Very odd egg coloration?
So I keep coturnix quail only. They lay "normal" patterned eggs regularly, but today I found an unusual one. It is completely patternless with a tanish coloration. Any coturnix owners out there that get eggs like this on some occasion? Is this a quality issue or something I should be worried... -
Having trouble sexing adult Coturnix Quail
So I've hatched out a few batches of Coturnix Quail, I have varying ages now- all at least 7 weeks old up to 20 weeks old. Some are from other breeders, and the last batch was from eggs of my own. For my first hatch, at about 7-8 weeks I was able to vent sex using the foam that males produce...- SouthCoastEasterEgger

Coturnix female struggling to walk! Help!
Hi! I’m brand new to quail keeping as I inherited a batch of 31 chicks from a friend who was victim to the recent fires on the coast of Central California.

How likely is a broody coturnix?
If I hatch eggs in an incubator is there any likelihood that a female could grow up to brood her own? Are there any particular types that are more likely to do this? Thanks!- birbdabble

Best way to trim quail toenails & beaks? Share your advice & stories!
The coturnix quail toenail/beak trimming today did not go so well. They develop these hard balls of debris/poop on their toes, and their feet are so delicate that completely removing these balls isn't really realistic, at least with the tools I have. The quicks in their nails were longer than... -
Red, scaly rash and missing feathers on belly
My coturnix quail has a developed a red, scaly rash on her belly and feathers appear to be missing. I don’t know how long she’s had this. No major changes in behavior except she no longer jumps on top of her sandbox (her favorite). She still dusts in her sandbox, but not as much as before. She... -
Are anyone else's quail seemingly made of dust?
My coturnix quail are a lot dustier than my chickens. A layer of quail dust coats the rims of the coop doors, the entire top of the 4-sided nipple waterer, and probably most other places too. It can't be healthy to breathe in, so I try to wear at least a cloth facemask whenever I am around them... -
Grau-Fee Color Inquiry
I'm working on isolating my Grau-Fee lines, with the addition of the tuxedo gene. I've been expanding my numbers quite a bit these last couple months and have had some interesting birds pop up. I've been breeding for white chins/beards (split for the tuxedo gene if I'm not mistaken?), and I've... -
