Male quail doing egg call?

[Birds1243]

What is his home like? How much space does he have? How many hens? Does he have hiding places? Does he also crow a lot?

That doesn't sound like a particularly happy sound, but it might be something in his environment or he could just be a grumpy boy.

Plenty space 2 girls He is a very happy boy, always smiling! I think the reason was he was cold. Bought them a new heat lamp for the winter and he has stopped crying now.

That could do it. I'm glad you figured out what his gripe was. He could use another girl or three, but as long as he's not hurting them, you're good. Keep an eye on him when spring comes. He might start getting over enthusiastic with his girls.
