    Hi everyone, I have 5 month-old coturnix hens in a backyard flock of 6. They've been together peacefully since the same hatch and have been excellent layers all summer.

    Quail poop -is this normal?

    Photos included of my drop tray. Not sure what to make of the squiggly poos, especially one very yellow one. They're highly gelatinous, for what that's worth. I'm hoping some of you can help diagnose. I have 6 young and 1 one year-old coturnix hens, all of whom have been laying daily with the...

    Poop Analysis, please!

    I purchased 6 coturnix hens yesterday from a (NPIP) breeder I haven't used before, all between 3-6 weeks of age. All acting healthy, and for the most part the droppings are the round, brown, white-capped birdy poops you'd expect, but I'm seeing some dodgy poos too and would very much appreciate...

    What's wrong with my quail?

    Hi guys, I hope someone might have ideas for me. My backyard coturnix flock is currently 5 hens. They are wonderful girls, about 6 months old, who lay almost every day. 2 days ago, one hen started acting lethargic and not interested in food. That evening, she produced a soft -shelled, mostly...

    Quail Wing Injury -what should I do?

    This morning I discovered a bunch of feathers in my quail run, and know that it shouldn't be moulting time, so upon closer inspection I discover an injured wing on one of my goldens. I've attached several photos. She's carrying the wing ok and the underside and structure seem fine, but a bunch...

    Anything wrong with these beaks?

    All these birds seem happy and healthy, and maybe I'm just a silly hypochondriac, but I feel like their beaks all look a little different and I wonder if they're all variations of normal? The blonde has had that red spot there for at least 2 weeks with no change. I just noticed that the brown...
