I am a current owner of 3 Japanese quails (male) who have not been getting along recently.
I love my quails and have been giving them as much as I can provide. I have been having issues being allowed to build a large outdoor aviary for them and have been keeping them in a 43in x20in area (Large...
I am a 17 yr old from Michigan who is a current owner of quails.
I grew up in Mexico with my family (I am mixed) where my grandmother owned a ranch full of chickens, geese, ducks, sheep, and goats.
For a science project I purchased 35 quail eggs from a local farmer (Japanese Quail) and hatched...
My quail have been fighting and some of them have gotten injured and now they are in separate areas. I let my quail outside in an aviary sort of place and let them get some fresh air. I thought it would be a good idea to keep one male and one female together but they have fought and even the...
What can quail not eat thats outside. For example dirt, plants, and bugs because they pretty much eat everything they see. Also on a side note, sometimes I see my quail poke their heads up in the air and they open their mouth and looks like are trying to swallow something. What are they doing...
My male coturnix quail is plucking his feathers and I have NO clue why. He should not be under ANY stress. He has plenty of food and water, and lives with other quail... What would be the cause of this?? Its so sad to see him like this. Any ideas to make it stop?
Seeing as it's winter, wild birds always like stopping by for food and water in our chicken run, though we always scare them away when we see them. Normally, it's just a nuisance, but now we have multiple quail attempting to live in our (small) coop with 5 other chickens (2 Delawares, a...
So, we moved our quail outside a little while back, and have started to notice a strange bug hanging around that is really bothersome. This same bug now shows up inside sometimes (our birds are just on the porch), and I think it might be biting? It looks like a very small moth (visible to the...
So I believe this type of quail was originally bred from Coturnix, but I'm not sure. I've seen pictures of it, and it's a sort of snowy-black and white color (like a fuzzy screen). Any ideas on what type it might be?
Thanks!
My birds are now about 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 weeks old (three are older than the rest). They have most of their feathers in, except for the runt. We've moved them out of the brooder into the big cage now, but my question is: when do we take off the heat lamp. Our place is air-conditioned, so I don't...
