Hi all, I have 18 coturnix but I'm not sure which variety. They are 2 weeks old. Can anyone tell me what they are? Sorry it's not a better photo. I want to sex them soon. Thanks!

they look just like the coturnix quail in my profile pic

Their is a thread for foot problems, but maybe this will help the beginner. Mistakes I have already learned from.


I have had quail for several years now, I even bought the special coated wire, breeder battery for quail. I also used galvanized wire (harp point down). With the coturnix quail BOTH WIRE TYPES CAUSED BLOODY FEET. I now use the heavy plastic rabbit rest pads, they have nice oval punch outs in them and lock down to the wire. I also use the ornamental grass cut in long strips and put in with them. they rest on it and seem very content, and it's easily changed. With the rabbit guard they are easily hosed off or brushed off. I agree with all on a dusting box. They seem to enjoy a water bathing pan as well. If you have the room add these items, or do an add on area to your pen. simple and makes for some healthy happy birds. I now have Bob whites as well. I add pine bows to it for a natural cover and they roost on it and hide in it. Just chage with fresh when needed. Good luck.

My DD1 lost her beautiful Button quail a couple days ago. She was about 3yrs old & seemed perfectly healthy. Her cage mate, a Tuxedo quail seems so sad without her in there. We will miss her & her many sweet songs.

Three years for a Button quail hen is about average. Sorry for your loss.
