quail

Hello! If you would to skip over the additional information my question is what are they veterinary costs for birds like in Ontario, Canada? I plan on taking her to a vet that has probably only ever dealt with birds like budgies/parakeets as I don't think I have many other options. I'm looking...

STock and barrel hanging out in the tiel cage :)

The chick is about 2 weeks old and is the strongest and biggest of all of them yet, and we have 6 other chicks excluding this one. They are housed in a large 40L clear plastic storage container. They have all been doing very well eating and drinking. Today in the morning I found the chick on the...

my poor little darling died thru the night for no reason I'm aware of.. found it with it's eyes wide open and it looked like it had collapsed and was laying like a chalk-outline in his brooder with a little beak & claws that were blue. The older quail chick (separated by a mesh screen) is...

Hello! As a long time seeker of knowledge on all things chicken. I have found myself drawn to BYC for ages, I really mean ages, it could be years!! But this year I finally took the plunge and decided to join! When I saw everyone having a blast on hatch-alongs, when that baby fluff butt...

Hello! My dear buddy Echo had a severe double eye infection and was put on antibiotics. The dose was injectables 4-6 times a day for a week in the pectoral muscle. He seemed to grow more and more sore with the injections, but his eyes and behavior did grow better... BUT. Now he can only hobble...

Greetings. I joined a few days ago and just now found this to post an introduction. I’m fairly certain my intro is not of much interest to anyone, really, so I’m just using this to try to figure out how to use this site's forums. If I can upload a pic or video, I will. But so as not to buck the...

I've got two old quails (both are no longer laying), Octopus and Tsapa, who have quite a few health problems and I was wondering wether anyone has advice for some of their issues. Octopus has -what we believe is- gout on her feet and we've been giving her chopped salad and buckwheat in addition...

I just bought 3 quail hens 2 days ago and just noticed their feet have some droppings stuck on and lumps. The white hen is also missing a patch feathers on her chest. They preen quite a lot but I haven't seen them pull any out and plus there are no feathers laying around in their cage. So maybe...

We had to euthanize our button hen yesterday due to progressive ovarian cancer and our poor little male is very distressed by her loss. We are working to find him a companion as quick as possible but so far have had no luck. While we continue to search we are looking for temporary solutions...

I need to quickly feed some quail, so I need some advice! What are some household items I can feed my quails! I would assume things like oat, and rice, but would like to clarify!

We have lemon grass that has dried up/died from the weather and I'm wondering if it's safe to use around quails and/or chickens in terms of bedding? The quails tend to kick their pine shavings out of their ground coop's entrances and I used to use leftover hay as a barrier to prevent that (and...

hi guys, im in great need of help! i'm new to owning quails and recently one of my baby quails (1 month and a week old) have been moving weirdly almost waddling around. i wish i was able to post a video of it walking but it’s making me really worried because i was reading information on google...

This morning I went out to check on my button quail and all but 1 were dead, they are housed with a chicken and a rooster and a larger coturnix quail and have never had any problems until this morning where there was a pile of them in their little wooden house on the bottom floor I don’t know if...
