One of my female coturnix quails just recently started pecking my hands and even jumping up to peck me whenever I go to feed them (or anyone that tries to feed them). It only started a few weeks ago. She is about 6 months old and at around 5-6 weeks old she seemed to just snap and attacked all...
I am not sure what is going wrong. This is my second time hatching coturnix quails. I don't know what information would be relevant so I will just provide all the info I can and hopefully someone can tell me what is happening.
Incubated 48 eggs from my own birds. I hatched the parent birds...

It's my first time raising coturnix quail and I hatched this quail out of the egg. She had a crooked neck and a...

I have 18 chicks. 15 of them are Jumbo Browns. 2...
