I have used these handy Little Giant waterers in my quail cages for several years. They save floor space, and prevent spills and pooping in the water. They work great for water for quail, and would probably be useful as additional waterers for chickens or chicks when you want to be sure nobody...
This morning, I found one of my three 10 day old coturnix chicks dead in the brooder after seeming a little lethargic last night and now a second one is acting slightly off. They were completely fine until now but within a few hours started laying down more and walking around less, appear less...
Hey everyone, I'm new to raising quail and try to get an understanding of normal vs abnormal poop. I have 11 chicks, 2 weeks old. The photos show some.kf the variation in poop that I'm seeing. Any advice as to what's normal or not? I've read lots but haven't found many photos to compare to...
Hey everyone, I'm Beth :)
I just got my FIRST flock about a week ago: 11 Coturnix Quail chicks. They are 2 weeks old and I'm loving every minute of having them. Enjoying the young indoor phase while it lasts (my family isn't quite onboard with the idea of a long term house-quail 😜).
Excited...
These cuties don't grow like weeds. They grow like super virus, over taking my heart and infecting me with their birb faces. I'm excited to begin this new self sufficient chapter of my life. Usually I bite off more than I can chew so I'm starting small! It's going to be hard because I can't get...
I just spotted some redness around one of the females ears. Had a peak behind the feathers and to my surprise she has an ear infection. It seems to be early(ish) stages but there is a bump or two. Seems painful for a small little birdy :( how can I help her?! (She’s 8 months old :), has two...
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but I’ve seen flick threads a bunch so I thought I should make one for my quail this will be where I post updates on my birds. When I get new birds sell birds or hatching and also just post pictures also can double as a place for chatting.

For the past 4 years I have used artificial light for an extra 3 hours or so after darkness for my chickens. Just started breeding quail last summer so they have been using artificial light since then. Starting this summer I’m going to stop using light however since I have used it for so long...
I recently built this hutch for my jumbo cotornix quail. The second story is a planter box that the birds do not have access to. Under the box is an enclosed section the I have filled with bedding. I built this thinking the birds would use this area to sleep but so far they have been sleeping in...
I got a new quail a few days ago (R). She is white feathered and absolutely adorable. Unfortunately one of my previous female quail (F) keeps fighting her and showing aggressive behaviour. R seems to be frightened and tends to find a cozy corner to sit in. The male (P) and other female (B) don’t...
I happened upon an instagram page featuring a friendly tame house quail. (@fathetfarms)
Looking at types of quail online, I figured out that it is a Mearns / Montezuma quail.
I've become fascinated with the idea of a tame pet quail, but I'm wondering if this is actually something that is doable...
Hello all! I have two small black bantam hens and 4 corournix quail. Can they share a mini coop and run. Those ones you buy from Amazon. Its got two sections for them to go into. I know quail are naturally skittish and hens are hens but they are both about the same size honestly. Can I have them...
i have two coturnix quail (hens) that are about 13 weeks old. one of them, chica, is a little smaller than the other, and so i've always kept an eye on her. her behavior is rather spastic compared to her companion, but she's been like that since they were chicks.
chica has a large swell on her...
Hi there! I'm new to quail and starting a micro homestead. I'm starting off with coturnix quail and buttons, and plan to be selling eggs only right now for hatching and eating. I'm filling out all the paperwork and government stuff but I am stuck on prices. I've looked through the threads and...
My male coturnix quail seems to be unwell. He isn't his normal self. Has a sad face on too. He has slight redness under his eye/above nose. He keeps itching that red area and his body too. Cries sometimes as well. Has lost a slight bit of weight but not significant . Eyes seems to be swollen. He...
