    Gender?

    Hello, I have one sweet quail from my most recent hatch. I thought he was a male due to his colours and was going to keep him but when the other males started crowing and mounting Chrys hasn’t done any of that. I’ve tried squishing to see if any of that white foam comes out(which again works on...

    Help (injured quail, possibly graphic photos)

    Hello, I need some help with what to do with my quail. She had a head injury and had half her scalp pecked off. It was hanging on barely as a flap and I cleaned her up and gave her a bandaid hat to keep it clean and everything in place. I expected that as she healed it would re-attach (I had...

I am raising my first quails (like first hatch ever) and I sadly only have one healthy successful quail chick, I want to get some more chicks but the breeder will not have them ready for pick up until the 1st.
