My 1 male coturnix quail has stopped crowing now that it's cold. I actually just took to the forum myself because this is my 1st winter with quail. It's seemed to be thought it's because winter is not a natural fertile cycle. In Australia you should be wrapping up summer soon no? Personally I...

It's what I use all the time. I will attach 3 pics and hope it helps. I keep a quail egg pulp tray in there as they love to crawl around. Carrots for hydration, and a screen bottom for shaking eggs. That's picture 1. Picture 2 is how I hold the drawers together with 1 hand on top of the drawer...

Ok great. This is my 1st winter with quail. We were out of ideas on keeping them safe from the elements when they kept avoiding the attempts we made. They seem to be fine here in the house, just all calm and laying together. I just worried if it would mess them up when they go back out in a...

It's probably not the greatest of picture since I just this moment took it from my porch, but a better explanation. The 1 pen covered in plastic is where they were over the summer. We did plastic to shield them from the wind, but they just went to the spot that was left open for air flow. So we...

A Also here is the screen shot for our weather advisory, maybe this helps you understand our temps batter. Ad I said, the winds is what will be putting us in the negatives

I posted it to someone else, but I'll do it here for you as well. This is their hutch. The door they are in is their closed off sand box area. However this picture was from when we 1st introduced them into it. They don't actually go inside except to get thier mealworms. I don't know why that is...

Yes they have a hutch. I will attach a picture. Where they are inside is their sand box area. There are 2 sides to the hutch. The picture is when we 1st introduced them into it, it's not common for them to all gather inside. They tend to stay outside for some reason, even during the cold. Again...

TN. The wind is what is going to drop us in the negative. Yes this is a drastic change and why I was so worried about them

So I should have left them in that kind of cold? I probably should have asked before I did so, but I was just worried about them. I have NOT kept any light on them to keep them laying. It's not something I personally want to do. They will have winter breaks

It will actually be warming back up after this cold snap. It will be warmer than what it was, almost in the 60s

It's been a while since I've had any questions, but I have 2 now. We are getting ready to get into bitter negative degrees temps and we just went ahead and brought all our jumbo coturnix quail back into the house. Even though they have a hutch and a place to get out of the wind, I just felt that...

It's been a while since I've had any questions, but I have one now. We are getting ready to get into bitter negative degrees temps and we just went ahead and brought all our quail back into the house. Even though they have a hutch and a place to get out of the wind, I just felt that was too...

I haven't read any of the comments so please forgive me if I reply with some of the same information. Getting them soon when? While coturnix quail can lay eggs in the winter personally I advise against it. They quit laying in the winter naturally due to less daylight. Giving them more light to...

I would love an update on the chicks please

I found it and posted there. Thanks.

I was just looking for answers for my female quail. I moved them from a ground pen to a hutch because I feared they would freeze this winter. Since the move the girls are unhappy not being on the ground and keep getting out. I wanted to know if they would survive a TN winter on the ground, but...

Yes I knew they were doing it for warmth. I had used the same light from their brooder in Hope's it would encourage them in their house, but it never did. I just know they are unhappy now. They never tried to leave their pen, now that's all they do. It's hard to get them fed, watered, and...

Ok, I'll see if I can find it. I still don't know how to fully use this site. I found different threads before and can't remember how

I had a heat lamp in the house for them when they 1st went out at 6 weeks old. They never went in and just bundled up in a corner. I'm afraid they will do that again. We thought about insulting sheets, but my husband fears they will pack at it and get sick, even if we put it up along the outside

It's ok, I didn't come for judgement as to the steps taken to protect my family and garden they destroyed while on my own property where I should have a say so. If it were a dog attacking us no one would bat an eye for doing what was needed for safety. I only mentioned it because I knew someone...
