    Dispatching Quail

    I have some Coturnix quail that I need to harvest. I'm trying not to get attached to them, so I need to do it soon. I thought it would be easier to do since I hunt deer and turkey, but there's something bothering me about raising them to butcher. I don't hold them, play with them, etc. to make...

    Quail gender

    I have a white 11 month old coturnix quail. I bought her when she was 6mo and she was sold as a female. However I’m not sure anymore if she’s a female. Her behaviour sometimes is similar to what my males was. He would run to sit on the egg after the female had laid it. My white female does the...

    Bird Flu in bobwhites?

    I've got a covey of 16 bobwhites that were born April 2022. In the last few months, I've lost 3 or 4...when I haven't lost that in total for the last 2 years. I feel like that's pretty young for them to start dying off. I also have a batch of about 30 young ones that I've raised for butchering...

    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)

    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...

    Hi there, 17 of my quail hatched but 2 of them cant walk properly. Im having trouble figuring out their conditions. Is this splay/spraddle leg? One of the chicks toes seems to be curled up. They in general have trouble standing up and lifting themselves up. The one with the curled toes keeps...
