    Quail keep dying for some unknown reason - why?

    I keep my quail in my garage in stacked cage, with quail in four layers of the cage currently. Over the past two weeks I've had four quail mysteriously die, and all from the same cage out of the four. Zero deaths in the other three cages. I can't figure it out.

    Fence height for khaki campbell ducks

    Hi - I have some hatching eggs coming and want to build a fence to "protect" my driveway from the ducks once they're out of the brooder - I had ducks before and kept them in a pen at night, but free ranged them during the day, and plan to do the same. I was thinking a foot and a half would be...

    Looking for advice for troublesome quail group

    Hi all - I've had quail before but this current group of three week olds I bought a couple of weeks ago are causing a lot of trouble. About a week ago, so when they were about four weeks old, a female had its neck ripped open, which I stitched - it seemed to be getting better then died a few...
