Recently got an interest in collecting poetry about coturnix quails. I havent found much, but I thought it might be worth posting about here in case anyone has similar interests. All replies to this thread welcome, including poetry of your own! I'll update it if I find any more quail poetry...
Hello to everyone! I've been keeping indoor quail as pets for a couple years now, and all the knowledgeable folks on this forum have helped my family so much by sharing what they know in articles and other threads. I recently got some new hens from a local breeder and wanted to make an account...
Hi,
We have 4 six-week old coturnix quail that I was pretty sure were male, but yesterday when my brother and I went out to check on them two of them were missing their head feathers and another one looked like it may have lost a few, but not too many.
If you all could just give me your opinion...
Hi! I am new-ish to raising cotournix quail (about a year in). I am an esthetician (skincare) and have struggled with acne in my twenties. After becoming an Acne Expert I found out Chicken eggs are an acne trigger for me. I made the swap to quail eggs and my skin has made leaps and bounds...
Hey guys!
Something broke into my quail coop and killed all but one quail it’s like they just disappeared out of the coop minus some feathers outside of it. Idk what even got in really? The holes to the coop are so small…
Anyhow…
I don’t want the single quail to be lonley and was wondering...
I am new to incubating coturnix quail eggs. I have been incubating them in a non-insulated shop. At first the eggs seemed to be doing OK, but I had to adjust several things such as the temperatures that I stored the eggs at before I placed them in the incubator. Now my biggest problem is that...
Hi! I have a female coturnix quail, around 2 and a half years old that isn’t moving much. Could it be illness or a deficiency of some sort? I have no idea. Something may be wrong with her legs or that she did not get enough to eat. Here are some facts:
She can limp around, but only to eat and...
Hi ! I have quail that I got 3 of back in mid December at about 2 weeks old. One male and 2 female. Over the past couple of weeks, one time being just today, she’s killed 2. I thought the first incident was the roo, but now I think differently as I saw evidence on her. I brought home 3 younger...
So, I'm incubating my first clutch of coturnix quail and it hasn't been smooth, honestly. We've had a few heat spikes and our home doesn't have A/C and then the incubator was accidentally unplugged for a few hours, though the house was still fairly hot, around 27-28 degrees. I was prepared to...
Hello, I would like to know about a coturnix quail farm in Canada that sells me fertile eggs. I am very interested in the colors of the quail. Thank you :jumpy:wee
Can anyone recommend a good grit for coturnix quail chicks? I want to start giving them treats (hard boiled eggs or fruits and veggies) but I need to buy some grit first I think. I saw probiotic chick grit for sale, but I think it’s for chickens. Would it work for quail chicks too? They are a...
So in think iv finally figured it out. Vanilla bean is blind, or damn close to it.
she Had always been the odd one out in the coup nervous and twitchy but really easy to catch. About 2 weeks ago she got herself stuck in the feeder (top fill type) and was there most of the day far as I can...
Day 4 of incubation. I have 5 quail eggs I'm trying to incubate for my first hatch. Out of the 5 I think 2 are infertile because they lit up pretty thoroughly when I tried candling them (but this is my first hatch so I'm leaving them in the incubator in case I'm wrong). The other 3 are...
