    Were they permanently wing-clipped?

    Hello everyone! I own 12 quails. 3 of them I bought half a year ago from a breeder, and the rest are home hatched and grown. They are prospering and live together now :) I noticed that my new quails are very flighty, but the old ones can only fly half a meter up at best, as if they are...

I know it’s a stretch but just curious, I’ve heard some bad stuff about purina medicated feed and I want some advice from more experienced people rather than the internet. My friend got me the wrong feed and I’d hate for...

    Coturnix Quail coop. Do quails get bored?

    I read recently that quails can get bored if they aren't foraging, so I refurbished an old playground set to be a coop with a doggy cage attached to the side. Before the pictures I posted here it was empty with some rocks that act as ledges. For the most part they would just burrow in the ground...

    Unknown tiny black flies on my quails

    Hello, My quails have been fighting recently, resulting on damaged eyelids. I noticed they're itching their heads more than usual, and there's tiny tiny black flies on their faces, as if they were especially attracted to the ones with damaged bloody eyelids. I checked and I don't see anything...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Hello, my quail chick has a swollen foot, it doesn’t seem to be bumblefoot because it is swelling on the top of the foot rather the bottom. Could it possibly be a form of gout? This is my first time hatching and raising quail. I also have a chick with wry neck and I purchased the 80ml vitamin E...
