    What is wrong with my quail’s foot?

    Anti-bacterial ointment without painkiller would probably be a good idea. You'll need to wrap it to keep it clean. Make sure you get one without painkiller since most painkillers used in those are toxic to birds.

    What is wrong with my quail’s foot?

    That looks like bumblefoot. Epsom salt bath, keep it clean. Are these the ones that you got from the person who was getting rid of their quail? They sure don't seem to have been taken care of very well.

    What made you happy today?

    We're expecting snow next week, but the new chicken coop will be done by then! The new coop is amazing. I used a lot of recycled materials, but I am blessed to know a master carpenter that has been willing to do the work for me at no charge in exchange for me helping to mentor and teach his...

    Sick Quail

    I hope you're past the worst. I certainly wouldn't get chicks from the same person again.

    Feeding All My Birds

    I use ceramic pet bowls to offer oyster shell for my quail. My chickens get layer feed that has calcium in it. Your birds need grit if they are eating anything in addition to their milled feed. There is some benefit to grit even if they are eating only milled feed. I have never fed any of my...

    Moving Button auil to new home

    I would still wait a few more weeks before kicking them outside. The daytime temps may average around 75, but where I lived, at least, the night time temps would be down into the 50s.

    Quail light problem

    I've used solar light bulbs, solar string lights, etc. I'm working on a new chicken coop right now, and I just finished stapling up the string lights in there. The lights aren't so much to keep them laying as to give me light to take care of them when the days are really short. If I wanted...

    Moving Button auil to new home

    I never kept my buttons outdoors when I lived in Petaluma. I know it rarely gets below freezing in that area, so they will probably be okay with a heat lamp. How large is your run, though? If it's large enough that they can't find their way back to the heat easily, you may lose some.

    Quail light problem

    You can use just about any light.

    Button quail ID

    We would need better pictures to tell. If the silver's eyes are bulging, it's not a good sign, but again, pictures would help. I don't know if the two that I don't know the colour name of are feather sexable or not. Look for chin straps of red/rust feathers around the vent. Those are pretty...

    What made you happy today?

    I don't use a fixed recipe. Ground meat (In this case bison). Usually beef. Mixing a bit of ground pork in will give it a richer, slightly sweet taste. Mixing in sausage will give it a more savoury taste. Eggs, bread crumbs. What kind of bread crumbs? What do you feel like tasting? Maybe...
