    Growth in mouth

    I noticed my older quail has a growth in her mouth. She is currently separated. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Quail eggs

    I have ordered mail order eggs 3 times. This last time, the person had scrubbed the eggs clean. Did they "dry clean" these too much? Thanks.

    Quail incubation

    I have quail eggs arriving Thursday. Last time, the seller said to put them right in the incubator and not turn for 24 hours (fat end up). For chicken eggs, I have them sit at room temp for at least 24 hours prior to putting in the incubator. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Quail aviary floor

    We will be starting our build soon for the corturnix quail habitat. I was reading that a wire bottom is easier to clean. However, I had wanted to plant large ornamental grasses, clumping bamboo, etc for hiding purposes which would be difficult on wire (unless the grass grew up through the wire...

    Edible plants in aviary

    I would like to plant edible plants the quail can snack on. I was reading that catnip is a no, but how about other mints? I plan to include corn, winter rye, alfalfa, nasteriums, sunflower, dandelion, and clover. I read some kale is okay, but not in large amounts so I am not planting those, but...

    Quail housing

    I have been doing a bit of research on coturnix quail housing. We will be getting around 20-24 quail. I have been reading there should be at least 20 square inches per quail. My question is roughly what percentage should the run vs the house be? Thanks.

    Quail and chicken proximity

    We have chicks in a brooder and quail in an incubator right now. The quail will be in a separate brooder of course. My question would be how far do the brooders need to be? Separate rooms? Etc? Thanks. I need to clarify, the chicks were purchased as chicks (impulse buy) and the quail as eggs.

    Guin-hen egg

    I thought I would share this. Our guinea fowl was raised with our hens and this spring started to mate with them.

    Crested chicks

    Back in May we bought two crested bantams to add to our other new chicks. The kid was not knowledgeable and was unsure what crested variety they were, but told us both were the same breed. They both looked similar as chicks except for the toes. One had 5 toes which I idenified as a houdan. The...

    Black French Copper Maran cockerel

    For sale is a young rooster for mating. He is a purebred black French copper maran (hens make the dark brown to chocolate colored egg shells). We bought two, but one ended up being a Cockerel. We would love to keep him, but town ordinances prohibit roosters. He is about two months old and is...
