Help! Button Quail chick w/ Black toes? Spreading!
Hello! I'm fairly new to button quail. I have five adults (my male has four girlfriends and they are very happy and adorable together.)

Quail hurting their faces on wire
I just transferred my jumbo coturnix that hatched 4/16 to an outside wire cage the other day and started noticing some blood and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from until I noticed they all seem to be shoving their faces in between the wires and scraping them up!

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?- dfgkfghggfasd

Can 3 week old quail be in the brooder with 1 week old chicks?
I’m running out of brooder space in our bathroom. I hatched quail 3 weeks ago and picked up 4, 4 day old chicks from TSC. Can I put them in the brooder together since they are size comparable right now? I have more quail hatching today and need to use one of the brooder for those babies.- SbeckTraditions

Can Coturnix Quail Be Kept Outdoors In Winter?
Hey everyone, I was just wondering, could Coturnix Quail be kept outdoors (in Illinois) during winter? They would obviously need some sort of shield to block from wind, snow, etc., but would they need a heat lamp? Any special extra-protein diet? I probably won't be getting any Coturnix for a...- Button Quail 123

Chick can’t walk
i have my one and only chick, Franklin. We fixed his curled feet, but he still can’t walk. He may need longer on his right foot though. He seems to be trying to stand straight and walk backwards. Other than that, he’s eat and drinking fine. Is there anything I can do to help him?
