One evening, I stupidly opened the coop door a bit while it was outside, to refill water. Kelsey, probably the fastest bird in the world, got out. Couldn't find where she went.
"What the..."
Three months later, she came back!! I have no idea how she found me. I found her under the patio...

My friend lost one of his quail yesterday, it flew out of a cardboard box that it was being transported in. He just told me.
The quail he lost is a good flyer, but scared of humans. Tibetan. Any ideas how for him to get it back?(It's almost nighttime where I live.)
I told him to put a male...
So I have a 2week-3week ol' quail. Today, I took her for a walk outside. In the middle of her walk, she got ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of me! Explain, anyone?
In my quail flock, the only roo has "paired up" with another hen. Is this normal in quail? He doesn't seem to care for the other hens. When she's gone, he keeps crowing. Does this happen in quail? I heard about it in pigeons and other birds.
As you probably know, I have quail. One just turned 4 minutes old on May 15th! She's still kickin' and occasionally lays an egg every couple days.
Things that she did:
-Escaped
-Came back after escaping 2 hours later
-Chased me for a mealworm beetle that I was holding
-Defends the flock...
I have a roo(Bob) that keeps pecking and attacking one specific(female) quail, and not the other one. She became scared of Bob, and runs away/flies away from him. How should i stop this? Thx
one of my quail seems to have like a cyst or something on his foot pad, without a noticeable open wound, just a teeny bit of inflammation. It's a soft lump, so it probably isn't cancer, and antibiotics(neosporin) were adminishered topically. What should i do, i don't want to pop it because then...
For some reason, I just thought about one of py pet quail falling down an air vent that I left uncovered one day, if this hypothetically hapenes, how would I get him/her out of an air vent? Seems dangerous.
So, the air sac on one of my eggs has not been pipped with the beak, It's been pipped with a foot or a wing or somehing. Will this chick be malpositioned?
I normally don't post here, since I keep pet quail, but one of my quail has died from a crow or some black bird that pecked the skin on his head off, and since I do not want to waste him(he's a roo) I am trying to process him for meat. How exactly do you take the guts out, when there is no...
