    Mr. Wu

    Mr. Wu is a Button Quail rooster I have for a pet/watchdog. I have had button quail as pets before, but never a rooster as a pet. Without going into all the weird things about him, there is one thing in his behavior that concerns me. This little guy is Preening (scratching) almost constantly...

    Quail and scratching

    Hi! I have, on a good day 40 Valley Quail or on a bad day 30. I have no idea where the other 10 go on the bad days. It has been very entertaining hatching and raising these birds and certainly a learning experience. Presently, they are 5 weeks old and the little turds scratch even more...
