I was wondering whether my coturnix quail have standard colors, and if not, what colors were mixed to result in them. Information about genetics is appreciated.
There are two generations of quail. The first generation were hatched from purchased eggs, and the second generation were hatched from...
One of my coturnix quail dropped dead out of nowhere- perfect health, she was old, except I noticed green poop around the pen. The urate is green, I think, not the poop itself. Should I be worried about my other quail? What could cause this?
Hey everyone. I’m new to BYC but have been an avid reader for months now, fantasizing about raising some birds! I got the chance to contact a local vendor and purchased 20 Coturnix Hens for eggs( my goal at the moment). I put in A LOT of work building my quail run. It took me about a week to...
Hello!
New to BYC and am getting 3 female and 1 male Coturnix Quails soon. I will love any advice about raising quails! I would also like to know what your animals are named! BYC is a great option to keep me occupied in this quarantine.
Introduce yourself!

Hi all,
I have 10 quail eggs incubating for the first time,.
Today it's their 16th day and I stopped turning on their 14th day as recommended.
I checked the eggs using the light after 1 week or so of incubation and all 10 were developing fine.
However none of the eggs have started to hatch yet...
Hey there guys! I’m new to the community and to keeping quail. My sister has kept chickens for a decade and suggested I join this great site! Psyched to be here.
I have a brood of new quail babies (jumbos, a couple goldens and one I’m not so sure what yet) and my family is enjoying them a whole...
Ive got a 1 year old quail hen whose sister passed away recently, i was wondering if i could introduce a bantam chicken of some sort to her, she is rather kind she has never attacked any bird in her life and shes so lonely but i cannot get another quail and they’d probably attack her anyway...
Hello, I keep coturnix and button quails, love both and they are awesome little buddies :) I wanted to know if you can keep coturnix and blue scaled quail together in an aviary which is about 6 wide x7 wide x12 high feet. Or can they be kept with chickens? My coturnix are separate from the...
We have four children and a few different breeds of chickens and quail. I had no idea I would fall in love with Quail like I have. We got some quail eggs from a very nice lady and hatch them out and ended up with a Texas A&M male, two Coturnix quail females and one Italian gold Manchurian...
Hi everyone! I'm a long term fan of this forum, but have only just made an account :)
I have two batches of Coturnix quail that I hatched from fertile eggs - the first batch only had one hen (a Golden Italian), and the second batch had two (a Pharaoh and a Tuxedo). There's about 3 weeks age...
I started raising coturnix quail after I was given an incubator earlier this year and saw eggs for sale. I got some info off the internet, but it wasn't until 10 of the 12 eggs hatched that I realized I needed more info. I lost 2 after they drowned in water that was in a thin lid. That's when I...
I have an enclosure with two male coturnixes, and one of them has some kind of inflamed lump at the end of his tail. It almost looks like an ingrown feather or something but it appears to be causing him a great deal of pain. He's been panting and trying to peck at it all day :(
Any advice is...
The falb-fee genes basically suck all the warm tons out of the normal pharaoh pattern, turning it into a striking cream, grey, and black bird.
Theoretically, this is an incomplete dominant, meaning that birds with only one copy of the gene will express the color, but birds with two copies will...
