Hi everyone! So I am completely new to this thing and more excited than EVER!!! today I put together my coop and pen for the quails I’m picking up tomorrow, the coop came with roosting poles but is this needed for quails?? Should I remove them so the space can be utilized better??? Please help...
three days ago I bought a “baby” female quail. Someone had returned her for a reason which is unknown, and I saw her and instantly fell in love. I also bought an adult male that day, and they’re doing fine. No fighting nor trying to breed. My two other roosters try to mate with both of them...
Im going to get a pair of Japanese Quails to put in my aviary. I've been told by some people that these quails have lost the instinct to incubate their own eggs while others have said that they do sit on them?

I own 4 coturnix quails. 1 is named Cotton Ball, who's perfectly healthy since she lives inside my home. The other 3 live outside and are sick. One is named Pine, who's somewhat elderly and female. Today, I found her belly completely void of feathers, revealing a black belly underneath, it looks...

Hi
I have four coturnix quails - two are about 9-10 months old and two are 4 weeks old now.
The two older girls are tuxedo and white, and the babies were hatched out under the tuxedo who went broody (I shipped in some fertile eggs to put under her).
The two babies are pretty happy and healthy...
Hello :) I'm new to this forum and have a serious issue with one of my quails.
I am a new quail owner (I actually found most of my information here) and I keep my quails indoors in a bunny hutch.
I've have my three female Chinese dwarf quails (Luci, Fern, and Tina) for about 2 months with no...
So, I have 9 button quails. one day when I came home, one quail had no feathers, was out of the cage, and had blood coming from his head. I didn't know what happened, but it was probably one of two things. 1: it bumped its head on the top of the cage, or 2: another quail was pecking at it. what...
Hello all.
I've had two female Corturnix quails for the last twelve months or so, and sadly had to cull them a few days ago as one had become dangerously aggressive towards the other. I came home from work and found that the less dominant had had half her feathers torn out and has been bleeding...
Hi everyone! Quite new here and at raising quail chicks. When I purchased the eggs I was told they were japanese quails but they look very different to the last jap quail chicks I had.
Hi everyone! I'm new with quail raising and just wondering if its normal for Jumbo cortunix quails to hatch later than normal? (17-19 days). There was an unfortunate overnight outtage on day 16, could that also have set the hatch day back by abit? They didnt die luckily from the outtage, flipped...

Hi guys. So, which do you think would be better, incubating quails or chickens? I've done chickens before many times but have never done quails. I have my own fertile quails eggs. Which would be cuter?!?!
Hi All,
total newbie to this,
I only have a small garden, and looking to get some Ducks or chickens or Quails.
Ducks and Chickens would be primarily for eggs, Quails would be eggs and meat.
I found these Coops online and they look great, i asked if they can have ducks in there, and got mixed...
Hi all,
My quail is not feeling well. It's been on its side for a couple of days and cannot stand up. Both legs are kicking just like pedaling on a bike. Its eyes are black, hard to see any dilated pupils but my guess is no. Head is moving fine, alert, eating and drinking fine. It's been on...
