    Feather Loss in same spot

    I have about 7 quail balding in the same spot. I picked up the wrong feed which is lower in protein than what they usually eat. The skin isn’t irritated. They’re in a 8’x10’ ground pen.

    Fertile Egg?

    I’m assuming this is a fertile egg? It’s from my Celadon. If so, I can’t wait to start hatching these.

    Male or Female?

    This one is a Pearl. I think she’s a female but I’m new to this. Is it a hen or roo? I bought 5 “hens” and 2 out of 5 are male.

    Only 1 egg Daily

    So far since Thanksgiving, I only find 1 egg daily. They’re 4 months old. Mix of Italian, JB and Caledon. I have a 8x10 outdoor coop. The male/female ratio is currently is 2:10. I have enough light and calcium. I just wanted some additional feedback.

    Terrified Hens

    I have 2 hens who are terrified every time I collect eggs or anytime I go into their ground coop. It has a lot of hiding spots but they panic and tried of fight their way out. One chipped her beak because of it. Will they ever calm down enough to lay eggs or should I just cull? One is 3 months...

    Cleaning the coop...

    These guys are so funny! They remind me of kids. :lau Deep cleaning the run today consisted of quails playing on the shovel, bag of pine shavings and anything else I had. I thought for sure they would go into a corner like last time.:gig

    Grow out and bachelor pens

    My husband built this run for the quail. I have so much room to add whatever and however. I wanted to add a grow out and a bachelor/cull pen. Should I make corner cages going up or make a ground pen? It’s an 8x10 run.

    Introducing New Quail

    The younger quail will be 3 weeks this weekend. My others in the new run are 5 weeks. Is this a good age to add them together? Any good advice? I’ve read about ACV spray and just keeping an eye on them. There will be 13 altogether in a 8x10 run.

    Arizona quail

    It gets 100+ outside but I have a lot of shade where the quail will go. Is 3 weeks too soon to put them outside in this heat? I have a couple of water baths (small) for them. 6 quail chicks

    Ready to build our run but....

    We’ve picked a spot for our quail run. The only thing I’m concerned about is that it’s about 3 ft away from our oleanders. They wouldn’t have access to them. Has anyone else built close to oleander?

    New From Chandler AZ

    We have a little over half acre and I’ve been wanting to get into this. I put it off until we found a Coturnix Quail in our yard. As of now he’s temporarily in our house (100+ outside) but I am eager to build a coop for him and get more after researching them.
