No, they don't. You can look up pictures of Japanese quail, Bobwhite quail, and Button quail to figure out what kind you have as those are the most common types to find available in most areas. Also what size they are and what age will give you a hint, Buttons are tiny and Bobwhite are pretty big.

Hi guys,

Not sure if this question has been asked as this is a very healthy and busy thread with 10 pages so I apologise if some of you will be repeating yourselves.
I have a sand dust bath that I have added "poultry dust" too.
http://store.cityfarmers.com.au/david-grays-poultry-dust-400g.html as it is a form of medication is it ok to always use it as part of the sand mix? Could prolonged use damage/burn their skin?

Thank you
Regards
Mazzi

oh they dont need anything they just need dry dirt or just normal sand no need for anything extra
