Do you know who is the attacker? Is the scalped one fully white or what is this color? You said it is a she..? She will recover.. I've had worst cases, just need to be in warm and I give a lot of boiled rice.. some love it..some don't.
I am behind reading the posts, I saw some discussion on egg bound... don't know what this is. My female quails have all stopped laying.. only 10 hours of daylight and I am not having extra light on. Their diet is ok plus enough calcium. I will have to start adding extra light.
Also... one of my...
I gave a warm bath to the female quail that was fully scalped and with bruised leg. She enjoyed it, was calm and happy, fell asleep in the towel right after, then an hour later woke up and was just sitting calmly on the chair. Her scalped head is recovering very fast. Both have blood on the...
Thank you, never done it before
Will be my first time. I'll go shopping to the pharmacy today to buy all these things needed to treating bumblefoot.
Yellow skin is more like something is stuck on it...like a yalk.. None of the others has it.
Well ok, they are both sick. No1 is with bumblefoot...
I haven't been posting for a while and everything is going well with my quails. They are doing fine in the quails tractor (a bottomless cage outside) and so far no predators have attacked them. On a couple of occasions one or two female quails have managed to escape but my male Leghorns chicken...
Very good idea, thank you for sharing!
My newest Coturnix cage is 60cm and they ARE hitting their heads on the roof.
I think so, as the quails cannot see in dark and cannot escape from a wild animal.
I would also suggest buying from someone from here, but if not ask for at least 3 weeks old...
Yes, I can recognize the male sounds as they aren't that many. I'm still learning the sounds of the different females, but I can distinguish some of my 40 chicks by the sound so I think I have an ear...
Soo, I moved all the quail into a new and larger cage. Last night at dusk one of the males started crowing which is a sign that something is not right. So by the time I went downstairs to check it was 6pm and dark and surprisingly the quails have managed to escape from their new cage. They have...
It rained here yesterday and I only had half of the new cage covered. All birds were happy, no signs of being cold and some even stayed under the rain. I have always had them fully protected from the rain before, so it was interesting to see what happens.
Oh and our daylight is reducing now to...
Mine crow when they are unhappy, which makes me happy. For example the other day I moved them all in a new cage. Several hours later one of the males crowed. I checked and turned out the roof of the cage has falled inside. I posted earlier that my last male started crowing when he was 19 days...
Could you please post a picture of the head and chest? See the attached picture below.
.. The height.. from the point end to the blunt end.
Thank you. 32
If they are only two I have done it, I had 3 and I had to clean the cage at least once a week. I then kept on the balcony... They do smell though so I wouldn't recommend keeping too many inside.
