Quote: I talked to Kevin Porter last summer and he said it is a growth phase, I was worried about angelwing or split wing. IT's a turkey thing.

wildriverswolf90, cute chicks!!!!
I haven't had a single problem with water and quail chicks since I'm using paper towels in the water. They really do just walk right over it and even sleep on it.Quote:Not sure on sexing buttons but would assume sexing them is similar to sexing coturnix. I always put tissue in my waterers for quail. Marbles or rocks leave gaps for them to fall in or get their legs caught in. Tissue allows them to walk right across the water & only toes get wet. They just suck the water right up from the tissue & it sinks with the water level. I have never lost a quail baby to drowning since I started using this method.Originally Posted by SilkieSensation

The mill I get mine from special orders mine when I need it. They tell me I'm the only 1 who ever buys it. Apparently no one else in the area gets their chick feed there. Rural King is the only other place in the area I've found that carries the non-medicated stater/grower & since I can add the baby food to my monthly bill at the mill I try to get as much of it there as I can & pay everything off the beginning of each month & start again for the next month. I can order my grains already premixed with the molasses added (I feed this to the rabbits too) and bagged 500 pounds at a time for almost $100 cheaper than what I buy it all separate for so I get a lot of my stuff there. Plus Rural King doesn't sell layer mash, just pellets & crumbles & the mash is cheaper.Our feed store stopped selling regular chick starter for some reason. That was all we ever bought.
