    New to the forum, looking for quail info

    Hi Group, I'm Anna and I live in Southern California. After having racoons eat the fish in our pond over the years, we did what we always wanted to do and enclosed our pond, turning it into an aviary. We have a couple of budgies and bourke already in the house, and plan to add finch, diamond...

    What age quails can live together?

    Currently I have 3 quails - all female. I have a 9 month and a 12month together. And right next to them another 12 month. (They are currently separated due to small fights but all play together all day. Don’t worry no one is left lonely 🙂). I’m wanting to get another quail - male or female - to...

    How can I make a quail feeder that eliminates their mess?

    I’m trying out raising quail for the first time and I’ve heard that they are extremely messy, is there a way to fix this or do I just have to top it up ever few hours?

    Possible quail chick abandoned—Please help!

    We found a baby bird last night. It was being stalked by cats and we couldn’t find its parents so we brought it in. We think it’s a quail, but confirmation would be nice. Can anyone guess what breed it is? Are they able to eat chicken food? If not, what can they eat? I fed it egg yolks (from...

    Lost two of my lady buttons, what can I do for the last?

    As the title says, I unfortunately lost two out of three of my female button quail last night in a freak accident. I'm still really upset about it all as I hatched them out. The rest I have are 4 males, and I know that even one would probably harass her if put together. For right now I'm letting...

    Sticky/partially fused eyelid on quail

    Hello! The other week I bought some new POL quail to add to my small flock. On the journey home, 'Grump' took a mean bump to the eye as we traversed the country roads. It was swollen shut for a few days, however the eyelids could be fully separated. No blood, pus or crust, and several times I...

    Teflon Poisoning in Birds

    Yes, Teflon, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), can be dangerous to birds. When heated to 530° F (280° Celsius) or higher, PTFE-coated non-stick cookware and other products release a clear, odorless gas that is toxic to birds. Birds are more susceptible to PTFE poisoning because they have a...

    Coturnix lifespans

    Has anybody here had a Coturnix live for more than 2 years? I need a breeding+harvesting routine for these birds. Should I keep late-summer eggs under a broody hen and cull the older adults after winter to make room for the new generation? Or can the adults stay around for longer? At what age...

    1 y.o. laying coturnix hen in need of rehome (supplies available)

    Unfortunately, I think it’s time for this leg of my quail journey to come to an end. I have two coturnix hens, one of which has poor health and I have decided to euthanize. Rather than get a new hen, I would like to rehome Waffles, my healthy quail. I got her from a craigslist breeder (I know...
