    Anyone keep quail outdoors in cold weather climates?

    Yeah they live in the wild, but do they live in areas where it gets to -40 degrees such as where we are. I guess that's what I need to look up!

    Anyone keep quail outdoors in cold weather climates?

    Thank you! I'm going to take advantage of your knowledge again if that's ok. I want to ask if we were to tarp wrap our cyclone chicken run (there are particle boards and tin on top to shelter from snow and rain) and put a heat lamp in for times when it gets -10 to -40 degrees, do you think they...

    Anyone keep quail outdoors in cold weather climates?

    Bins like the plastic storage bins you buy at Walmart? Don't they need more room to move around?

    Anyone keep quail outdoors in cold weather climates?

    Thank you for the thorough and helpful response. I am hearing that it is important to keep their feet warm. Would straw scattered over frozen, bare earth be enough if they were able to keep their feet off of the bare ground when needed?

    Quail in sub-zero climate?

    Thanks so much! 1 - Would a tarp wrapped cyclone fence be enough shelter do you suppose if we were to place a heat lamp for those times when it gets -10 to -40? I realize this is likely a guess on anyones part but thoughts are definitely appreciated. 2 - How would you suggest keeping their...

    Quail in sub-zero climate?

    We've had chickens, and I became tired of worrying for them as it get to -40 sometimes where we live, so we got rid of them. We miss them though and are considering getting quail as I've read they tolerate cold better. Sounds like wind is their greatest enemy so here are some simple minded...

    Anyone keep quail outdoors in cold weather climates?

    Why do some people say quail can handle -20 with a heat lamp while others say anything below 50 is too cold? I'm sure breed has somthing to do with it, but I get so tired of hearing all of these varying views. I want birds again but don't want to spend all Winter stressing about them suffering...

    Breathing very rapidly with mouth open and wheezing; please Help!

    No obvious stridor but light wheezing with each breath. Also this evening she was able to get up on the roost in their run but didn't seem to want to get down to go to bed in the coop as they always do. She also has a very slumped and tired looking posture as she sits on the roost.

    Breathing very rapidly with mouth open and wheezing; please Help!

    I do not see anything in her throat and she is sneezing as well from time to time. She's able to walk around but is slower than usual. Not eating much at all and haven't seen her drink. Pretty sure it's respiratory.

    Breathing very rapidly with mouth open and wheezing; please Help!

    Gateworm? Respiratory bacteria? Swallowed something? WHAT CAN I DO?! Today our hen is walking around some but about 44 breaths per minute with open mouth an wheezing with each breath. A little sneezing; no discharge from beak or eyes. Do I just get a wide spectrum antibiotic and try that...
