quails

Hi, I have no experience with owning birds of any sort, but I would like to buy two or three quail hens for a source of eggs. The thing is, I have plans to move out of my parent's house and live full time in a van/ mobile home. I've heard that moving around can be stressful for quails, and I...

Hello everyone! I just joined, so here's some info about myself! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yep, I am totally new to chickens/quails! I am more interested in quails though, as I live in Singapore and space is limited. (2) How many chickens (quails in this...

hi i have 18 quails and i live in canada.

Preferably minimum of 4 weeks old. I am in the New York area 11214, but willing to travel. Message me if you have any available. I would like to add to my flock without the arduous process of raising them. Hatching Texas A&M at the moment and have 9 Pharaoh's around 4 weeks old. Thanks.

one of my chicks has an air bubble on its neck. The skin is pretty thin and it’s kinda yellow if you look through it, kinda like it’s food. I thought of puncturing it but if it’s the crop that would be bad. Also, it’s chest skin is pretty thin and it has been opening its mouth kinda as if it was...

Looking to get some button quails, but no clue where to buy them. Looking for newly hatched babies.

I have 3 quails and today there was 2 butcher birds chasing them up and down their run. Only one went up into its coop but I was lucky enough to scare the birds away before any damage was done. I put an extra barrier of wire sloping out to the birds can’t get to them but I’m still worried about...

A few days ago I received 3 female quail which I very highly suspect one is a male! I’ve never owned or raised quails so forgive me if some of my questions seem silly! We were told they will be fine in a small chicken coop so we purchased one that has a lockable hutch that has a ramp going into...

Hello everyone, I just signed up because I need your help. I have had a first go at incubating quail eggs! So far 5 have hatched out of 20, they are all healthy except for one day started hatching on day 19 and couldn’t get out of the shell two days later, it was completely open but couldn’t get...

Do pet quails stink? I am looking to get 2 pet coturnix quails. Do they stink? And if so how to stop it? Also, how often to clean cage?

Hi everybody, I used to have a large tank for my buttons that I divided in two when they got to 6 weeks, but it was a hassle to haul around when I needed to so I resold it to a friend. I got an idea from a Facebook group to get a large guinea pig cage for them instead, but I did not realise...

Hi there, I wasn't able to upload a video, but I have two male button quails that have been chasing after one of the female quails today. One of them (the original chasing quail, before the other one joined in) seemed to be attempting to peck at her. My quails, most likely two males and three...

Hey! It's been so long since I've been on here! In September one of my button quail pairs hatched out a single baby (the others pipped and died ). In short, they were terrible parents and I ended up raising him. I'm pretty sure he is as tame as a button quail can be and I love him to death...

This quail has laid eggs before they hatched in the aviary and chicks were killed by other quails. I tried moving one of my other quails who laid eggs a couple weeks ago but she had a heart attack and died while being moved. How do I move a quail with her eggs into a separate cage safely?

I had a buyer drop by the other day who said the last person she paid to get eggs off. She had no luck in hatching even by Day 20. After experiencing something similar myself I had an interesting answer from Slightly Red Neck several months ago. And he advised its to do with incorrect...

So yesterday I received 2 lovely but small quails eggs for the first time! So far today, I still haven't received any. Is it normal for Japanese quails to miss a day after their first egg? If so, is it just one day or can it last a while? Thanks :)

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am new to chickens. I started in August with chicks that were a week old. I grew them out and they're now about 14 weeks old. In September I hatched out some quails and silkies in the incubator. They hatched on about September 23rd...

I’ve been trying to find the target weight loss for incubating quail eggs but can’t find a set answer, just what people use themselves. I’m still learning to navigate the site so maybe I’m just not looking right. So what’s the target weight loss for quails, total and weekly? I’ve only...

Yes, I know, you are supposed to have the brooder up and running before the baby hatches, but I do not feel safe having a 250 watt heat lamp hovering over my baby and I am worried about the heating pad's thermostat breaking and starting a fire. Sounds like I'm quite worrisome huh? Well, I am...
