    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?

    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

    Plants for Quail?

    I swear once you start getting birds, you can’t stop. Chicken math doesn’t just apply to chickens, in my case it’s pretty universal across all poultry and fowl 😂 Because of all the extra time I’ve been spending at home (ha!) I’ve decided now is the time that I would like to add Coturnix quail to...

    Help, my quail broke her wing!

    My coturnix quail flew out of the cage and I found her on the floor all fluffed up, gasping and with a broken wing. I think she is in a shock so I put her back into the cage and put a hot water bottle next to her. What else should I do? Please help!

    Quail becoming aggressive

    I have two female coturnix quails. They were good friends and they were always next to each other until yesterday. One of them started to act really weird, she suddenly attacked the other one and now she's screaming at her as well. She is also losing feathers and panting all the time, which is...

    Water coming out of beak

    My quail is drinking a crazy amount of water and eating less. She's been doing this for a long time but now I see that water is coming out of her beak more often. She shakes her head before that. What can I do to stop this?

    Is it possible to potty train a quail?

    I keep two quails as indoor pets so I'm curious if I can potty train them. If it's possible, how do I do it?

    Quail drinking a lot of water

    I just dewormed my quails and now one of them is acting very weird. She is more active than before, but she drinks a lot of water and her droppings are very watery. I also saw water coming out of her beak a few times. She has been like this for like 5 days and I don't know what to do. Please help!

    Quail stopped laying eggs

    One of my quails laid a thin shelled egg about 15 days ago and she hasn't laid since. The other one is screaming every time it lays an egg, and tonight the one who stopped laying screamed two times the same way but there is no egg. What should I do?

    My quails look ill

    I got my first quails about two weeks ago, two female coturnix quails. They were seven or eight weeks old at the time. When they arrived, they were not eating enough, standing with ruffled feathers and eyes closed almost all day. I thought it was because of the recent change of home. They became...

    Quail with lump on head?

    I am concerned about my coturnix quail. She lives in the bottom of my aviary with four other quails; three are her daughters who she's just finished raising, one is a rescue I introduced yesterday. They are all girls (only one I'm not 100% sure about). I just noticed however that she has a lump...

    Mixing Quail Breeds

    What color egg and type bird will you hatch if you mix a coturnix and a celadon? I have coturnix quail now and thinking of adding celadon to our flock but wasn't sure what we would get if they mix breed.

    Possible rotated femur?

    Around 3 weeks ago when the chick first hatched I noticed she was shouldering signs of spraddle leg and had thought that I’d fixed it. But just recently I’ve noticed that her right leg extends outward, at first she would fall over, but still be able to walk. She’s now unable to walk. Is this...

    Double Air Sac? - Coturnix Quail

    Hi everyone! I’m on day 9 of my quail egg incubation journey, and i’ve started to notice that a few of my eggs have this double air sac thing going on. I’ll attach a picture. The egg in the picture originally had a normal air sac, but it has since grown into this. Is this a bad thing? Does it...
