    At what age can you get Quail?

    Aye, I've been looking to raise some Quail. However, having dealt with other animals before I know that many of the animals for sale are often far younger than they are supposed to be. Many times market as "minis" and such. What age should I look for when buying Quail?

    2 broody quails sitting together

    Both of my female quails are sitting on their eggs right next to each other, like the 2 egg clutches are pretty much in the same best I was just wondering if I can move then both into the same cage or would this start fights and maybe even cause the chick's to be killed once they hatch?

    Is movement of the egg in water a good way to distinguish alive from dead embryos?

    Hello everyone, I posted here a few months ago with some questions about my science experiment. Briefly, I am experimenting with Japanese quail eggs (Coturnix coturnix) to determine the temperature at which they die (I know, it's sad) and have been using the Buddy Heart Rate monitor to...

    Quail babies

    I just hatched my first quail in my incubator. But it's so tiny that its feet just falls through the holes of the Grate/screen. What do you do about that?

    New quail hatchling issue....

    I have four successfully hatched quail chicks (may be more to follow). Three are very lively and speed around the brooder super fast. The other is still drying off as it was the last to hatch. I noticed it looked like one of its toes was shorter than the rest. When I picked it up to inspect it I...

    Is it too early?

    Hi! I was wondering if my 11-day old Coturnix quail should have a dust bath. I see them rolling around and fluffing up in their bedding and in dust from their food. I was also wondering if they like dust bathing and they don't only need it to make sure they don't have mites. Could this be a sign...
