I've been looking into raising/breeding quail myself for agessss and me and my mom have 100% decided it'd be really fun and possibly even useful to do. We were thinking about having an outdoor aviary for Japanese quail for months now, but my mom is gonna have heart surgery soon and will be in...

Hey, so, really weird question. I've randomly had the silly idea of putting edible glitter meant for drinks and pastries in the dust bath of my poultry, really just because I think it'd be kind of funny. So the past weeks I've been playing with the idea, looking things up and checking...

I have currently 2 button quail roos, healthy and active. But I want to get cortournix quails for production purposes as well! I have a 2mx80cm enclosure in my living room with two layers. The buttons and my last living guinea pig (she's very old and were making sure to interact with her as much...

My quail hen Elisiv passed away a few days ago. With my second "hen" (definitely intersex, looks identical to a mature hen, bonded with my roo, but no eggs and crows) starting to mount her in addition to the roo she was being chased around a lot and apparently got some sort of blockage in her...

heyo! So im a fan of the silkie feather structure but absolutely despise the fact that they have vaulted skulls, as i would highly prefer to not have a exposed brain on a chicken from a bit of pecking. is it possible at all to breed a silkie chicken without the crest in only a few generations...

Some may remember that I was concerned about one of my two button quails being a roo. Well, my cinnamon girl has laid several eggs now and is doing well, but my double blueface hasn't produced any eggs at all just yet. Just a few hours ago I heard the one tone crow from the enclosure, (the one...

My button quail hen started laying eggs a little while ago but her eggs have started getting really thin shells! Im supplementing with oyster shell and eggshell, so i dont know what's going wrong? Any tips?

As some of you may have gathered, I intend on breeding my button quails. My general goal is to try and tame down chicks, and select a small number of them that I would then keep as pets in addition to my non tame quails. I have read that tamed button quails don't get along with each other well...

One of my button quail hens has laid her first egg!! My mom moved it into thee neest box in hopes that the ladies will get the hint lol. I assume it's jenassas (my double blueface) since it's so dark?

Alright, ive been staring at the button quail color chart since i picked this quail up. Can't figure it out. To me she looks like a cinnamon (I think because of the almost white underplumage) but with SOMETHING in there that makes her lighter. I only have ONE pic of of because she is shy and...

Mini update on my new flock members, the male started calling the new girls when I give them food now! Weird thing is though, he stopped crowing for 2 days after the girls were introduced and randomly started again at 3AM tonight. But the crow wasn't the typical 3 tone one but rather just one...

Thought id post of my glass gem corn harvest! I wanted to plant corn in my garden for about 7 years and FINALLY got around to it this year. Some of them ended up as sweet corn hybrids so instead of saving those I just cooked and ate them after harvest, pretty good meal I'd say! I harvested...

Yesterday i added two hens to my flock :) (Let's ignore the fact that I have no other birds aside from button quails) I DID consult with the breeder, he has no issue with 2:1 ratio in his button quails as long as the cage is big enough for both hens to build nests, if it doesn't work out i have...

Looking for advice on an idea i had for next year. My family and I really like turkey and wanted to make one for Christmas but we are a tad short on money so i had the idea to raise one for slaughter next year. Im working to build a chicken coup and run in my garden with my neighbors for eggs...

Ok so I had to put my button quail hen down today and i dont want my roo to be lonely. I've seen conflicting opinions on keeping 2 hens with one roo, some say its beneficial because the roo has 2 hens to mount and it avoids issues like scalping and stress, while others say that the females might...

I lost my original account so here we go again! I'm Jaeger, a german youngling, I currently have no chickens, i am mostly here for advice on quails! I currently have 2 button quails that have reached the end of their life and want to switch to coturnix quails afterwards. My other hobbies...
