Hello there! I have a one and a half year old female coturnix quail who lost her bonded friend due to old age, and there is a posting for two free female quails on my local Facebook marketplace. One is a button quail and the other is a California quail. I am hesitant to mix species. All are...

I am so devastated to announce that my Coturnix Quail hen, Tux, died tonight. She was healthy, eating, no injuries or warning. She had a difficult hatch in the Spring, and was 1/4 size of her hatch-mates. Early this morning I found her facing a corner in a part of the cage she never ventures to...

My Tux is 3mos old and has been increasingly vocal while laying. She was 1/4 of the size of the others at hatch and had a swollen gland above her vent for the first few weeks. I had to help massage her belly to make bowel movements for the first three weeks to avoid constipation and mucky...

My partner and I converted 🐰Murphy’s hutch into a coop for our quail chicks! I suppose they are teenagers now, very close to adulthood! They are five weeks old and are always so happy when I bring their cage outside, so I I figured it is a good warm evening for them to spend their first night...

My 8 “babies” are growing up! Three of them crowed today. So far, all 5 of my “coturnix” are feather sexed as male, but two have some splotchy dotted feathers on their breast. I know my silver “Blondie” is male because he crowed at 6am once and again at 9pm. I am so sad! I don’t have enough...

My bunny Murphy has been enamoured with our 8 quail chicks! Today, Murphy decided to build the quail a nest. She spent 3 hours digging out her hay from her litter-box (fresh), and bringing it to her blanket (where we have quail visits) to build a nest (which is still in construction). It is...

When I bought my quail eggs I bought a mixture of “Celadon” “Pansy” and “Jumbo” Coturnix. I am looking for advice on how to tell what the chicks’ “colour” will be as adults. Does anyone have helpful links? They are only 8 days old but I am so excited to learn more about genetics, colouring...

Hello BYC Quail Community! Today is day four since hatch and the covey is energetic and racing around! It is so nice to see the individual chicks' personalities emerging. Please read-on below for my experiences so far with... - Receiving the Eggs, to Incubation and Hatch - Egg and Chick...

Little Tux’s bottom-end swelling is going down considerably! I make sure to water him with a syringe to ensure he is getting enough fluids and his stool is softening. This is his third day. He still worries at it, and late last night I noticed (as the swelling had gone down) that there is a...

**NEW** Above his vent there is a small white tube among his feathers. This seems to be the cause of the distress and pain. The swelling has worsened since the morning when I "unblocked" him. He seems to go for it, but often nips at the vent. I wonder if that is causing the swollenness. I first...

Hello and thank you for helping if you can. I have eight coturnix quail chicks that hatched successfully yesterday and one todayout of a dozen (day 19). The rest are still in the incubator. This is my first time raising quail. The one quail that hatched today is very weak. He externally pipped...

Hello my name is Michelle, and I live on a 1/4 acre lot in Ruskin, British Columbia. I just finished hatching 9 of 12 Coturnix Quail (today) and am excited to be a part of this community! I have one adopted rabbit, Murphy, and live with my partner. I am a schoolteacher and am raising the quail...
