    Button Quail Male

    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...

    Questions about keeping button quail.

    I live in an area that in winter drops below freezing (to the teens to even the negatives sometimes) and rises in summer to the 90's. I am wondering if I keep them in a draft-free enclosure could they live outdoors? What about feeding? Eggs per year? Also, what about keeping them with Coturnix...

    Weird bump on my quail's toe

    A beginner quail-keeper here... I have just noticed a weird bump on my female button quail's toe. She is walking fine, but I know that they're prey animals, therefore good at hiding weaknesses. It is a bit swollen and she keeps her toe slightly titled compared to the other toes. I have no idea...

    New Button Quail Chicks

    I just got 10 button quail chicks 2 days ago. They had just come out of the incubator that day. I’m struggling to get them to eat and drink? I don’t know if I’m expecting them to eat and drink more than they’re going to? They’re currently just curled up together by the heat lamp not doing much...

This morning I...
