New quail owner

[Misty Troyer]

We happened to find a male quail in my parents yard a few months ago and with a lot of hard work managed to find a female companion for him. We only have the two coturnix at this time. We are very nervous new quail owners abs have already hit some snags so I would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to BYC. Have you gone to the Quail section of the 'Other Back Yard Poultry' forum ?

No I haven't. I'll have to do so. I have a horrible bumblefoot issue

Best of luck to you with the quail. Hope the bumble foot issue can be cleared up soon (I've had to deal with that with a couple of chickens...not fun).

Thanks for joining us!
