coturnix quail

Hello, I'd love to get in touch with anyone raising quail near the NY tristate area. I'm in Brooklyn, NY. I would love to buy whole quail from you. Feel free to DM me!

Okay, so I’ve seen plenty out here saying place the cage with new quail besides existing quail cage and wait til they get used to each other. I haven’t found anything that would help me with my situation..:..help! I have a large cage with a male and two female coturnix. They are all...

I have a male coturnix quail that will be around six months old very soon and he is the only quail I have. I've realized that he is probably very lonely and he crows a lot but due to other stuff in my life, I am not able to get any more quails. He roams around my house and has food and water in...

Okay. So my quail has a huge swell on her joint. And it’s not going away. It has doubled in size over the weeks I don’t have an avian vet near me at all. The closest one is 200 miles away or so. They just are not common in my area. I saw someone on here who lanced their birds and I cannot find...

I work at an aviary that houses Chinese Painted Quail as a little cleanup crew. It is a public facility in a very tourist driven city and we get many visitors a day. This makes some of the quail a “stepping on” risk, unfortunately. Due to this issue, our employees supervise and protect quail...

I have one about two-week-old Jumbo Brown Coturnix quail chick that has a leg/foot injury. I'm not sure what's wrong with him/her. S/he is really, really strong. S/he walks (hobbles) around to get food, water, and gets where it is warm, but s/he isn't walking like the other ones. We bought...

Hi all, please help me out.. i have 2 coturnix quails at 2½weeks old. I have no idea what sex they are. Photos attached.

Hey all, As a flower farmer, I have lots of leftover flower and herb offcuts that I'd like to recycle into my quail enclosure as litter or stem hidey hole teepees etc. I'm using the deep litter method and trying to make their habitat as safe and comfortable as possible. I have read up on the...

What would you call that color? I agree that the chick looks like a Pharaoh, but she (I’m manifesting hens to help my ratio! 😂) is DEFINITELY EB, and likely roux given the color of her beak and legs. My rosetta/Tibetans and my scarlet’s had much less pattern as chicks, only my falb, egyptian...

Hi there! I've been stalking this forum awhile but just joined. We originally wanted chickens, but decided we would better fly under the radar of our extremely strict HOA with quail. We got our first 8 coturnix quail in April 2022 and have learned a lot from many rounds of challenges (trouble...

Hello everyone A while ago I posted about my quail who started limping in september, a few weeks after her toenail broke off. I think it’s getting worse and the leg that she uses for getting around started swelling up. She probably also had scaly mites so the vet gave her a drop of Ivermectin. I...

I currently have 2 coturnix quail. A male and female to be specific. I'm not trying to breed them, I got them as pets. Is one female enough, or should I get a few more hens? I heard that they can breed them to death if they only have one hen, but this is my first time raising coturnix quail, so...

Good evening, I had rescued a male Coturnix quail on Sunday afternoon; originally he only had a head/eye injury, but come Monday morning his left toe on the left leg and right toe on the right leg were swollen and bleeding through the skin. The tip of the left toe is now shriveling and black...

Hello all I’ve had this coturnix quail for about a year now, and she’s been having problems. She started constantly panting a month after I bought her, we’ve been to the vet but the medicine he gave didn’t help. She also has difficulties swallowing…I’d attach a video of that if I knew how to :/...

I’ve actually counted 11 (of 26! 84% of the eggs incubated were still ticking along at the start of lockdown! 🙌🏻) hairline cracks… of COURSE the first obvious pip is at the wrong end though 🙄 Quail chicks: always working hard to die under even the most ideal circumstances! 😅 I’ll keep y’all...

Hello all, I have an almost 3 year old coturnix quail and a young one (about a year old). Yesterday my old bird looked like she was struggling with something, almost as if she was trying to lay an egg. She stopped laying at the age of 2. Today I found this thing in the cage, I have no idea what...

We have hatched quail chicks and a few I want to mark to make sure I can tell them apart from the rest. Would loosely tying yarn around their feet be a good idea? Thx,

Aka: how blue does a blue egg need to be before its Celadon?! 😅 I bought these off EBay, from a woman who keeps I believe it was around 100 birds, mostly Pearls (though it says she has some pharaoh, Italian, and pansy fee)… I didn’t pay Celadon prices, nor were blue eggs mentioned anywhere but...

Ha! Okay, so, our 10 quail have been in this DIY monstrosity for almost a month now and now ta actually going really well so, I thought I would share :) The footprint is the 3’x5.5’ sandbox area of my kids existing playscape for several reasons: 1. We weren’t using it anyway 2. It provided a...

I have 14 coturnix quail and for the most part, I'm not super concerned with the type. I know I have a silver and two tuxedos but overall, I just enjoy having them. But there is one I'd like to know about, mostly because it's my favorite. This is Techno and they're so sweet but looking at color...
