    Limping and panting quail

    Hello all I’ve had this coturnix quail for about a year now, and she’s been having problems. She started constantly panting a month after I bought her, we’ve been to the vet but the medicine he gave didn’t help. She also has difficulties swallowing…I’d attach a video of that if I knew how to :/...

    First official pip! Here we go! 😍

    I’ve actually counted 11 (of 26! 84% of the eggs incubated were still ticking along at the start of lockdown! 🙌🏻) hairline cracks… of COURSE the first obvious pip is at the wrong end though 🙄 Quail chicks: always working hard to die under even the most ideal circumstances! 😅 I’ll keep y’all...

Today I found this thing in the cage, I have no idea what...

    Ideas of how to mark quail chicks

    We have hatched quail chicks and a few I want to mark to make sure I can tell them apart from the rest. Would loosely tying yarn around their feet be a good idea? Thx,

    Are some of these eggs Celadon?

    Aka: how blue does a blue egg need to be before its Celadon?! 😅 I bought these off EBay, from a woman who keeps I believe it was around 100 birds, mostly Pearls (though it says she has some pharaoh, Italian, and pansy fee)… I didn’t pay Celadon prices, nor were blue eggs mentioned anywhere but...

    What to add to this coop?

    Hi! Reused this old rabbit hutch and turned it into a coop for these coturnix (2/3 in pic). So far I have three food sites, three water sites, 4 ways to hide, and a few plants to cover. What else should or could I add to this to make them more comfortable? More fake plants? Real plants ?
