Free Ranging Quail Experiment
Hello, I’ve started letting two of my quail free range every day between 10am-4pm (to avoid prime hunting times for hawks, cats and owls). My two boys LOVE it. They hide in the tall grass and wander around pecking in the grass. It is a bit of work to round them up and catch them at the end of... -

Quail and sheep
I can’t find anything on google about keeping quail with sheep. It would be about 30 quail and 2 miniature sheep in a 200sqft area (sheep would not be in there during the day as they would be grazing the grass, but would be in there from dusk to dawn). -

Lone quail chick
I only had one chick survive out of my last batch 😢. What do I need to do so that he doesn’t feel so lonely? Will he be ok? Can I put one of my adult hens with him? -

Chick not growing
These two quail hatched the same day, they’re over a week old and the little one doesn’t seem to be growing. Seems to be doing well overall, eating, drinking, alert... just not growing. Any suggestions? -

Egg Bound or Constipated quail?
Need your help again friends. I took one of my quail out of the coop because she was acting egg bound; lethargic, straining to push something out, panting. But after some warm baths with Epsom salts she had some very large solid poops. Do you think she was just constipated or should I keep up... -

Disappearing quail eggs!
My quail have been laying eggs for awhile now, I noticed one acting broody and sitting on her eggs so I decided to leave her some. There were two. They were there for a couple days, one morning I checked, they were still there then I checked a couple hours later and they were gone. Without a... -

Best Quail Bedding for Hot environment.
My quail are in a ground pen but I live in Arizona. The ground right now is just dirt which they seem to love. They make little holes and sleep in them. It’s starting to get a little smelly so do I get more dirt and cover it to start making compost? I’ve heard pine chips are too warm, would sand... -

Best Automatic Waterer for heat
I’m going on vacation for a few days and plan to have someone stopping in on my quail once per day but I’m still scared they’re going to knock their water over and dehydrate in between visits. What is the best automatic waterer for quail? And also I live in Arizona so suggestions on keeping it... -

Quail Chicks not under heat plate
My quail babies are a week old and I moved them to their bigger cage for a little more space. In the smaller space they would all sleep under the heat plate. In the bigger space all are under the heat plate except for 4 of them are sleeping together in the middle of the cage. I do live in... -

Male or Female?
Really struggling with sexing my 4 quail. They are not ones that can be determined by color. One for sure is male, it is mounting everyone and crowing. Two of the other ones are crowing as well. Only one is not crowing so hoping it’s a female. The venting has not been going well. I guess I... -

One quail chick seems to be bullying another. Should I be worried?
My 4 quail are 4 weeks old and one of them has been a bit of a bully from day one, but lately it’s gotten worse. They’ve been picking on one in particular and not letting them eat. Chasing them off every time they go near the food. Is this normal or should I separate? I’m guessing two are female... -

4 chicks hatched day 18, did float test on rest day 23, do I assist?
4 chicks hatched on day 18. They got fluffy and were racing around the incubator, knocking all the other eggs around and playing with each other so I took them out and put them in the brooder. Remaining 12 did nothing. On Day 23 I took them out and float tested. 2 didn’t develop but remaining... -

How high can baby quail jump?
This is my brooder made out of a dog kennel and boxes. The boxes are over a foot high. I know the bars might be a little wide for newborn chicks so I added the boxes. My question is will they be able to jump the boxes and get through the bars or will they be big enough to not fit through by the... -

Male and female quail together
I am going to be raising quails for eggs and the person I will be buying from said it’s ok to keep the males and females together and as long as you rinse the eggs and put them in the fridge they will be fine for eating. Just want to make sure this is true. I’ve just read that with chickens... -

Do you prefer Chickens or Quail?
I am starting a backyard homestead and wanted to get 4 chickens. I am permitted to have hens only in the area I live and have been building my chicken area. I recently started doing research on quail and am wondering if that is a better/easier route? If you had to choose one or the other do...
