, and each breeding gives different combos.

    Thanks for the IDs. I knew some of them, the M/F I'm still learning, though #6 I was pretty sure was male due to the darker head. Definitely getting lots of the gold and red tones mixed into them.

    Thanks, me too! Every hatch I do, I get better and better mixes. The joys of not worrying about your breeding pairs :D

    Unique colours this time

    Got a bunch of unique and New (to me) colours in my most recent hatch. They're growing into their colours quite nicely. I have mostly no idea whether they're Male or Female... one or two I have ideas. These are just a sampling from the 26 in the last clutch.

    Question regarding quail molting

    I did a search but wasn't really finding my question: All my ladies, and roos, seem to be molting.... they have lots of clean feathers, but there are a ton littered around their pens. Most of my hens aren't currently laying, and haven't for several weeks.... they also keep shoving all their...

    Butchering: first time complete ****GRAPHIC****

    I had less issue eating it... more with the killing... For first taste: definitely a different meat, tougher than chicken. Would be nice slow roasted.

    Butchering: first time complete ****GRAPHIC****

    So, I just butchered my first quail. I was planning on it eventually, but tonight it became necessary. As my newest hatch was getting older, I moved the hens into a pen with a solo older rooster... Discovered this evening when I got home that the rooster (named Duck) had quite savagely...

    No.... if it's a hen, I'll keep it. If not, it goes to freezer camp. About 4 weeks old here.

    That's what I thought I did.... all I did for this post was paste the BB code. Edit**** I copied the wrong code, that's my fault. Should be fixed now.

    Quail attacked by another quail

    They are rather nasty to each other. I've had males be overly aggressive with hens, and I have had female peck the eyes, and scalp males. I am changing my arrangement. Males will be living by themselves, and will only be Introduced to hens for breeding purposes.

    Can someone tell me, how long DO quail live for?

    I think this is going to be my plan going forward. Other than the ladies being.plucked bald, my issue has generally been the other way... the ladies get tired of the males and beat the crap out of them.
