I have way too many eggs in my refrigerator. I have 2 pet quail that lay every single day, sometimes the younger one lays twice and in just a week, we have 12 or 13 eggs. I have no idea what to do with them. Any thoughts?
I just got home from school and I found my 5 month old Golden Quail super weak and she couldn't move an inch by herself!
-Possible causes:
Last night I bought some hamster bedding for the quail. It's 100% natural, birch shavings and it has no alterations, no sawdust. She ate some the previous...
So today, my 2 month old Coturnix quail Cinnamon started laying eggs. She laid 2 eggs in one day, believe it or not and the first one was normal, just like any other, but the second one is what I'm a bit concerned about. It was an almost completely oval shape, and it was 2 times smaller than the...
My quail just laid an egg and started pecking at it, and then ATE THE WHOLE EGG RAW!
Is this normal? Is it mentally okay for the bird? Please let me know!
Here are some pics:
I put her back in her cage because she wanted more.
I introduced my 3 month old Golden to my 2 week old coturnix and they started taking it out on each other. My golden one keeps pecking at her over and over again, but she other one retaliates by making wierd croaking noises.
Please help, my quail are freaking out.
Well, we have 2 quails and 1 I got on Saturday, we've been keeping her in quarantine for the past 5 days now and she is showing no signs of worms or sickness, she's sleeping properly and overall she's a healthy bird. Should I join her with my other quail or wait until 10 days?
So I live in an apartment and I own 1 single golden quail. I know that we need more, 2 or 3 but my mom says that 1 already makes such a mess (it doesn't, I clean up everything she does) then what will we do when we get more? I've tried convincing her I'll do everything required but she won't...
Well, I woke up this morning and my quail's poo wasn't right. It was pitch-black and she wasn't doing this yesterday night. It started today. I read that black poo means internal bleeding or intestinal infection but that's for parrots and I don't know if it applies to quail as well.
ANY HELP is...
So recently I have been studying about chicken breeds and I found the Cornish cross. I took one look and noticed that either the feathers were missing, broken or dirty. Why is this so?
-Thanks in advance.
Haha well I joined in August this year but it keeps prompting me to introduce myself so here I am. I don't own any chickens, I own 1 beautiful golden quail who lays a lot of delicious eggs. I have a passion for birds, parrots and finches in particular. I am still a student in 8th grade; trying...
So recently, I have been using coconut husk as a substrate to house my single golden quail. (I am getting her a friend in a couple of months, don't worry,) I know that that is okay, but what about the meat? Can she eat the meat? I've heard it has some essential oils and improve egg quality, but...
So my quail started molting (or plucking I'm not sure) a week ago. She started dropping under feathers and now she's dropping tail feathers. She's preening a LOT so I don't know.
So my 3 month old golden quail started laying daily eggs. So far she's got 2 eggs in the box but today she laid one with strange coloration. Maybe its because of stress because they're doing a lot of loud construction near my area. I do give her lots of calcium in the form of seashells...
So yesterday I was watching tv and I noticed that my quail was making strange sequence of beeps like a fire alarm. I dont know what this means if she's scared or something.
So my quail has been acting up lately. She hasn't left her cage in a long time and whenever she tries to poop nothing comes out. She also does lots of random head movements.
So yesterday I got a new quail chick to raise and she's about 3-3 1/2 weeks old. Most of the time she's sleeping and only wakes up to eat and drink water. Please tell me if she has a disease or not and if it's contagious to other quail. This is what she looks like.
Hey, I have a young female quail right now and I keep her as a pet and also for her eggs. She is quite lonely though, so I want to get another female for her. I want to know if they're going to fight each other or become friends. Please help out.
