I have a rooster and 11 hens, 3 male button quail, 4 male coturnix quail, 10 female coturnix quail, a dozen juvenile coturnix quail (male and female), and 13 4-week-old coturnix quail (male and female). Right now all 6 pens of birds are just eating unmedicated chick feed because that’s all I...
I have five 7 day old button quail and I feed them using this big red water feeder, but whenever I place them nee water within 5 minutes they fill it up with wood chips and I have to keep refilling it.. can I just leave it like this, can they drink out of it?
Hey guys, I have some button quail eggs I’m trying to hatch. I have the incubator set at 99 and humidity stays between 45-50%. I’ve read that it is supposed to be either 99.5°-101.5° but my incubator does not do half degrees. Sorry, I’m not the most articulate or the most in order with my...
Splay legs, curly feet, malformed quail or chicken feet. This has been a game changer for me. Build an easy cardboard maize. Put newborn button quail or Coturnix or chickens with splay legs or curly feet into it.
They heal in a day or two. I used to think these were genetic or dietary...
Hi all!
I am extraordinarily bad at identifying button quail colour morphs so I’m hoping you good people would like to have a look at my newest quail and give your opinions!
Below are 3 birds (2 pics each). I’m most interested in the weird silver/brown combo. I have 3 like it and they all...
So I made a whole new post with better pictures. These are my hatch. They are odd colors so I was wondering if anyone can identify what color they will be? THANKS :)
Can anyone help me identify what color these chicks may be? I’ve never seen these color variations!
These are the same chicks in both pictures just with different numbers
Does anyone want two-three button quail males? I don't have anyone to really give them away to and I have way too many males right now.
I have way too many and no one near me really raises quail. One is splashed (grey/black and white), another is red-breasted wild, and I am assuming one is a...
Many quail have the reputation of being the "clean up crew" for the floor of aviaries. This article will go over some of the myths and points of keeping quail in aviaries with other avian species, this focuses mainly on small parrots but some points may be relevant to others such as doves...

Sexing King Quail
If you're reading this then you probably already know it, but King quail can be VERY complicated to sex, especially for new owners. You'll most commonly read that males will have a red vent, blue breasts, or a bib...
I have a trio of 6 month old male button quail. I have had them on Turkey/quail starter. Should I change them to another feed? If so, what can I buy at TSC?
Hello! I am in search of Button Quail in Saskatchewan. I live in Saskatoon but I'm more than willing to meet elsewhere. I am most interested in young chicks or hatching eggs, but would consider adults too!
Hi All,
Im hoping to get some help with identifying what colour morph one of my male Button Quail is. I suspect he’s a golden pearl but I’m not well versed in the morphs and identifying them. Thankfully I have a standard wildtype to compare him too!
A few of his interesting traits are

Hey guys, im just starting off my adventure with button quail. Im hatching, so they will be in a brooder for a while. However, I am starting to look at cages/runs. I want to put them outside more in the summer but have them indoors during the winter due to the harsh climate. This inquiry is...
I’m completely new. I don’t own any button quails yet but I want to know what to expect. Where should I get them? What food should I get for them? What should their enclosure look like? How much should I feed them? What’s the best way to get a pair to breed? What health concerns should I know...
They make a great hatching project, but aren’t the best the best pets due to their temperament. They are very low maintenance. See my article here for more information.
I was told that all three are males and that the last is a cinnamon pied.When they were younger I was told he was a cinnamon red-breasted.As for the first two, when they were younger I was told that they were cinnamons.Now the breeder who sold me the eggs said he would need to see a better...
