quail

Wanted to post this since there may be others who have a thermal camera. I can’t believe I haven’t thought of using it for pulling dead eggs out of an incubator until today. The dead eggs will have a noticeable difference in thermal temps compared to the live ones. The pic attached is of a...

I have posted previously about Joey my gambels quail. She has a history of being eggbound with every egg she lays. Which one about every 4 days. She went thru a molt and had a 2 1/2 month reprieve, however it has started again. She has been to the vet several times . More than likely a...

Well, maybe more like #2.5 since this is Wilma's second go-round on "real" eggs. She's done everything a mother hen can do to give her adopted babies a shot at coming out, and weathered some impressive rain storms the last couple days. With luck, there will be chicks before Sunday. Have a...

I recently purchased 33 (asked for 20 and was given LOTS of extras!) California Valley Quail hatching eggs, that are currently in my incubator. I’m using a Nuture Right 360, and I’ve got them set at 50/55% humidity and using my automatic turner. I’ve got it set for 23 days, lockdown on day 20...

Hi all i have two males in withe a group of hens two are several months old but the others are only 7 they have not started laying yet but the males are breeding with them. Can this effect them from laying by causing stress?

Hi! I need help with sexing my quail. He is 3 weeks old as of today and is the colour variant Pharaoh. I hope these photos are enough as I don't think he'd like me trying to vent sex him 😂 Ps: he's a jumbo Japanese/Coturnix Quail

My two beautiful button quails. Silver: Togepi and Brown: Starly. Togepi is male i think, he has the red tinted feathers at the end of his tail. Not sure about Starly since she doesnt have red feathers but she has the white bib. She also does the three syllable call. The breeder told me she is a...

When do quail start laying eggs? According to google they start at 6-8 weeks, but some websites say 4 weeks. Let's settle this debate, when do quail start laying?

I noticed this swelling on one nostril once many months ago but it sort of solidified and didn't seem to bother him, so I left it alone. But now his other nostril is also swollen, but the tissue is soft. Does anyone know what this is? I know it has to be some infection, but what specifically...

got two chicks with strange coloring, was wondering if anyone knows what they are?

Hello! I am currently trying to incubate quail eggs for the first time. Something has concerned me and my dad slightly during this, although it's only the second day, and we're a bit stumped on what to do if it's an issue. We are using an incubator with automatic turning, it uses rods without...

What can I give to my baby jumbo coturnix quail to compliment chicken starter seed? I wasn’t aware that they needed more than chicken chicks and only just read that they need more. Do they actually need more, or are they ok as is?

Looking for rare coloured quail eggs in Sydney region for affordable prices!

We finished the aviary (or quaviary :p) last week but I haven't gotten around to making a post about it yet. I wanted to post our process for others who may be interested in building an aviary or natural-style enclosure for their quail, since @le_bwah's posts about their aviary gave me a lot of...

Hi, I'm looking for a two or three storey rabbit run to use for quail. I'm looking for one about 38x98 cm in the Sydney region, or for shipping in nsw or Australia. Does anyone have one I could have, or know where I could get one? I'll have to go second hand, because I'm looking for one under...

Hi, I was just wondering if you could potty train quail, if so, how would you do it? I heard you can potty train chicken, so why not quail? Does anyone have any experience with this?
