Seeing as how it seems that we will have an actual spring this year, I've decided to redo my run. It is an 8x3 foot run, currently only housing 1 lone male valley quail (getting more this spring/summer when the sellers come back up). We have freezing winters, and scorching summers (-20 to +30)...
Help someone! As some may know I have my PET quail (cali.) whom I have hand raised since birth. He was asleep on my bed while I was finishing up some essays on my laptop (I'm also on bed) and I noticed some blood in his poop. First thought, something from the uterus or some egg- related thing...
Hey all, so I've finally found someone in my area with two valley hens for me and my lil' man, my question is, How exactly should I quarantine these two? I can't think of anything I could use as a temporary cage, as we sold out dog crate, and cat carriers are too small, so I guess I'll have to...
Recently (yesterday) my quail has been having diarrhea. up until now it's been normal brown with possibly a bit of white (didn't look to close ) but today while he was sitting up by the computer with me I noticed a yellow- creamy milky looking liquid on his poop- place. He has unfortunately...
Today we did the "yearly cedar trimming" to the cedars that go around the perimeter of our yard. The problem is knowing how toxic cedar aroma is to quail (and many animals) and how my quails run is located right infront of the hedges on one side of our yard, that I was wondering how long I...
Hey all, I have yet another question .Does anyone know the correct dosage of vitamin B (I use B1, if that matters) for an adult quail (cali.) if the feed doesn't contain any. I assume it doesn't because it's not on the nutrition or ingredients. Up till now I have just sorta been putting in...
Hey all! I'm not sure if my quails molting or not? He's losing his tail feathers, though i'm not noticing much other feather loss (though most of the other feathers are small enough to not be noticed as much). He's a male valley quail and he'll be a year in august (it's may ). Does anyone have...
Hi all! Today i noticed a cut on my house quail's foot. It's not bumble foot (i think) because it's a open wound not a dark scab.
Housing
Indoor cage- aspen bedding, L-shaped, 5 1/2 feet *long*, 14 inches high/wide and i took the sand out so it wouldn't get stuck and extended his fleece...
Hi all! I'm wondering if i could let a pea plant grow up the side of my quails cage? (to help cool for wind protection) Are the leaves and all okay for them to eat? This seems random but i'm just wondering. I think they're snap peas btw.
Hi all! I've heard about how bad it is to try to ship eggs/birds across the border so I was just wondering if anyone has coturnix (and/or female valley -one) eggs or bird (about 20 ) for sale in canada???? Preferably hens but a couple roo's too. thx

1. I have my pet valley quail and in the spring I'm getting courintix (?) , ya i did start out with only wanting my one quail but nooo they're too addicting , and I'm just wondering if there could be any diseases transferred...
Hi again, OK so come spring I'm planning on constructing a coop/run. It would be a "playhouse" style coop with some modifications because instead of chickens it would be used for California valley quail. The run will be 6 feet long x 4 feet wide x 6-5 foot tall slanted roof. This will be the...
