What's wrong with my coturnix hen?
My poor girl for the past couple of months has been sitting over in the corner sleeping or walking around with her eyes half closed. She's just in general very lethargic she still eats and drinks some and there is no bullying from the other 6 hens who she is with in a pretty big coop with hay... -
In spring when do coturnix quail start laying again?
I don't do lights during winter so in at the beginning of November all but one of my seven quail stopped laying. When do they start laying again in the spring?

What is the best red bulb for a quail broader?
Can anyone give me brand names and specifics? I have got to stop this pecking one way or another. It's crazy to have to have 3 different "brooders" for only 5 little quail chicks! -
Coturnix eggs still haven't hatched on morning of the 18th day! How long did yours take?
There have been tiny movements a few times but nothing more and nothing consistant. These are my first eggs so I really want them to hatch (I've just been staring at them the past couple of days). Is it normal for them to not really be showing any signs of hatching yet?
