Sexing Coturnix Quails
I have a few quails I hatched that I have been having trouble sexing. One is a light color and the others have both speckles and a partly brown chest. Could I get some help? Thanks! I’m pretty sure #4 is male but I’m having issues figuring out #1, 2, and #5. -

Help! Identifying Coturnix Quail
We brought home week old coturnix quail and were told they were jumbo wild and pharaoh. Doing more research (because now I’m obsessed!!) I am not quite sure. I have several darker colored and white colored ones who don’t seem to fit the profile of jumbos/pharaohs. Any help would be appreciated! -

Quail with swollen eyes
Today when I got home, I took a look at my quails and found out that one of them has swollen eyes. I immediately took her to the local vet but the problem is that he is known for misdiagnosing animals. He said it is an allergy and gave her some kind of injection. I hope he was right, can someone...- Qquails899

Weird droppings
Today I realized that something is wrong with one of my quails. Her droppings were quite unusual. Very watery with urates and foam. She also poops more often, like every 4 or 5 minutes.

Is this bumblefoot? Please help!
Today when I picked up one of my quails I saw that one of her feet is swollen. I soaked her feet in warm water and I took the photo afterwards. I've already seen bumblefoot on a chicken but I have no idea what to do. Is this even bumblefoot? What should I do?- Qquails899

Eggs?? Crowing???
So my male coturnix has started crowing, and has been for about 1-2 weeks. A lot today I’ve noticed. Should there be eggs soon because of the crowing? How are the two related? Thank you :D- AkinliAdventure
