    FREE Blue Coturnix Quail (Georgia)

    I've got too many males. Most of them are going in the freezer, but this particular one is far to beautiful and sweet, so I thought it'd be best to give him away. He is a rare blue coturnix Quail, perfectly healthy, born in April, not aggressive at all, raised cage free, and he has very pretty...

    Can Quail have ground Beans?

    Hi, I have Coturnix Quail, and I have lots of dry Lima beans (or butter beans) that I was thinking of grinding up for them to give them a little protein boost. The Lima beans would be grinded to cornmeal consistency, but aren't cooked or anything, so would it be bad or good for quails?

    Introducing Quail Chicks to 3 week old Quails?

    Hi, I have 32 coturnix quails that are almost 4 weeks old, and now I've just hatched some new baby quails. I put the babies in a tank inside of my quail pen, so the older quail can see them without touching them. The babies and the juveniles are very curious about each other, but I know I can't...

    Is Green Poop Normal for Quail Chicks?

    Hi, my coturnix Quail have been hatching since 2am yesterday. Most have been healthy, one I had to cull because it's legs were deformed, and one died in the incubator soon after hatching for some reason. But I just pulled a new hatchling out of the incubator, and when I picked him up he released...

    Black bulbs don't work for heating??

    I've read a lot saying that black bulbs are better because they give off more heat and less light than other bulbs, so I bought a 75w black heat bulb and a 60w regular black bulb. I decided to try them out to see how hot they get, but they are useless. They heat up like curling irons, meaning...

    Can Baby Quail Catch a Cold from Me?

    Hi, I'm hopefully hatching some Coturnix Quail this week, but this morning I realize I've caught a cold. Lots of sneezing/coughing and a runny nose means lots of germs everywhere and my soon to be baby quails are indoors with me. I turned my whole walk-in closet into a quail pen (what else can a...

    What Age can Quail Start Eating Mealworms?

    I've got 96 coturnix Quail eggs set to hatch soon, and now I'm setting up everything for my new babies :D. I ordered a whole lot of mealworms for them, but I just remembered that someone told me that quail can't have mealworms because they can start toe pecking each other, and once it starts you...

    Can Quail be on 1in wire floor?

    I'm thinking of getting plastic hardware cloth that has 1in holes for my new quail pen. Would that work for them?

    Mealworms Eat Quail poop???

    Hi, so I can't find much info on the internet on this topic, but recently I accidentally discovered something interesting about mealworms that could be useful. I had a digital thermometer that I used for my quails, that was completely crusted in their poop. I needed to use it to check the temp...

    Duck With Eye Closed??

    Hello, I have two free range ducks (Pumpkin and Cocoa) that i let out for about 8 hours yesterday while I went to work. When I came back from work Pumpkin looked like she had gotten beaten up, with one eye closed, i think i see a cut on her face, and i think a crooked neck. She might just be...

    Can Ducks eat Sunflower Seeds with shell?

    I'm thinking of making my own duck feed and the recipe I found online calls for sunflower seeds. http://www.beksbackyard.com/2013/04/how-to-make-your-own-homemade-duck-feed.html?m=1 But it doesn't say whether they need to be hulled or unhulled, just that they need to be partially grinded. Can...

    Baby Quail Got Stuck in Wet Food???

    What should I do? I've been at work all day and when i came home one of my week old chicks was stuck in their bowl of wet food. I pulled him out and stuck him under the heat lamp but now he has dried food crusted all over him. I tried wiping him with a warm wet towel but he cries and struggles...

    Raising Pigeons for Meat??

    Hi, I'm completely new to pigeons, but I see a few people raise them for meat and I'm considering getting some meat pigeons myself. I've had jumbo quail, but they have too little meat on them to make it worth raising them, so pigeons seem like a good idea since they are a bit bigger than quail...

    How To Treat Intestinal Blockage?

    I think my ducks have intestinal blockage from eating the dried grass I've been using for their bedding. They've been eating very little food. What should I do?

    Ducks not eating much??

    Hi, I have 2 female ducks that are at laying age. They used to be total pigs when it comes to food, but for a few days now they haven't been very interested in their food. Just now I gave them a couple slices of honeydew, one of their favorite treats, and they picked at it and walked away :0...

    Free Ducks (Georgia)

    Hello :), I have one Khaki Campbell male and one black runner (he changes color to blue, green, & purple because his feathers are reflective) male. Both are very friendly, will eat out of your hand, and the runner will sit on my lap and let me pet him. They are almost 5 months old and are...

    Can Ducks Eat Mushrooms?

    Hi, I've read that ducks can eat enoki mushrooms, but are there other mushrooms that they can eat? Like white, portabello, oyster, chicken of the woods, or lion's mane? I know some of those aren't so familiar, but they are all edible for people when cooked, and I'm hoping someone might know if...

    Difference Between Free Range & Pasture Raised?

    Hi, I was under the impression that free range meant the ducks are allowed outside to forage in a large fenced area, and that pasture raised meant they are on a very large, grassy land that is fenceless where they forage all day. My ducks are kept in a 12'x7' pen outside most of the time, where...
