What's wrong with my coturnix hen?
I don't think there's been any head honking going on I have actually hardly ever seen them startled and nothing has preyed on them in a long time. Her poop is runny and coats her underside and butt now:(she is a plump girl but not extremely so. Besides her symptoms she looks perfect no missing... -
What's wrong with my coturnix hen?
My poor girl for the past couple of months has been sitting over in the corner sleeping or walking around with her eyes half closed. She's just in general very lethargic she still eats and drinks some and there is no bullying from the other 6 hens who she is with in a pretty big coop with hay... -
In spring when do coturnix quail start laying again?
I don't do lights during winter so in at the beginning of November all but one of my seven quail stopped laying. When do they start laying again in the spring? I'm getting pretty impatient at this point. There haven't been any food changes or stressors, they look great, and are very spoiled. I'd... -
What is wrong with my quail chicks?!?!
We hatched out 11 coturnix quail from eggs our quail had laid one week ago. One was weak and died a day after hatching so but we still have 10. About 2 days after they hatched I noticed one had a slightly crooked neck and everyday that goes by it gets more crooked and there is a definite bulge... -
Quail rooster's back of the head and neck/chest looks puffed up is that normal?
Ok idk what was up with him but his head isn't puffed up anymore just his body a little bit so maybe it was just his way of showing off since he's also eating again -

Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore
Just wondering since more ppl see this thread if anyone can help me. My 6 week old coturnix rooster has had a puffed up back of the head and neck/chest area. I'm wondering if it's just him puffing his feathers up because he's in heat or what since he has started crowing this past week. He's been... -

Quail rooster's back of the head and neck/chest looks puffed up is that normal?
Well not sure how good you can see him but I'm worried he's been sleeping pretty much all afternoon and hasn't eaten anything. -
Quail rooster's back of the head and neck/chest looks puffed up is that normal?
My quail all turned 6 weeks old this week and my rooster started crowing about a week ago. I'm wondering is he puffed up weirdly like that to impress the ladies because he's in heat or something or is something wrong with him. It almost looks like he had a cone head in the back with his feathers... -
best guard geese that are still friendly?
We plan on buying some acreage and building a house in the next few years and i like the idea of a guard goose on the property instead of a big dog. I have 4 and 5 year old boys who will obviously be older by then but regardless i would like to not have to watch out when by the goose (i have not... -
4 week old quail old enough to go outside?
Okay I put them out this evening. It's only getting down to 67 tonight so that should be more than fine. I've never seen them so happy they went straight to doing dust baths and walking around exploring! -
4 week old quail old enough to go outside?
I looked at the 10 day forecast and it shows a couple of nights dropping down to the mid 50s and the rest are in the mid 60s. During the day it's upper 70s and low to mid 80s like it has been for weeks. I have 5 jumbo coturnix and they have outgrown their Rubbermaid storage container in the... -
2 day old quail chick choking?
One of my 2 day old quail chicks keeps randomly shaking it's head then stretching it's neck out with its mouth open. Is it choking on something? If it has something in its throat does it naturally work it out or do I have to help it?- emcrowder

What is the best red bulb for a quail broader?
Can anyone give me brand names and specifics? I have got to stop this pecking one way or another. It's crazy to have to have 3 different "brooders" for only 5 little quail chicks! -
Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore
Okaaaay so....whole new range of problems. I finally had chicks hatch today but only 5 of the 23 made it due to being upside down and unable to get out of their shells (some were just yolks though). So these chicks have kind of become a nightmare they are pecking each other trying to kill each... -

I emailed him no reply yet. I candled several and the entire egg was in shadow on all of them. I also put them up to my ear and could hear and feel movement and one even chirped! It's day 19 I don't understand why they will not hatch or even pip they all seem in good shape. This is so frustrating! -

I'm just not sure how I would go about assisting them since they still haven't pipped. I will try candling one and see if it is upside down though. I'm going to see if I can figure out how to reach Robbie. -
Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore
The only thing I can think of that may be causing difficulty hatching would be that I discovered on day 7 that I had them wrong side up in the incubator (pointy end up). As soon as I realized it I put them the right way do you think that would cause them to not be able to hatch? This is... -

Well it is now the next morning and still no one has hatched they are just moving. I'm not sure what to do they still haven't pipped or anything can they not get out?!
