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?
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!
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?
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...
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...
Hi guys! This is mostly a placeholder for now because I'm sleepy but if I don't get started on it I never will. These are all going to be links to individual threads for most of the major colors and their combinations including links to all the information we can scrounge on the genetics and a...
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.
Hi everyone! I wanted to share the new coop/run we built for my coturnix quail. They are 4 weeks old today. There are 11 of them in total, with 2 definitely being males (they’ve been crowing). I just wanted to post this to see if anyone had any feedback/ideas/suggestions? We’re totally new to...
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...
Hi again! Boy oh boy have I already posted a lot of questions :rolleyes: But everyone has been so helpful, I thought I'd ask another.
I have 10 Coturnix quail eggs in my incubator right now. Today is day 13 and I plan to lockdown tonight. However, I've been noticing a bad smell coming from my...
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...
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...
Hi everyone!!
I’m very new here, just bought an incubator and 10 eggs and am currently incubating them. I’m only on day 3, but I candled just one of them, I know it’s too early / I probably shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help myself! I’m so excited! Anyway, I took a picture, and I know you...
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...
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...
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...
