    Momma quail!

    I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for all the information they post. I started raising quail in 2023, and this forum has been a huge help! I would also like to share that one of my hens went broody and hatched out some babies! I am excited because I have them in a wire bottom...

    Quail was limping, now cant stand up at all.

    Just got myself handful of coturnix quail for the very first time. Right away next day, I noticed that one quail is barely moving and spends its day lying down, she wobbled to get food and water, but plopped down and ate laying down. I looked and found already calluses on her legs, from all that...

    Bought feed, pungent smell; safe to use?

    I bought a bag of feed earlier this week at my local feed store. It was the last bag of high protein feed they had in stock. When I got home and opened it, the feed smelled a bit more pungent than usual. I was concerned it's rancid, but I poured it out and it was still dry. My only concern is...

    What did my coturnix hen lay?

    I went out to collect eggs this evening and found this! What is it? All my hens seem happy and healthy. Haven't been having any issues at all. Is this something to be concerned about? They are about 4 months old, lay regularly, have oyster shell, egg shell, and Purina game starter, live in pens...

    Growth/tumor? Something on Quail's Head

    So, one of my hens has had this little growth on her head. And I just noticed today that there is a hole in the skin, and underneath its black, and looks like matted hair.... bird doesn't seem to be in distress, even when it's touched. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to what it is, or...

    Egg

    Hello :) I have four hens (pharaoh coturnix) who I believe are all laying regularly now. I've noticed dramatic differences in egg colouration and texture - the ones with an almost solid brown covering are a bit rougher and less shiny that the speckled eggs. I have been assuming this is just...

    How can I keep a lonely quail happy?

    Hello! As I probably already mentioned in some of my previous threads, I always keep 2 quails at a time. It’s a continuous cycle of me getting a new one when one of them dies, because I just can’t stand seeing my other bird being lonely and sad. It happened again…but this time, I got four 3 day...

    Color ID??

    I asked a few weeks ago when this little one was two weeks old but now that they’re older I wanted to ask again! What color is this and is it feather sexable? They’re 4 weeks old today
