    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...

    Introducing Older Quail to Younger Quail

    Hi everyone! I’m currently incubating coturnix quail eggs that are meant to hatch in about a week. However, I’ve been candeling them and only about 3 look like they’re going to hatch. I was really hoping to have about 6 quail, so I started looking online for chicks for sale. I found a local...

    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...

    Cannibal Coturnix

    Hi everyone- we have coturnix quail. We started out with 4, got 4 more, and now we are down to 3. We lost some to magpies outside. Today I found a really disturbing sight. Two of my quail had their heads sticking out of the cage with open, bloody, wounds. The other one had blood all over her...

    Bringing Coturnix Quail Chicks Home

    Hi guys! After my last failure of an incubation, we decided we would go ahead and buy some day old chicks of a fairly local breeder. But the thing is, they live about 20 minutes away and my dad was concerned about this: Would the chicks be alright in a 22C car for 30 minutes on the ride home...

    Types of Coturnix Quail?

    Hello, I've been looking into raising some Quails almost purely for eggs (not meat). I've stumbled upon quite a few Coturnix Quail breeders in my area. However, they all appear to be throwing around terms like "Jombo Brown" and "Pharaoh". How do I decide which one to choose? Do these different...
