king quail

I noticed today that one of my females that has become one of my males favourite to mate with had a swollen looking head that seems to be pulling her eyelids up. I felt it and it is hard, not fluid filled like an abscess. Anyone know if she will be alright?

Hi there, I have a question about this type of egg and what causes it! Note that these are king (button) quail eggs. I just got an unusually completely white egg, and another completely without a shell, which is soft and spongy! This picture is attached Please help me about this. Thanks.

I have a female king quail who today I noticed was being picked in by her male. He’s always been super sweet so I don’t know what got into him, but she’s a bit roughed up. While I was checking her out, I noticed both her eyes seem to be a bit strange, it almost looks like the top eyelid has been...

I work at an aviary that houses Chinese Painted Quail as a little cleanup crew. It is a public facility in a very tourist driven city and we get many visitors a day. This makes some of the quail a “stepping on” risk, unfortunately. Due to this issue, our employees supervise and protect quail...

Hi there! I'm raising a bunch of king quails and I realised that they have this cute little habit. They'll be walking around and then suddenly dropping close to the ground, almost like lying down flat, and tilt their head while chirping happily all of a sudden. Not really sure how to fully...

My button/king quail eggs had arrived earlier today! This is my first time hatching out quails and i’m both nervous and excited. I will be using the rcom 10 pro without the auto humidity pump. The seller has some interesting mutations, can’t wait to see what they look like. I ordered 12 and got...

Yesterday i added two hens to my flock :) (Let's ignore the fact that I have no other birds aside from button quails) I DID consult with the breeder, he has no issue with 2:1 ratio in his button quails as long as the cage is big enough for both hens to build nests, if it doesn't work out i have...

I just got them, they are in the house right now, but I want to move them to my aviary which is in a side building. Right now I am keeping about 8°C for my parrots. Is this enough for them?

Hello everybirdie, i love showing off my many species of birds. I happen to be very lucky and bought from a source that breeds tameness into buttons! And, of the two babies I hatched (first timer’s blunders), my little assumed tuxedo male is very friendly! i wanted to make a thread following...

I recently saw a plea on facebook of someone who managed to have a quail wander into their apartment. After they shoo-ed it out three times, it kept returning. So finally, they asked for help online. I have a bit of experience with quails, and currently have six. I decided, why not take it in...

I have a female (im pretty sure) king quail who is well beyond the age they begin laying, but she has never laid an egg. She was fully feathered when i got her (just over 10 weeks ago) so she is an adult, and I’m like 95% sure she’s female. She’s a silver king quail, she has no bib and has the...

Hey guys, First time posting here. We're fairly new to keeping Quails but we just hatched our second ever clutch of King Quails. 12 healthy babies hatched out; one that only hatched out a few hours ago looks like it has a splayed leg (but we're allowing it to just walk around on the bedding to...
