Aggressive quail hen
I had my first 7 quails in enclose for a few months now and a few days ago I noticed one suddenly became a bully. Pecking at others and chasing them (all are female) quite aggressively, not a regular peck. I separated it for some time on the other side of the enclosure to calm down, thought the... -

1st Hatching Journey - Little Giant
This morning, I purchased a Little Giant incubator with a fan. This is what Zack from MyShire recommended to me when I asked him about it during his live stream last Sunday. I also bought the quail rails for it. However, I did not purchase the auto-turner. So how's that going to work, you ask... -

1 out of 30 eggs hatched
Hi guys! This was my first try at starting my own covey of quail for eggs and meat. I got 30 eggs, 15 from a local farm and another 15 from a farm a bit further away. Didn’t mean to get two different batches but they’re about 2 days apart. Out of the first batch, only 1 hatched, on day 19. None... -

Bird Flu in bobwhites?

Quails ‘purring’
why do quails make a purring noise? I’ve noticed it several times if I walk past them too. Is this normal? What does this mean? (I have 3 girls and usually on 2 of them do this) -
