buttonquail

Hello all, My hens have naturally hatched dozens of chicks over the passed few years, and I lose about 75% of them. I had 4 hatch 2 days ago. I was able to catch one yesterday before he passed. I held him until he died. Then today, another. I though he was already gone but when I picked him...

Heya everyone! I joined this community as my bf and I are getting button quails soon, and I’d like to find as many tips/help as I can before they come home! :) (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I’ve been raising chickens since I was a young kid! My very first was...

Hi everyone, I just so happened to be walking by one of my cages that had a basic brown female buttonquail (and her mate) in it, when I noticed the female flopping around belly up all over the cage. The male wasn’t doing anything. After a few seconds, she landed on her stomach, with her head...

I have a red breasted hen and a white rooster that hatched babies. The babies are now 3.5 weeks old and their down suggested 1 white and 2 red breasted chicks (4 didn’t make it) but judging by their feathers, the “red breasted” chicks appear to be basic brown hens that may or may not be growing...

Hello! I feel bad kinda posting right after making an account but I wanted to make sure we weren't about to lose our first clutch. We ordered button quail eggs off Ebay and they arrived November 22nd. The reviews all said they were fertile so we took our chances with it. We let them sit out for...

Hello, I'm looking to re-home the two healthy adult male button quails that I have raised in the Bay Area (California). Recently, one of my females have passed away, leaving one of my males lonely. I have to go to college next year and I need help to give these guys a new home! They have been...

Can someone help identify the problem with my female button quail? She's ~2 years old (average lifetime of 3 years), has stopped laying eggs for several months, lives indoors alone, in a constantly clean cage. A few days ago I noticed that her poop has turned ashy grey and watery (been eating...

Hello! I hatched around 9 button quails a few months ago (Mid February). Around two months ago, they started laying eggs, including the two quails I am about to talk about. About a month and a half ago, we had a problem. One of the quails ended up being sick. She had her feathers puffed up and...

I was given a silver male and a basic brown female sometime in October. I allowed them to hatch a clutch of 6 babies. They hatched in early November, only 2 survived, a basic brown male and a basic brown female. They have all lived together in their cage all this time without an issue. Both...

Hi so I got my two button quail about 3 months ago, I have one female-pure white, and one male who is that natural camouflage brown colour (I’m not great with terminology, sorry). They live indoors and we recently moved them to a location with more light and my female started laying one egg a...

The chick appears to have dislocated its right leg. Perhaps it started out as a splayed leg and something happened from there. I only took in the bird Wednesday from the owner (who bought the quail chick from my friend, the breeder) in order to prevent it from being euthanized. [see attached...
