I have never bathed a quail in water.
Never.


I give my quail dirt to bathe in when they're just a few days old.

You give your quail baths in water?

only when they get really dirty, most of the time i don't.

@PhantomSkye , if you give them a bath with water don't put it in their run/pen. Bathe them in warm water and don't get their face wet.

I only do spot baths in emergencies (wound treatment, pasty butt, etc). Never submerging and never the whole body. Otherwise it’s always dust bath. My current quail are also very fond of mud wallowing.

What’s mud mallowing?

Perhaps I’ll wait a week and a half before giving them a dust bath?
