Baby quail falling down/unbalanced..? Hen has the same problem too.
Hey, we recently hatched out a batch of quails in two incubators. It was around 60 eggs and only 25 hatchings, we had a few casualties along the way. The chicks are about 3 days old and we have noticed one particularly wobbly, he has 0 coordination and doesn't walk. His legs seem perfectly fine...- Tea_Birbs

COTURNIX QUAIL
I purchased some Coturnix quail, 14 and I can’t tell how to gender them. They are 4-5 weeks old. I checked their vents and I didn’t see any boys. But going off of color and patterning there should one or two boys. When should I expect them to start laying? I’ve seen mixed information on that aswell. -
