Help! White coturnix with stunted growth!

Are you feeding this quail high protein feed with protein % of at least 24%?

Yep! 29.64% to be exact

Could she be a he? The males will call for females and not lay eggs. They’re also typically a little smaller than females. My smallest coturnix is not much bigger than my palm though I have big hands.

I do believe that it is very likely! If I ever find out how to sex the quail without it flying around my house I will be sure to check, haha!

It looks like a white button to me. The whites can be hard to sex. The best way, other than a hen will lay eggs, is the call. Do a YouTube search for button quail calls. You should find one that has both the male and the hen's calls.

Yeah, that looks like a button quail, which is why it isn't growing. It'd done growing already.
