    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...

    Coturnix quail sexing and color variety

    Hi everyone, I hatched my first batch of coturnix quail eggs about 2 1/2 weeks ago and am wondering if you have any opinions on gender and color variety these babies might be. I have heard it is easy to sex them at or around three weeks (especially the pharaoh) typically due to their feathering...

    Can Coturnix Quail Be Kept Outdoors In Winter?

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering, could Coturnix Quail be kept outdoors (in Illinois) during winter? They would obviously need some sort of shield to block from wind, snow, etc., but would they need a heat lamp? Any special extra-protein diet? I probably won't be getting any Coturnix for a...

    Help with coturnix quails?

    So I have two quails that I'm not 100% sure about the genders of. I've suspected that my oldest is male because of the noises he's making. (They're only 1 day apart lol). I'm not sure about the younger one but since its quieter and calmer we think it's probably a girl. However, the male has been...
