quail baby

Hello! So first of all it should be known that I am posting on the behalf of a friend. She has had only one quail chick hatch out of the entire batch and we are worried about it being too alone. I read on another post to put stuffed animals with it but im looking for what else we can do. We...

I recently was able to get my hands on a baby button quail expecting two but I only received one and I have no idea what to do. She’s crying ever second and in her own safe hut until she grows, I only have 5 other chicks but they are far to big that I don’t want to try mixing them. Should I...

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...

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.

I have 5 corturnix quail, 3 hens and 2 roos. They live in a tractor supply esk chicken coop we've dubbed "the quail palace" as they have a ton of room to move around. A hen apparently hid a whole pile of fertilized eggs and we woke this morning to about 10 little babies. We've given them a...

I was wondering since quail lost their broodiness, can I bring it back with selective breeding?

We have a little quail buddy (4-5 weeks old) and he hangs around us all the time and begs for attention. Wonderful, we love him! BUT yesterday night as we were giving him his evening pets, we noticed he had runny wet poop that got stuck to him bum and his entire backside is constantly wet. We...

I've just hatched my first lot of quails and had an amazing hatch rate. 17 out of 19 fertile eggs hatched!! I would just like some help identifying what type of chicks they are and what they will look like when they have grown.

Recently rescued Quail from a bad situation. They’d previously lived in a small storage bin, on a diet of Quinoa and oatmeal. We bought them a large enclosure along with chick starter. 14 of them, a few of which are buttons. I understand that they’ll need to be separated as soon as possible...

7th Quail chick curled toes neck twisted can't walk just flops. It thiss is my first batch and other ones are perfect this little guy finally broke free the moment I decided to help him cause he looked like his head was upside down in egg and he struggled in the same spot. Been when he broke...
