What’s the noise?
So I have one coturnix hen that I haven’t been able to successfully reunite with its sisters after being attacked by my roo so she’s been living inside. I’ve had her enclosure kept directly next to one where my lone gambel is (it’s partner had to be culled due to a severe dislocated leg) so that... -
Now I have a lone gambel. Could use some advice
So I made a post yesterday about my gambel chick with a dislocated leg. It didn’t get any better so I had to cull her earlier today. It was hard, but I know she won’t suffer anymore. The issue is that it now leaves her sibling alone. I have two other gambels from that hatch but no matter what... -
Gambel chick with injured leg
(Cross posted to the injuries section as well) So I’ve been raising my four gambel chicks and they’re all just over 2 months and now. Two of them are attached at the hip to me and two are scared to death of me. I just did a check up on all of them yesterday and they were all looking happy and... -

Gambel life span?
So I’ve found conflicting information. I’ve seen places say they live for about a year, and others saying they live a few years. A single year wouldn’t make much sense imo since they only breed during summer which means they’d basically be on death’s door by the time their first mating season... -
Lone adult coturnix
So I originally got four celadon chicks and they were all doing great until one started to weaken 2 months ago or so. I separated it and it miraculously bounced back, but would cry constantly for its siblings then every time I’d join them back, she would get pecked at by one of them so I had to... -
Found baby pigeon or dove, need advice
So I was brought a baby dove or pigeon today by my mom since I raise quails. I don’t know anything about raising baby birds like this, so I plan on taking it to a rehabber tomorrow. Until then though, what do I need to do to make sure it stays alive? I’ve got it in a temporary brooder that’s...- Jannbo

Why do chicks jump into open mouths?
I have two chicks with curled toes that have been separated from the others for their own safety, and cause of that they’ve become extremely attached to me. I’ll take them out to handle them and let them sleep on me with my hand over them to hopefully keep them this tame as they get older. I... -
Chick scared of hatchmates
So I have 5 healthy and happy gambel chicks, but one hatched today with curled toes. The others were walking all over it in the incubator so I took them all out and brought the disabled one out so I could fix its toes. Well it took about an hour and the chick was scared so badly by it, but it... -
Gambel eggs day 24 no pipping
So I bought 24 gambel eggs awhile ago and they’ve been incubating for 24 days now. I checked them all before starting incubation and some looked they had quite developing early, but most were still looking good with a decent air pocket at the fat end of the egg. I haven’t heard any noises from... -
3 and a half week old quail struggling
So my quail that’s the runt of the four I bought has had quite a few issues but he’s had something starting since yesterday. Both yesterday morning and today he wouldn’t stop crying in the morning, like nonstop. There was clean food and water for them, the temp was good, the brooder was clean... -
Gamble egg hatching questions
So I’m getting some gambel eggs in today and I have a few questions just to be sure I’ve got everything set up right. I’ve got a nurture right 360 set at 99.5 and 45% humidity (the little control window is open all the way), and I’ve confirmed those numbers with two Govee Bluetooth... -
Quail chick rejected by siblings
So a few days ago I posted about a 10 day old coturnix chick that was looking really bad and wasn’t growing at all. I separated it to its own brooder and it bounced back after getting electrolyte water and vitamins mixed in. Now they’re all 5 days old and while he’s still about 3/4 the size of... -
Slower growing chick won't go to warm side so hecan be with siblings
I posted this last night I'm the raising chicks forum by mistake and I'm just copy and pasting it over here as the issue has persisted. I've added some more info on at the bottom though about what he's doing today. So I have 4 coturnix chicks that are just now 10 days old. They've been fine... -
Baby quail wont go to warm side, wants to be with siblings
So I have 4 coturnix chicks that are just now 10 days old. They've been fine mostly besides not liking it when I move them to clean their brooder and one being extremely vocal. That one that is extremely vocal is really concerning me tonight. He's stayed a lot smaller than the others and his...- Jannbo

Getting baby quail to not panic as much when picking them up?
I got my coturnix chicks when they were 5 days old and they are now 9 days old. I know quail tend to not like being picked up, but these guys have pretty major freak outs if you do anything more than gently nudge them with a finger. I've only picked them up to move them to a temporary container... -
One chick chirping much more than the others
So a few days ago I had my first experience with raising quail when my mom brought home a lone gambel who's parents had been killed and didn't have any siblings in sight that we couldn't get a rescue to take. Unfortunately he passed from a seizure while I was holding him to take the poop covered... -
Gambel Quail Rescue
So I came home from college the other week for the summer to spend some time with my mom. She's a teacher and her classes are still in session. Today they found a baby gambel quail in the girls bathroom. Both her and I are no strangers to baby birds so she knew what to do. She got it away from... -
