But I'm seriously considering giving up on the quail. I retired from work recently, so I have plenty of time to keep them up, etc., but the one thing that pushes me towards getting out of it, more than any other thing, is the brutality of these little demons. I understand there is a such...

... until there's a reason not to, I think my girls will get all the things I used to toss. Deer ribs tonight...

The image may not be the best, since it's a pic of the monitor for my cameras, but I think you may be able to see the hawk staged in front of my quail enclosure. First time this has happened, as far as I know.

My quail journey started when I was gifted six quail in November of last year. I gave away two males, but one female died within a few weeks. One female started laying eggs, but died soon after. The remaining female started laying, once she was the only one, so it began there, one female...

Are Coturnix quail limited to one egg per day? I have 10 mature quail, and get between 8 and 10 eggs each day. And usually, they are laying between 5 and 7pm each day. I got 11 eggs today.

Perhaps a thousand times, but I'm looking for advice for my specific situation. By chance, not choice, I have a breeding pair of Coturnix quail on the ground of an 8x10 coop. In a three level hutch, within the same coop, I have a male and three females on one level, a male and six females on...

I have one batch of quail that will be eight weeks old Saturday. I know I have one Male and at least two females (coz I'm getting two eggs/day), but I don't know what the other birds are. The known Male is the only one crowing. I'm not really learned on breeds, but I believe the Male is a...

I'm trying to avoid having to build something to cover the feeder, so I'm hoping for a low cost, safe and effective (where have I heard that before) way of keeping the top of my feeder clean. I know chickens tend to poop on everything, and it normally doesn't bother me that they do, but we had...

Since all my chickens are the same age, I'm posting this in the Quail subsection. I'm sure it could apply to any animal group. To date, I've hatched out three sets of quail eggs. Currently, I have some birds that are seven weeks, some that are four weeks, and some that are four days old. I...

I have about the smallest Brinsea incubator they make because long, boring story... Needles to say, my 3rd batch/hatch/flock/covey started hatching last night. There were four (out of eight eggs) hatched before I went to bed last night. Now, the are a total of six. Two eggs remaining. I do...

I have one adult (real age unknown) Texas A&M "type" quail, and just as a few minutes ago, a three week old A&M that are "backing up." When I say backing up, I mean, they all walk forward, right? Well, these two birds will learn forward, the back up, or walk backwards. Neither bird has seen the...

What are y'all doing with it? I don't have a garden this year, but we have a bunch of landscaping bushes and trees. Currently, I have about a week's worth of poop in an oil drip pan, and it's being added to by the minute. What can I do with it, besides dump it over the fence, into my...

I have a new group of eight Coturnix quail. I know I have at least two males, by way of feather sexing, but there may be more.They are about 5 1/2 weeks old. I have one adult male already, and I've heard him crow before, but he's been fairly quiet over the last couple of months. I've noticed a...

Hi friends! New Pee Dee region member here, although I have used this forum for info numerous times, over the last few years. I started my backyard chicken adventure sometime in 2016. I was gifted a TSC brand coop and four bantam chickens. I added a run, so they could enjoy more room. I...
