    Broody Quail Hen?

    So, I have this hen sitting on eggs... I have read that quails won't see a hatch through. Should I just take the eggs away now, or see how she goes? I'm assuming if she sits for 48hrs ish the eggs won't be any good for eating? Any help welcome! Thanks!

    Broken Wing?

    I was handling each bird to try and sex them. I dropped one and now she is panting and has a droopy wing. Is there anything I can do? I feel pretty bad about it! Gah!

    Quail Entertainment

    I have 8 3 week old Texas A&Ms. So I have sand baths... which they love! Then I sprinkle in some meal worms to get them pecking about and foraging. What does everyone else do? I tried putting some plastic cat toy balls in there, but they didn't care for them. Will they be...

    Quail Chicks and heat lamp

    Hi guys, my chicks are nearly 3 weeks old and are mostly fledged. They are indoors and the coldest it gets in the house is 15*C. I plan on replacing the 40w spot bulb with a 7w energy saving bulb, so they have light to potter about in. Will they be ok? Or should I leave them for another...

    Identifying Chicks

    Hi All. What is the best way to identify a chick? I don't have any rings for their legs. Can I mark them with something? Like felt tip pen? Not sure if this is a totally stupid question or not, so sorry if it is stupid, I have one noisy chick in particular and I want to keep an eye on it is...
