    Quail Foot Problems on Wire Cage

    My cages do the same for the larger birds. I rotate them through to the ground cage to let their feet heal. Most of their weight is on the pad on wire not dispersed through the toes. When they run around they are rubbing their feet all over the wire. It is not bumblefoot, I agree. It heals if...

    Scissor beaks/quail

    Hah OK. I am not sure if my girl has a crossed beak because her eye is missing or if her eye missing was a side effect of the scissorbeak! Mine likes mealworms but because of her missing eye she can't aim correctly when pecking so it takes a while! She can't do greens etc which is sad.

    Scissor beaks/quail

    My scissorbeak girl just eats what the others eat. She has picked up the knack of turning her head sideways to get her beak where she wants. Does your scissorbeak have a missing eye too?

    red eyed Coturnix chick

    No official name. Is yours darker pink eyed or bright pink eyed? The brighter pinks do have vision issues but its not so bad. Just dont put them on high surfaces. The darker ones are fine. Does yours have light patchy down too? They grow smaller than the other colours. Either due to the...

    red eyed Coturnix chick

    She has had a couple of chicks. All red eyed to a degree. I have her with a silver boy with pinkish eyes (pink at hatch then darkening, where as she stayed red) and she is producing mixed babies like her and the boy. ^in the above you can see the bird same colour as the rooster with...

    Japanese Coturnix Quail Color Varieties!!!!

    After some discussion with a few people, its come to be that the clean chest variety are being called "calico". While myself and another enthusiast disagree with the name it seems to be what it will be called. I have put my clean chested line on hold for now while I move house and focus on...

    Drinkers and laying

    They learn to use them pretty quickly. I use ball bearing type as backup water in case their main drinkers leak/are empty/ dont dispense.

    malformed chick

    Hatched my 12th batch lastnight. Had one chick who was malformed. Have hatched plenty from that combination of male and female but this takes the cake. I put it to sleep. But I was surprised when this popped out of an egg. Poor little darling. It was so determined to get out of that egg, too.

    Japanese Coturnix Quail Color Varieties!!!!

    Thanks :) Its a funny variety because it seems to change markings more than the actual colour of the bird which makes it seem lighter over all but not really all that different to the others. I haven't seen a variety/dilution that removes chest spots and leaves a clean chest without changing...

    Japanese Coturnix Quail Color Varieties!!!!

    I have some quail that came out of one of my strains where females have no chest spots. Wondering if anyone knows what these are. They are lighter than their full colour counterparts and have interesting feather patterns with a much clearer horizontal striping. They are definitely girls, now laying.

    Average slaughter age of coturnix quail

    Any time after about 6 weeks, as soon as they start crowing loud and often enough that it pisses me off. Did 5 today, now marinating for tomorrow, spared the others as they were smaller and I didnt need them right away...

    Hatching "breach" Eggs?

    Everyone always warn you not to do it, so people shy from helping the birds out- but if youve done it enough you get really good at it and there's no damage. Its time consuming. But its rewarding. Good luck with the hatch, hopefully they all have no problems and pop out nice and quick. Just...

    Hatching "breach" Eggs?

    I imported 28 eggs, 8 were viable after post. I ended up manually hatching every single one because the babies that started to hatch were unable to hatch on their own and kept drying out - 2 were dead when i got to them and 6 pulled through fine. They are now all doing well, females just started...

    Deadly IF Homozygous

    Pharaoh hens crossed to your golden /italian roo will not make homozygous babies. You are fine. Edit: If you get 100% italian babies the roo is homozygous if you get any pharaohs he is heterozygous. All your italian bubs will be heterozygous.
