Hey there, We have had a quarantined quail hen for a bit now. (6 weeks?) And she is now acting totally normally after what we believe to have been coryza. Breathing problems, lethargic, mucus in her beak etc... That has all gone away, but... We have tried numerous times... maybe 8 times to get...

I built a small transportable hutch for her and any other bird we might need quarantine in the future. Once we had the mini hutch, we used blukote on her wound and took the opportunity to take all the girls out and use it on their backs where they were missing feathers to try and stop any of...

Thank you so much for your replies, We are pretty certain it was a hawk because we have had one hanging around the hutch for like a week and a half. On it, Under it, anywhere it could hope to find a week spot. I have now put another layer of hardware cloth about 8 inches under the bottom so...

We have 9 quail in a raised hutch with 1/4" hardware cloth around the sides and top, and coated 1/2" on the bottom. They have another side of the hutch that is completely covered and protected on all sides with plywood. There has been a hawk hanging around, but because I was scrupulous about...

Thank you so much for your response. We have been trying in short little bursts each day to push out the mass. we were able to get out some more liquid looking puss. But we're having a hard time squeezing the harder mass out. We will try again tomorrow and I will be a bit firmer. We've had a...

Thank you so much for your response, I am Sconz's partner in crime, we've separated her and she is still eating and drinking but quite lethargic. When you say push it out, do you mean from around the eye cavity? (attempting to firmly but gently pressing the cheek area upwards towards the eye cavity?

We are now planning on doing and experiment moving forward and supplementing different veggies for them to really test if the eggs taste any richer. Our control will be their eggs on purely layer feed alone. As time moves forward we are planning on adding different supplements each week to see...

Thank you Kiki, We have a layer feed for them (6 ish weeks old) and are now supplementing sprouts that we grow in the kitchen, along with recently trying some red peppers and their old egg shells dried and crushed up.

Thank you for the response. This will send me well further down the research rabbit hole. I had been hearing you can't feed your quail meat. That doesn't include fish?

Great to hear. thank you for your response.

My fiancé and I are so new to quail... But we recently started keeping 9 of them in a quail hutch in our back yard in Los Angeles. We already want more and to move to 6,000,000 acres in the middle of no where and start a regenerative farm/garden. (joking, but also, kind of not joking). As we...

Thanks for the reply. I had looked at Home Depot etc, but unfortunately couldn’t find the coated wire I was looking for 😞.

Hey all, This is a really lovely forum and I'm happy to be a part of it. Reading through everyones questions and answers is very useful and I thank you all! I want to replace my 1/4" coated hardware cloth that I have on the flooring of my outdoor quail hutch with 1/2". My fear of predators was...

Thank you, both! Because it's an outdoor coop, I was hesitant to use Quickstrike for other critters that come through. But if all else fails, I will certainly try this. As a temporary fix, I did put food grade diatomaceous earth on the ground below the open air section, which along with 8 fly...

Hello all! Very new here and really appreciative of this community. We just got our quail yesterday after months of researching and building a hutch etc... They are so lovely, and we are very excited. But. holy moly, the flies. We put them in the outdoor hutch and instantly, I mean INSTANTLY...

Thanks! excited to be here! we have a 6x3 raised hutch with 2 sections joined by a little doorway. 9 hens. The first sections is enclosed with 1/4 hardware cloth on all sides (the bottom is coated). then the second area is an enclosed, hard bottom, with sand and wood ash taking up about 3/4 of...

Hey there! I hope it's ok that I'm peeking in here. My Fiancé and I just started keeping quail. And well, though we're only 2 days in after months of research and building a glorious hutch.... we have.... some questions...😄. Thank you for creating this forum, and thanks for having us!
