    Wintering Quail on The Ground Advice?

    How should I go about wintering my quail pen? Will they be ok if I just throw a tarp over them or rig up some kind of tent structure? I’m mostly worried about them getting buried under snow, but I’m in Canada so we can get -30C.

    Giant White Coturnix Meat-Makers "AKA Fryers"

    So the other week I was reading up on the history of the Broiler Chicken and thought, why hasn't there been anyone raising quail for this purpose? Essentially, a larger than average bird that can easily be raised in a backyard that could be a substantial source of protein. So with nothing else...

    Are Quail able to lay fertile eggs year round?

    If I kept a breeding trio of quail together (one rooster and two hens) would the eggs stay fertile year-round or are quail limited to a breeding season. I am trying to figure out how many eggs I could hatch in an incubator year round. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    More males than females question

    We recently got 10 unsexed Bobwhite quail from a local guy who hatched too many. They’re several weeks old now and although they’re still getting their feathers in, it seems we may have 8 males and only 2 females. We would REALLY prefer to not butcher/eat them as we got them for pets and our two...

    Blue Scale Quail Chick With Leg Issue

    Hatched some Blue Scale Quail about a week ago and currently have 5 in the brooder. One of them had some leg issues starting out and we were hoping getting into the brooder with the sand would help, but it seemed worse today. Is there anything we can try or do to help him? He's still trying to...

    Baby quail feeding

    What can I give to my baby jumbo coturnix quail to compliment chicken starter seed? I wasn’t aware that they needed more than chicken chicks and only just read that they need more. Do they actually need more, or are they ok as is?
