quail advice

I've had my flock for about 8 weeks now and got them when they were a week old. I have four hens and a roo, and I keep the roo in the same hutch in a screened off area so he doesn't breed with the hens. They can all see each other and are eating well and have plenty of room. For about two weeks...

*COLLECTION ONLY*I have 3 coturnix quail baby that were hatched out yesterday.I wasn’t planning on giving them away,unfortunately I’m pretty they are all males which means they have been fighting and pretty aggressive towards each other (I’m not sure what else to do)so I would rather separate...

I have 2 buttonquails (figured that out today lol). One was making a screeching noise, similar to a hawk. I desperately looked for the type of quail (success) and looked up quail calls. So, the shop owner said that the cocks ripped the back feathers off the hens. So, he chose their sex based on...

3 of my quail have hatched out two came first and the third a lot later the two older ones have been picking on the younger one of of them grabbed his little wing and pulled him about do I take the older ones out the incubator since they’re dryer or the younger one or maybe leave them? Idk...

How should I go about wintering my quail pen? Will they be ok if I just throw a tarp over them or rig up some kind of tent structure? I’m mostly worried about them getting buried under snow, but I’m in Canada so we can get -30C.

I’m thinking of getting a quail but I’m not sure which breed to go for, I have a breeder who is willing to get me just one baby quail who will live in my house (I’ve already got the set up of straw chick crumb and food for when it’s older) I just need some help on what to feed it? How to look...

I had an accident with my incubator this morning and this was the only egg that got damaged I don’t think it broke all the way through no liquid came out so I’m wondering if the egg will still hatch or if I should remove it from the incubator.they’re at day 11

So I’ve been raising my four gambel chicks and they’re all just over 2 months and now. Two of them are attached at the hip to me and two are scared to death of me. I just did a check up on all of them yesterday and they were all looking happy and healthy. Poos are normal, all the good stuff...

So the other week I was reading up on the history of the Broiler Chicken and thought, why hasn't there been anyone raising quail for this purpose? Essentially, a larger than average bird that can easily be raised in a backyard that could be a substantial source of protein. So with nothing else...

Hello! I am a new member, that's not new to raising Gamebirds (Bobwhite Quail, Chukars, etc.), but I am new to raising Coturnix Quail. I am picking up 5 adult Jumbo Whites today and have about 16 eggs going into lockdown at the end of this week (also Jumbo White's from two different sellers on...

If I kept a breeding trio of quail together (one rooster and two hens) would the eggs stay fertile year-round or are quail limited to a breeding season. I am trying to figure out how many eggs I could hatch in an incubator year round. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi, so basically my quail named Bella was discovered in my coop with a really swollen and bruised leg/thigh. I think its a broken bone because she is really unstable (not able to stand) and can't really walk around. She is inside now and she is eating and drinking well. I don't know what to do...

About a year and a half ago ill incubated quail. I ended up keeping one in my house moreless as a pet bc when we released them she was injured. Her leg was bothering her. She healed, but by that time she was the last one and I didn’t want to release her by herself so I kept her. I keep her in a...

We recently got 10 unsexed Bobwhite quail from a local guy who hatched too many. They’re several weeks old now and although they’re still getting their feathers in, it seems we may have 8 males and only 2 females. We would REALLY prefer to not butcher/eat them as we got them for pets and our two...

Hatched some Blue Scale Quail about a week ago and currently have 5 in the brooder. One of them had some leg issues starting out and we were hoping getting into the brooder with the sand would help, but it seemed worse today. Is there anything we can try or do to help him? He's still trying to...

i dont know what to do, they havent pipped.

Hi guys! I’ve joined this community to reach out and see how I should take my next steps— my mum went to the coop this morning with our Coturnix wuails, buff Orpington and Easter eggers, and seemed to find a random chick in there. She seems to be a couple days old and is very very very sweet...

I have 8 week old Jumbo Coturnix hens laying for about a week or so now. Today I found this weird little nugget alongside a normal egg. I don't know who is laying as I think only 3 of my 9 are and I have t yet caught them in the act. Should I be concerned? I don't think that this is a lash egg...

I recently got a batch of 8 quail babies, and now it looks like I have 3-4 boys who have all started crowing. We have an HOA so quail us the only way I get backyard birds. Anyway my question: if I move these dudes to their own kennel and cover them at night, will that give me a few more hours if...

Here are 2 Bobwhite eggs developing. You can see active little chicks inside with good veining which is an indication the incubation is going well and the c...
