    Sand vs. Deep Litter - Mite Prevention

    I currently keep 15 coturnix quail in a 4x8 aviary, which sits on the ground (but the entire bottom is also covered in wire mesh to keep predators out, with a layer of bedding on top). I've been using the deep litter method for the past 8 months and have overall been very happy with it, but I...

    Anyone Breeding Ringneck Doves in Colorado?

    I recently noticed that a couple of my quail have what appears to be scaly leg mites. Since these are supposed to be contagious, I've been treating all my birds as a precaution by coating their legs in vegetable/coconut oil every other day and adding food-grade diatomaceous earth to the coop. My...

    Aggressive Male - Time to Cull?

    Hi! I have a male coturnix I was hoping to keep for breeding/sentimental reasons. He's been living by himself the past few weeks due to a shortage of females. He is lonely and LOUD, so today I decided to experiment with putting my biggest and toughest hen in with him to try to calm him down a...

    Chick Leg Issue - Any Way to Fix?

    Hi all, I've got a 6 day old coturnix chick with a hip/knee (?) that sticks up farther than it should on one side and makes him walk funny (see pictures below). He prefers to squat or run balanced on his hocks, but seems to be able to straighten the leg more when he wants to. He hatched from...
