    What color is this baby quail gonna be?

    It will be a gorgeous, very dark tibetan! Do you have any quail with the fee diluter gene (like Falb Fee or Grau Fee)? I have some very dark Tibetans with fee and they looked like that as chicks.

    Struggling to sex this bird

    I agree with male and roux. This is an Egyptian Sparkly (heterozygous-1 copy) rooster. Sounds like you got a great ratio to work with. :clap

    Quail aviary ground help!

    I have used an aviary for my quail from the beginning and have used every flooring imaginable! Hands down best floor is wood chips (natural, undyed mulch) about 6-8” deep.

    This looks great!!! I wouldn’t change or add a thing, they should be very happy with the habitat you’ve created! They love both open spaces to stretch and bask in the sunshine and places to hide. You did a wonderful job being thoughtful of reducing territorial behavior with the multiple...

    What kind of quail is this?

    She is a coturnix (Japanese) quail and she definitely has a Pharaoh base… it looks like she could have Pansy, possibly Sparkly mixed in there. Both genes are assumed pattern modifiers and the Pansy genes seem to be able to hide for generations before seemingly popping up “out of nowhere”. I will...

    Under my quail pens where the poop lands are hatching some type of meal worm looking things, anyone know what they are?

    I agree with the above comments… black soldier fly larvae! 🙌🏽 The parents resemble a small wasp in flight, but they are harmless. The larvae are incredibly useful on the homestead, best composters of waste especially poo, meat, dairy, etc and things we can’t usually put in a garden compost...

    Quail color ?

    Congratulations on the new quail!! You have a nice variety of colors going on there. Unfortunately, most of these colors are not feather sexable and you will need to watch some YT videos on vent sexing coturnix (Japanese) quail. I do see at least 2 feather sexable colors in the mix: Italian...
