    Sick bobwhite

    So I was feeding the birds this morning and I saw one of my bobwhites not looking herself. I picked her up (she didn't struggle, another bad sign) and she's very skinny. She's inside at the moment, I will offer her plenty of food and water. Does anyone know what I can do for her?

    HELP- MALE OR FEMALE BOBWHITE?

    Adult bobwhites not laying...ideas?

    Hey, friends. I have 5 mature female bobwhites that hatched out in September. None of them have laid eggs yet. I was wondering since I got the "Georgia Giant" variety there may be something wrong in their genes since they were bred specifically to be larger. Once there were a total of 16 in the...

    About bobwhites

    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

    Gooseberry the bobwhite quail

    Hey friends, just though I'd show you some pictures of my "chosen quail" because he is such a king. Gooseberry is a Georgia Giant Bobwhite quail (though I accidentally said Jumbo Wisconsin in my intro...whoops) and he is pretty dominant. Y'all can share your pictures if you'd like to.

    Can you raise bobwhite and coturnix in the same pen? I have bobs now, but am thinking of adding the coturnix to the mix. Any advice would be of great help. Thank you, Brenda

    Bobwhite and Gambel quails humidity drop??

    I have some gambel and bobwhite quails in the incubator usually kept at 100F and 45% to 55% Humidity. Started incubating 7days ago developing good, got home after 5 hours and see the humidity was down to 30% it's back up to it's usual now, but could the humidity drop harm them or kill them?

    Coturnix vs. bobwhite

    I currently have about a dozen Coturnix quail, I absoloutely love them. They are so much fun to watch run and play. During the day when I am out I let them roam and play in my garden. I'm working on fully enclosing the garden, and adding a small insulated "hen house" to turn it into a permanent...

I'm just wondering if my dimensions are big enough, because I just heard about Boinking, and I don't want to lose any birds from it. My old quail would...
