    Do I need a permit to sell live quail chicks and fertile eggs for eating or hatching in NC? They’re Coturnix quail, and it would be a rather small operation.

    What colors are these quail babies?

    New to quail, just hatched these babies yesterday. Can anyone tell me what their colors are? They hatched from both Celadon and Jumbo Coturnix eggs (although not sure which came from which) 😅 Thanks!

    Molting, low appetite, decreased egg production

    This is my flock's first molt. I have a hen and rooster that hatched in late March, and 3 more hens that hatched in May. They were all excellent layers up until about a week ago, when the weather really cooled down (we're in Pittsburgh, PA) and I noticed feather loss. They also don't seem to be...

    Science Spiel: Broody Quail Hens and Selecting for Motherhood

    I'm running a little "eggsperiment," letting eggs build up to see where the hens prefer to lay. Three other hens have gone broody in the meanwhile since my girl Janey started sitting, and I've had to break all 3 (not enough partitions for that many protective mamas). But I noticed that the hens...

    What color is my quail? A brief intro to common colors in Coturnix Quail.

    What color is my quail? There are potentially dozens of color related genes in coturnix quail and thousands of potential combinations, few of which have been thoroughly studied or understood but they can be broken down into a few basic ‘families’ or groups and you can hopefully narrow it down...

    Looking for coturnix quail

    Hi! We recently received two female coturnix quail from someone who couldn’t keep them anymore. But we feel like they should be in a flock and we have a set up and everything so we are looking for 4-6 more but most sites we have looked out only offer 10+. If we could have any advice on how to...

    An instant and affordable quail aviary option?: Using pop-up mattress mosquito netting to house quail.

    After officially owning coturnix quail for a year and in our fourth generation of birds, I really wanted a large, group housing option that gave the birds more room and a more natural feel, as well as the ability to do deep litter management for the bedding, but not being a handyman or having...

    Paralyzed legs, broken wing

    Hello everyone! My coturnix quail couldn’t get up one day when my mom came home. It must have hit its head. I wasn’t home at the time. She took it to the vet, got some medicine and minerals. It’s been 4 days and the bird still can’t get up, it’s very thin but it started eating today. It can’t...

    ISO Coturnix females in N.C.

    I would like to get a quartet of laying female coturnix quail sometime this year. They would be for eggs/pets so I would like tuxedo or celadons. If anyone knows of any good breeders, that would also be helpful. TIA!

    Coturnix hatching eggs in MN? Possible ship?

    It's been forever since I've been on this forum. I stopped raising birds when a tornado took out my Seramas and I moved to a city that didn't allow "barn animals" including chickens and quail. Currently have a new incubator and I'm looking to do a quail hatch. Looking for fertile hatching eggs...
