Got my first Quail ever at a swap and I have some questions.

[TheJadeChicken]

Quail are very social. Your sure its male? You hear him crow (not like a chicken)?

I feed my quail game bird food. I use regualr waterers once they are too big to drown in them. ( I add marble for young quail to prevent drowning)

Sand, as you've worked it, is for them to "scratch" and "groom" - see also spread sand and do a happy flying dance.

Your quail may appreciate another quail or two, but bob white can be quite brutal to new quail, and should be acclimated slowly, imo.

Enjoy the new quail! Be sure, if its cold where you live, to block off all wind in winter, they can survive normal cold (not alaska) as long as they don't have to suffer the wind. I put mine in the barn hanging cages from rafters in winter.

I 99 percent positive I have a male. He has the white markings on his face like the males do. I haven't heard him "crow", what does their "crow" sound like? He is inside right now. Until I can get my outside cages. I will get pictures of him ASAP. I also picked up a gamebird food for now, until I can find a another brand that has 50 lb bags.

By the way I was playing this video...He was calling back with the same noise. xD
