    I have a coturnix quail that is not standing up. Breathing fine, eating and drinking but not standing...looks odd. I am not home and have a pet sitter there. I have separated and given electrolytes in water...any ideas. . I have a Youtube link with video: https://youtu.be/vzlP_FNy8kA

    Sexing and Separating

    So, several questions from a new-to-quail but want to continue with them Chicken gal. 1) How early can you sex your quail? I bought some to go with some that I incubated, and at the time the lady that I bought them from said they were all female. It seems dumb now, but they are not (to the best...

    Quail Size differences at almost 2 weeks old

    I incubated and hatched 3 chicks...kind of a fail on my part because I had 14 eggs. I decided to pick up some chicks that were born on the same day as mine that were born, all Coturnix Quail Chicks. They are not supposed to be jumbo, but I am seeing a pretty dramatic size difference between mine...

    Do I need to use a dish with marbles and water or is my Quail Waterer 1.5 cm trough sufficient to prevent drowning of quail chicks in the brooder? Nervous.

    Opened incubator during hatch for 3-5 seconds...

    I had a quail chick get caught in the space/trough where the mechanism is for the turner (I have a roller-style turner). I waited for some time, but it was stuck and it wasn't getting out on its own. I had to lift the lid and gently nudge it out and I had cut a piece of foam which I jammed in...

    How do you maintain focus during lockdown? Day 16 going into Day 17 Stay-at-Home Quail Incubation

    So, we thought that it would be helpful to encourage some fun during our stay-at-home school and work during the Pandemic if we incubated quail instead of picking up chicks. We have always done day-old chicks (chickens) or re-homed chickens, which makes this our first incubation project and our...

    Cape and Saddle Feathers Look Frizzled

    I have a Black Copper Marans Rooster whose cape and tail (feathers on back in front of tail) feathers look frizzled, almost more like long matter fur than feathers, and the neck skin is bright red.
