Recently my quail has been closing her right eye a lot and yesterday when she opened it there was lots of grey goo in the corner of it. I keep cleaning it out with a cotton swab and warm water but it comes back a few hours later. She has also become quite lame and isn’t walking very much- for...
Hi there,
My young female quail (around 10 weeks) has had her vent prolapsed which I noticed as she was not laying any eggs.
I have separated her from the rest of the group and put her in a warm, quiet room with scrambled eggs and quail mash. I tried to use saline solution to clean the area...
Hi there,
So this morning when I went to put my quail outside I discovered that one of my male quails had been picked on by the other male quail, receiving a nasty looking head injury. I took him down to the vet as I was unsure how to help him and wanted him to get the best possible treatment...
I have a quail hen about 6 months old (I got her in April earlier this year) who was healthy and fine until two days ago. We kept her along with three other quails out in the coop until the past weekend when we put them in the cage inside our garage due to forecasted rain. Out of the blue about...

this baby is about 24 hours old. I fear she has a slip tendon or rotated femur. She constantly gets stuck on her back and has lots of trouble eating and drinking without complete assistance. I’m worried she’s in pain as she...
I know you are supposed to mix different types of quail, but I’m wondering if I can mix some female coturnix quail with my flock of 4 female and 2 male bobwhite quail? I’m not sure if there’s going to be any issues since I’ll only be adding females. The bobwhites are quite docile.
Hi everyone,
My name is Lisa. I’m in California and I have about 30 Coturnix quail. I’ve been raising them for a little over two years now. I’m a new member but not new to the site. I’ve had a lot of questions and concerns about my quail over the past 2 years and I have been fortunate enough...
Hi everyone, this is my first post on here because I need some insight from someone more experienced than me in this "field".
I have two button quails (male and female), they are now a little over two years old, but just about 6 days ago the female became broody.
She kind of tried in the past...
Hi!! New to quails. I’ve noticed these last few days my quail is slowing down and saw this on her foot. Not sure what to do :( please advise - no farm vets near by.
Hi I’m new to keeping quail. This morning my dog got out and tried to jump on the quail cage. Unfortunately one of my quails was injured. She seems to be walking around ok I have her in a cardboard box in the bathroom. Her foot looks swollen. There was blood on the cage but I wasn’t able to see...
I am new to hatching bobwhite quail eggs. I thought this whole hatch was going to be a dud because they took 4 days to arrive in mail and it was freezing out in Alaska. I’m seeing development at 4 days of incubation in almost all 43 eggs after setting for 24hrs. I’m curious if I should be seeing...
My 13 Coturnix Quail chicks are going to hatch in a couple days and I am wondering what I should feed them. I have a 20% Organic and Non-medicated chicken chick starter and I have a 36% poultry supplement. I could mix those together to meet their protein requirements. I also have some chia seeds...
Looking for my first egg incubator to hatch quail eggs. I am willing to pay more if I will have a good survival rate. It will be my first time incubating eggs (quail eggs) and I don’t want anything too hard to use. I also am not at home all the time, so maybe one with an egg turner. Thanks!
Hey, I can’t find any organic quail feed in Canada. What should I feed laying quails and what should I feed pet quails? I found an organic non-medicated chick stater that is 20% protein. I want to feed them organic feed. Thanks in advance!
How many eggs do California Quail lay a year? Do they lay all year long? At what age do they stop laying?
Has anyone let their California Quail hen hatch her eggs herself also? Thanks in advance!
Hello! A few days ago my hen kept closing her left eye. A few days later a white film grew on her eye. Any ideas of possible ailments?(and treatment) I separated her from my other quails for the moment. Pictures provided below :)
i’ve recently gotten some quail… i’m unsure if the males will fight over females or not. i do have two males so i’m wondering if i should split them up at some point. thank youu!!
i’m pretty sure i have coturnix quail too (idk if that changes the answer or not)
