    Baby Quail Chirping Loudly - Cause and Solution?

    Hi, I have 3 baby quail, all ranging from six to eight days old. For some reason they sometimes chirp really loud. Not the normal chirping, or even slightly louder. Just super loud, louder than my alarm. What does this mean, and what could it be caused by? Note: they stop chirping loudly when I...

    Strange growth on one of my quail's feet!

    I'm a new quail owner and I noticed something strange about one of my pet quail when I was cleaning their cage. I haven't noticed this growth before. I don't pick them up a whole lot so this mightve been going on longer without me realizing. I'm not sure if this is an accumulation of dirt and...

    Prevent Quail Drowning?

    I had 4 quail in my brooder, and the youngest was really small and frail. He might've had something wrong with him because he kept running into walls, and I had to keep leading him back to the heat source. I'm not sure what was wrong with him, but he drowned in the 1cm deep water dispenser last...

    Hi there. I am new to quail. Today, I found a quail in its cage not able to move. I must have sexed him wrong and I think he got beat up by another male. When I culled him, I was looking at his feathers. The skin underneath is yellow. Is that normal or did he have a disease. I can't find...
