~QUAIL BASICS FOR BEGINNERS*~ *The information and advice in this article are based solely on my personal experience and research. Cover photo from @Kiki. All quail in photos are different varieties of Coturnix quail and their eggs, including Pharoah, Jumbo, Pansy Fee, Pansy, Rosetta, Rosetta...

@Nabiki and @Kiki have a lot more quail knowledge though!
 
What kind of quail? If they are coturnix quail, then I hope they're both hens.

I would start in the articles section unde learning center, other for, quail. There are a lot of good articles there.

As for the mid/poop balls, it sounds like you need to keep their area cleaner. It it's clean and dry, you won't have that problem. If they already have the balls, put a shallow layer of water and some pebbles into a container and let them walk around in it for 30 minutes or until it comes off.

Some say natural remedies don’t work, and I cannot object or confirm that because I do not remember myself using any from the time that we had quail.
 
If you're getting only two coturnix, make sure they're both hens. Roos need at least three hends, preferably five or six.
Oh well then,I was planning on buying a male and a female but that seems to have an issue,I will get only two hens then,thanks allot:)

I'm usually okay with a pair. It's when there is more than one roo that things get weird -- even if the roos are in separate cages and near one another. Honestly, pairs sometimes seem most content (and least bald, in my opinion).

Right now, I'm reconsidering whether quail really are social creatures. It's been a tough week.

I have to agree with Nabiki: if you can get two hens that's the easiest and most productive.
