Hi everyone! I am new to having quail and I'm hoping you can help me. I've recently taken a young (very flighty) male king quail from a family member who couldn't keep him, he used to live with a female but she died just before we were given him. I currently have him in temporary accommodation...
Hey everyone. I’m new to BYC but have been an avid reader for months now, fantasizing about raising some birds! I got the chance to contact a local vendor and purchased 20 Coturnix Hens for eggs( my goal at the moment). I put in A LOT of work building my quail run. It took me about a week to...

The enclosed area is 12' x 16' and we're hoping to be able to keep 2 males and 12 females full time...
