Can I handle quail when I’m sick?
I know. This is quite a silly question. I’m just wondering if I can touch my quail while I have a fever, because I don’t want them to get sick. Thank you in advance :)- Qquails899

Bloated coturnix quail chick, help!
My 2wk old Coturnix Quail chick is slightly bloated around the abdomen, I'm not sure how long it has been. I bought four chicks a couple days back and I have noticed this one is slower and smaller than the rest. Any ideas on how to fix this?- DuskShadowDraws

Greenhouse aviary?
Does anyone use a portable greenhouse structure to keep their quail? How did you fortify it?
