FREE Quail coop & accessories
Friends--My work and family has me too busy to attend to my coop as I should, so I'm offering it all up for free to someone LOCAL who can pick it up. I still have a handful of adult female egg layers that should continue to produce for you (I get about an egg per bird per day year-round). I've...- RobPS

Can you mix Button's with Coturnix quail in the same coop?
I have a coop with 8 female coturnix that are about 8 weeks old. The Coop is big enough for 10-12 birds, going by the 1 sq foot per bird rule. It has a "downstairs" and ramp leading to an "indoor-upstairs" section and all birds have access to it all. Would I be able to add 2 - 4 button quail... -
8 healthy hens, but only 1 egg per day total?
As the subject suggests... I have a pen with 8 coturnix quail, all from the same litter, and all about 8 weeks old. The pen exceeds the recommended 1 cu ft per bird--I have room for 10-12 birds according to that physical space requirement. I purchased these birds from a local breeder at age... -
Quail egg size-new layer
Yesterday my first set of 8 quail produced the first egg! Today, I got home from work and found a second, so one of these girls has started her daily ritual--or maybe I have two layers? The difference in egg size is remarkable. The first one was tiny! Second was huge--especially long-and... -
Will they learn horizontal nipple??
Hi folks. Newbie here with 8 female quales that I just introduced into my first quail coop (never raised other birds either). I built a 5 gal bucket feeder using horizontal nipples. So far I have not seen any birds using it. Not sure how often they drink, but I also don't sit out there for... -
4-5wk old Curtonix quail--food?
Newb question for the experts.. I'm picking up my first quail this weekend. The breeder told me that they are fully feathered out and 4 weeks old, so they'll be closer to 5 weeks by the time I get them. They are being kept indoors at 40* temp now (garage?) so I will do the same in my garage. I... -
ISO Coturnix quail near Ann Arbor
Any breeders out there with chicks that are about ready to sell?? I prefer to buy from a breeder who's on this forum, but so far I've seen no posts from breeders looking to sell chicks. I will consider incubating as a last resort, because I'm so new at this whole backyard quail idea. I'm...- RobPS

Went searching for some scrap lumber and..
OK guys & gals... So I had this nice design in my head for building my first quail coop, and decided to go price out some lumber. I discovered a "re-use-it" shop near my home that is kind of like a Salvation army, but not clothing. People drop off all sorts of old stuff and then this store... -
Is it legal to raise quail in my back yard?
Forgive me if I've missed an important post on this... I'm a newbie and the only search I could find on this subject resulted in a very old 2009 post. I'm hoping to get some updated information from current members. I live in Saline, MI (Pittsfield Twp) and am wondering if there are any... -
