    After flight: Drooping one side wing, unable to retract fully. Visibility vibrating and seems to be in discomfort/pain?

    my fully grown (9 months) quails dont fly much, but when i do bring them out to the field,. sometimes they fly and maybe sometimes fly too hard? One of them has a wing that cant retract fully and seems to be in pain, not sure? Can they fly "too" hard that they dislocate some joint? Or hurt a...

    Why would hens (in a hens only pen) attack/peck each other?

    My hens have been laying for about 2 months now, and all were good and peaceful but i noticed just recently one is pecking quite aggressively at one of them (this one is abit smaller also). And this smaller one is clearly scared and runs away when the larger one approaches. Why could this...

    Is this long high pitch call a sign of a broody quail? (video)

    this unique long high pitch call seems to happen either laying of an egg or right after laying an egg. i noticed she is also "somewhat" sitting on an egg (you can see abit of the egg in the video on the right), but usually not for very long. anyway she stays with this position, with mouth...

    Deciphering Adult Female Quail Calls, low pitched call (video inside)

    Just cleaning out their cage and let them freely run around my garage: Curious, what is this low pitched "UUURG" call made by the black one. Sometimes they make this call too when I give them some very yummy earthworms. Are they excited? https://photos.app.goo.gl/ULiexDjWtk6QVJwH7 I know this...

    Is it better to have 1 solo male quail or 2 male quails in one cage?

    Got a flock of ~8 week old quails. I had to segregate an extra male since I found there were actually 2 males and it caused some stress to the whole flock. One was particularly bossy/aggressive. So I currently segregated that one to a cage very far away. and now the flock seems much more happy...

    Male chasing , how much to tolerate?

    Please see video, there is one male that seems to bite holding the back of the necks of other quails fairly aggressively. Tho, no feathers ripped nor blood so I guess I can let it go. But this is quite frequent, once per 30 minutes.. so like 50+ times per day. I'm surprised they dont tire...

    What does low pitched frog/duck like sound mean? (opposite from happy chirps)

    have a ~6-7 wk quail and i sometimes hear a very weird sound. almost like low pitched duck quack but i dont phyiscally see any of them moving their mouths so I can't tell who. also, one of them she/he (not sex'd yet) is acting slightly aggressively and i suspect it's that one. when one of them...

    Clay-colored very moist really smelly poo

    since around 1 day ago, i found some extra smelly poo in my batch 5-6 week old quails. the color is kind of maroon in color, much like clay (similar shine and consistency as well). it's abit soft and watery (but not watery that I could actually see water seperated) comapred to their usual...

    My young quails LOVE dandelions.. its in season

    seeing that there are dandelions everywhere, i picked a few and put it in. and it turns out the 4 week old quails love them, they keep chewing and chewing on it. apparently they are quite nutritious even for humans. i hope they dont over-eat on it.

    Any tips in taming 3-4 week old quail? Very skittish, and never wanted to be on hand

    ever since i got them from ~1 week old born chicks, the group of 5 generally acts very skittish. here's what i tried: -not to hover above them (i have to if i'm cleaning or swtich them out) -hold them firm but gently (when i do have to switch them out) -look at them at their eye level for ~1 hr...

    Quail Chicks (~2.5 wks old) : Watery poo right after I pick up

    its like a very wet poo, with water seperated (pee?) from the poo. but it seems they only do this when i pick them up (only for a short 3 seconds to move them to a temp place, so I can clean their space). otherwise their poo seems regular and solid when in their space. is this the meaning of...

    What does this opening mouth motion (yawn? choke?) mean?

    its not making any sounds while opening mouth this way. other than that it seems to move around and behave normaly. also, since i actually dont really know my breeds which one is at the back (almost fully yellow with a patch of brown dot on top of head) , and the foreground (speckled) i know...

    Quail 4 day old chick, what does it mean when standing tall and making 5 louder calls?

    what does this call mean? i just want to ensure they arent in distress. other than that they all seem to chirp pretty happily. also, secondary qestion. i got wild bird feed and it doesnt really say the % protein, however corn is the highest ingredient in the list. i hear that these need 25-30%...
