Roo or Hen? Jumbo Egyptian Coturnix
I’ve got 18 Jumbo Egyptian Coturnix Quail. They’re about 3-4 weeks old. Trying to feather sex them all and this one is difficult for me. Chest is bare like a male but spotted around the sides. This is the only one that looks darker or black almost. I’m assuming it’s still the same breed. This is... -
Quail bedding or wire?
I actually have a ring camera in a drawer not being use. Thanks for the input. Didn't realize the females could be like this. So far, raising coturnix quail has been tough, lol... My chickens are getting along great, though! -
Quail bedding or wire?
Could someone help, please? I've had a group of 8 coturnix German pastel quail in one setup. Two of these were male. I figured that might be too aggressive of a male to female ratio but gave it a try none-the-less. Everything seemed fine while they were starting to mature until one weekend. I... -

Quail Pens are still in progress. Go ahead and give me your inputs, though. I've got four separate cages, 2 in the front (top and bottom) and 2 in the back (top and bottom) that are not pictured. Each cage has three rooms. The center room is fully enclosed except for the hardware cloth ceiling... -

I found this DL Method and giving it a try. So far so good, but I've only had my 4–5-week-old coturnix outside for about a week. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/quail-on-deep-litter-why-it-works.832431/ -

Hi, I'm new here
Thanks for the article. I've got a 15-week-old cockerel that is starting to show his dominance over a young flock. There has been zero aggression towards me or my family. Should I expect this to change once he fully matures, or is it possible to have friendly roosters without any training/work...- Creede

That is legit! Very creative. I'm learning you can create habitats out of so many different things. -

@catesquire Do you have any pictures of your quail setup with bedding that you would be willing to share? -
Pullet is stumbling backwards! Help!
As of today, this chicken is moving around and jumping up like a normal member of the flock. I have no idea what changed. About 1-2 weeks ago she still looked rough as ever and we were letting nature take its course. Looking back on the entire situation, idk what I learned. No idea what was...- Creede

Very nice. I’m hoping to setup something very similar -

I love it. Thanks for the thorough explanation of every feature. There's a lot here to take and make my own or modify in some way. Is the LED Lights and controller a package deal or separate items you purchased? This stuff is readily available I assume. -

Sounds like a pretty good setup. Thank you for sharing. Do you have any photos? -
Pullet or Cockerel lavender Cochin?
Quick update for this thread. Pilot is definitely a cockerel. My wife caught him practicing his crow the other morning. Sadly I still haven’t heard it… In addition, his spurs are starting to grow in. There’s a small bump on each leg. Not to mention, he just outgrew the entire flock (with girls...- Creede

Pullet is stumbling backwards! Help!
Somehow, she's still living. She looks terrible getting around, but she gets around. We incorporated two more chicks about 3-4 weeks younger a while back. Those two and Trudy tend to stick together, but Trudy will peck if they get in her small radius. Occasionally I'll help her into the coop at...- Creede

That is a huge raccoon! As I was reading the story, raccoon was the primary suspect. I've heard of stories where they just reach in and pop the heads off of chicks. Apparently quail too... Sorry about your loss. Do you keep that many bobwhite quail together through breeding season? I heard they...
