It should be. You still may have some trying to prove themselves but I've never had coturnix that did real damage to eachother. Just some scraps and lost feathers now the bob whites seem to be much more scrappy but even they can be controlled.

Welcome to quailing! I find as long as they can't see females they are fine. I have a cage that has a solid decider and it works fine but I think everyone has their own methods.

So I found my feed again I have to drive a half hour each way to get it but they are worth it. For those of you in Florida what are you doing to prep for the cold windy snap coming? I have hay for them to snuggle into in their cages but its just so windy. I tyvec some of my parrot cages but...

My TSC stopped carrying it and won't order it.

So I was feeding Purina sartina game bird grower 30% with great results then the place I used to get it stopped carrying it so I had to switch to manna pro 30%. They are losing weight and eggs have dropped drastically. I found another feed store to get the Purina from I'm just wondering if...

My colors intermix in my cages that aren't separated. It's kinda of fun to see what you get.

Are you just wanting them for personal use since you want so few? Do you want young chicks or ones about lay?

Congrats! Birds are so rewarding. I started in parrots and just happened into quail and I love them too. They are such a quick reward.

You may want to get a second thermometer to see what the temp really is. This way you can adjust accordingly. My incubator is about a degree and a half hot. I will tell you that little degree in the hot direction sure made a difference in mine. I got a digital thermometer on amazon for less than...

Ive heard pine shavings are fine but not cedar. I use mesh shelf liner with viva paper towels on top. Some other paper towels are slippery. I have had problems with baby birds not just quail eating shavings and even that papper shaving stuff so I choose not to. But I know people who swear by...

Get some probiotic in them and vitamin and electrolytes until someone can tell you what is wrong. I give mine a blend of these things when they first hatch to keep most things away and give them a good start. I use progel b but save a chick might be easier for you to get locally and quickly. I...

Ive had a few pharaohs with white feathers when they were young then they lose them or they get hidden under other feathers. I cracked it up to a color variation like cinnimon but I'm not sure. I was told by another they may have a&m genes in them somewhere. I don't raise mine for specific color...

You have to check regularly to cause product formulas change

If it has it you should see somthing along the lines of a drug information plus most feed is made of things you will recognize such corn, wheat, calcium, if you don't recognize an ingredient it may be somthing you don't want them to eat.

Startena comes in both medicated and non but to get the non you have to read ingredients label. It does not say non medicated on the bag at least here. But on the label there is nothing unnatural and no meds. I will post picture of my bag if my phone will let me. I think a lot of the debate...

The no medicated feed comes from a vet who specializes in game animals. But if your experience has been good keep doing what works for you. I chose to go all natural for my own reasons so I did not dig any further. There is veterinary research on the ill effects of regular antibiotic use but it...

You should not feed quail or any bird for that matter medicated feed. Quail it cause health problems but also this is how we end up with super bugs that are antibiotic resistant.

At maturity mine go mostly on fodder of sprouted wheat black oil sunflower and any other seed I have at the time, meal worms I raise, and kale and other veggies I raise. I supplement with cuddle bone its more digestable than oyster and helps keep their beaks in good shape. So I keep the...

This one is active just not super frequent. Welcome!

I free feed oyster shell and cuttlebone. Some like one some like the other. I also feed startena since its the only thing I can get at 30% protein.
