    Our Pretty Quail

    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...

    Single Quail Not Laying

    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...

    Newbie intro

    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...

    Strange lump on end of tail?

    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...

    Japanese Coturnix Falb-Fee Discussion Thread

    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...

    My quail can't get along? URGENT

    I have two female quail that are having trouble getting along. For context, I have a wild coloured one called Rigby and a Italian coloured one called Butter (Rigby is slightly larger in size). They have laid eggs so I know they are both female. Rigby was hand -raised alone, while Butter was...

    Quail fighting very strangely

    Hello, for the past couple of months I've been raising three Coturnix quail in a roughly 18 square foot outdoor enclosure. Recently they have been fighting but not in the way you'd expect. The two females seem to be bullying the male as he is the only one missing feathers on his head when I go...

    Long time since posting! Missed you guys! My first set of quail chicks this year have begun hatching today. So far 2 have hatched on their own, and 2 assisted, and one I was too slow to assist. They get a pip hole and then get stuck. I’m not sure why the membranes always get dried out and...

    Planning quail aviary

    Hi everyone! This is my first post here. I have decided to get into keeping Coturnix quail for their eggs. I've decided to go with an aviary style enclosure, because from my research, a wire-bottom cage can harm their feet, and a hutch ceiling is too low. I also like being able to observe the...
