    Are human-quail bonds possible

    Quail chick eye is goopy and scratching

    Hi, I have a 8 day old Italian coturnix chick (only survivor of the clutch) and it has been scratching at its face for a few days now. I thought maybe it was due to remaining membrane material that hadn't fallen off or something of those sorts. There isn't anything that is sharp in the brooder...

    Quail hatchling deformities and quality of life

    Advice for pipping quail, day 22...

    I have a clutch of 15 eggs, all viable as of day 14. It's now day 22 for my quail and yesterday we had 5 start pipping. The humidity has been between 50-70% since day 14 and heat at 99.5. Is it true it can take 12-24 hours for quail to "unzip"? Any other advice for a first-time hatcher too...

    Protruding breast bone? Hopping quail...??

    One of my girls was acting weird this AM--hopping around, noticeably different than yesterday. She laid this AM and has been for weeks, one of my first. They're ~13w/o right now. She was acting lethargic--hiding, laying with her head down, closing her eyes. (She runs when I go to pick her up)...

    My 10 week old hens live outside in a pen. Maybe 3-4 weeks ago I reinforced it with small chicken wire 2 ft up from the base after one of my hens was beheaded by a predator. (I reinforced it that afternoon.) Then, the following morning another hen had a head wound. not too bad, bloody and some...

    Unusual egg found--cause for concern?

    I have 8 week old Jumbo Coturnix hens laying for about a week or so now. Today I found this weird little nugget alongside a normal egg. I don't know who is laying as I think only 3 of my 9 are and I have t yet caught them in the act. Should I be concerned? I don't think that this is a lash egg...
