:c I come bearing very bad news
3 days ago my quail was a happy lil bird and today she's showing very obvious signs of bronchitis and it's very sad.
She's not looking the best or else I'd post her on here
She's a very pretty bird and the neighbors beside us smoke 10 cigarettes a day right on...
I've got a covey of 16 bobwhites that were born April 2022. In the last few months, I've lost 3 or 4...when I haven't lost that in total for the last 2 years. I feel like that's pretty young for them to start dying off. I also have a batch of about 30 young ones that I've raised for butchering...

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...
Hello all, im new here and have a question. The other day i saw one of my males start getting all puffy and strutty, and was harassing the hell out of one of my females. I know they are in the first time stage of mating, so i ignored it. The next day my wife went out and found the one female...
i've been wanting to start up a small flock of quil again. For pets mostly but also for eggs.
three years ago i had a flock of coturnix quail and although i enjoyed them and they gave lots of eggs, they were quite problematic and not what i was looking for in quail.
does anyone know what kinds...
So, at the beginning of May I should be receiving baby bobwhites. My question is can they be tamed down? I know they are some of the wilder breeds of quail.
Also, how would I tame them? Do we just handle them frequently? I know all about coturnix, but we unfortunately couldn't order those. :idunno
Incubating bobwhites today is day 17 I candles them and seem to be growing good really dark but dont see any move movement?! Nervous they might have died??
I have 2 eggs that have been on 50% humidity in their brinsea incubator for the last 15 days and have been doing great, been hearing alot of people say different things about lock down! Should I boost it to 65 or higher the last 3 days? I have no idea this is my first time hatching
I'm hatching bobwhite quails they are on day 15 now but when I was candling around day 7 I ended up cracking shell a bit so I put a little bit of tape in it and prayed for the best! The baby is growing perfect and is fine! But worried about hatching now and when i should take the tape off...
I have bobwhites hatching soon wondering what's best for flooring in the storage container as I see people use many different things like news paper, paper towels, and chicken wire but worried about there feet getting stuck or the chick getting hurt!?
My 12 year old son has begun using an incubator he got as a present. Someone gave him some Bob white quail eggs and they hatched really good. We live in Virginia. He wants to sell the quail he hatched and hatch some more. Should I be concern about any legal situations associated with selling...
