*swoon* I think I my order some of these soon!

One of my quail chicks that hatched yesterday can't move its one leg. Or well it can move the upper part(feathered part) but the skin part is no moveable. I was wondering what I could do to help it, if there is anything. So far it is using its leg like a paddle to help it move forward. I do not...

I use chinchilla dust about once a week for them, all other days just dirt haha.

I just set some last night, so no Friday the 13th ones for me. I admit I would have waited though if I knew that Friday the 13ths was happening this month.

I marked a few eggs and put them in the spot where my broody hens like to lay their eggs. They seemed really confused at first when I put the eggs back, then started trying to pull grass and such out from outside the pen to put around the eggs. It was really cute. I put some shredded paper...

Hmm maybe I will try that. it would be very interesting. Oh and I got six eggs today. Geez I am getting like one extra egg each day haha.

Hmm I don't know, i have never tried anything like that before.

Alright, so I have five eggs today so far.

My quail hens all seem very broody, everyday when I go to collect eggs I see a female sitting on some eggs. Three of my females lay all of their eggs in the same spot(next to the ramp) while one female lays her eggs in the nesting box(she gave up on sitting on her eggs I think) Anyways though...

Alright, I will look into buying a new bulb sometime today if I get the chance, if not then I will go to the store after classes tomorrow to get a lower wattage bulb. Thank you for the feedback. Oh and I forgot to mention my quail are coturnix c:

They were getting too hot with the heat lamp, and the heating pad is keeping it was enough for them. Though when I move them to the garage I will probably need the lamp again, since the garage is colder than my room. My room is usually always in the 80's or so(hottest room in the house)

My quail are a little over a week old now, and are starting to get their new feathers. I stopped using the heating lamp yesterday, and now they are only on a heating pad underneath the brooder. The brooder is just a normal plastic tote box. I think i am going to need something new though since I...

Hahha I guess that could work, I live in Alaska so there is no shortage of woods

Wow I have really enjoyed reading through your thread(though I should probably have been looking at my new biology textbook instead to prepare for classes next week haha) I am just starting out with quail, I have often hatched eggs for other people, but this was my first year doing it for...

Alright thanks. And dang, I have no idea what I am going to do with that tuna, I became a lacto ovo vegetarian again, and no one else in my home likes tuna haha.

Also I was curious at what age to start clipping flight feathers.(sorry for all the questions)

I was curious.. Can you feed coturnix quail canned tuna(like not as a main thing, but as a treat or something)? I saw some in my cupboard and got to thinking about it, then google doesn't really seem to have any information on the topic. So what do you all think?

Thank you! They are all now starting to have new feathers come in, so I am hoping I will still be able to tell them apart in a week or so haha.

They could be roux's, I guess it is just one of those things where I will have to wait and see(won't take too long since they mature very quickly haha) c: Thank you for the picture.
