    To commemorate the start of my journey...

    I've started my backyard adventures with quail. I got my first covey in February and kept a couple keepsakes until I had the time to build a little memory box. I completed it today and will be hanging it up in the kitchen!

    Quail Egg Size Differences

    The left most egg is from a "pharoah" jumbo, also I believe called "wild". The middle two are from my 2nd covey, a fawn collection with pearl fees, manchurian and italian coturnix. The one on right was a first egg laid by the 2nd covey.

    Egg snacks for pups

    Quail on side, won't stand

    I woke up to find one of my quail laying on side. She kicks, moves wings, but will not stand. I've separated her, the rest of them look fine, it was just her laying on her side. Anything I can do for her or will I have to unfortunately put her down? She and the covey are in a 5x1' wooden...

    Only 2 Wks Old and Chasing Other Quail/Bully

    I've seperated them for now, but my quail turned 2 weeks yesterday and there is one that has been chasing the others all day, keeping them away from the water bowl and just generally chasing.

    Starting my quail journey!
