Alright, mixed story I wanna share, and pictures later if nothing goes terribly wrong.
A couple nights ago, our chicks that hatched last Saturday had an accident in their brooder. One of the Italians tried to get on top of the brooder plate by squishing between it and the back wall, but he got...
So I have a 150 square foot chicken run with 3 chickens and their coop (but planning on adding 1-2 more chickens) and was wondering if I could put a raised quail cage inside the run? I haven't been able to find a straight answer, hoping you all could help.
^ This is the one I have now, but...
I wasn't able to find anything that quite addressed my problem, so new thread. I'll post pictures tomorrow when I check on her again to see how she's doing.
TL;DR: I have a young adult quail with a dislocated toe and mild bumblefoot on the mend. Am I gonna pull this poor baby's toe off putting...
I have a some male coturnix quail that I am looking to rehome. They are six weeks old in colors of various rarity. Eggs they were hatched from were purchased from sweet_tweets_quail assorted hatching eggs on ebay. They are all generally friendly, and have been handled a lot since they were...
I am looking at getting into raising Coturnix quail in PA but can’t find anything that that mandates the requirement for a possession permit. Only one I see is for Bob White quail. Can anyone help out and provide any information or helpful links to answer this question? Also any rules about...
I purchased a 16 Egg Incubator from Amazon called the Kktect or otherwise known as "Safego Egg Incubator for Hatching Eggs, Digital Mini Incubator with Automatic Turner and Egg Candler Tester for Hatching Chicken Duck Quail Bird Eggs (16 Eggs)"
I have noticed a few things and I have...

Praying for pullets! We’ve hatched out more cockerels than pullets so...
I just set eggs and if they hatch what color will the chicks be?
Here are the roos
I call this color Scarlett, but is that right? His back got beat up when he was in my pheasant coop with other male quail. He's in with the hens now.
I wish to utilize horizontal drinking nipples for my jumbo coturnix. This being a half-cooked notion, I looked around the interwebs and found a cheap bag of no-name, plastic threaded ones. These seem way, way too tight for my quail to use. I could see chickens using them, but… nah, not quail...
Hello everyone! I am new to Coturnix quail and have just finished my coop, I have a couple questions.
#1 My coop is 6x8 feet and I want my birds to be comfortable-NOT crammed. How many do you think I can have in this enclosure?
#2 Can I have artificial plants in my coop? I heard they love logs...
The other Quail is a tame female coturnix quail named Oak, last year her only friend another female quail died, we planned on getting her another quail but decided not to, recently I haven't been able to give her all of my attention and I know Oak gets lonely and she is a social bird, so we plan...
I've got two old quails (both are no longer laying), Octopus and Tsapa, who have quite a few health problems and I was wondering wether anyone has advice for some of their issues.
Octopus has -what we believe is- gout on her feet and we've been giving her chopped salad and buckwheat in addition...

Hey! I've been going thru and finding different feed info and I KNOW I'm overthinking it.
Can you guys help me out a bit and let me know what food you feed yours with? And what extras or 'snacks' they enjoy having in their diet in addition to the normal feed ?
I found the starter grower I...
We have coturnix quails. We'll be introducing the new quails to our outdoor run/coop as soon as they're old enough (right now they're 5 weeks old) and since they'll eventually be sharing the same food with the older quails, I'm wondering what they can ALL eat? The only feed store near me is...
