Hello and welcome! I’m very interested in keeping quail someday. They look like a lot of fun.

Hi I'm Lauren. I keep 6 female Japanese quails and they are adorable. My favourite thing about them is that as well as being cute they give me novelty tiny eggs that I can use and make money from. I also enjoy reading books and I do a lot of baking and other cooking, which is why these are such great pets for me. I don't have any other pets and as I only got my quails at the start of November '19 this is a scary new journey! My most recent breakthrough was yesterday when I had to clean out the quails. I went in and found that one of them had a bleeding wing. I think this was from hitting it on one of the bricks which I stupidly keep my feeders on so that they don't get muck inside. I cleaned it up and then put it by itself to heal with its own food and water. I gave the remaining birds in their run a bowl full of sunflower seeds. Before that today, only half of my quails maximum had ever laid every day but when I went in today, I found 5 eggs in the run and even one where I was keeping my injured quail! This was amazing for me! I can tell that at least one of them is new to laying because one of my eggs didn't have any shell which, when I looked it up, meant that the quail was unused to laying. I have had a fabulous day and I hope everyone will have this kind of experience one day!!

Yes, last night we let it go back to its friends because it seemed happy and the wound was no longer bleeding and had started to heal.

Good afternoon Lauren and welcome to BYC. Would love to see pictures of your quail, I’ve never kept them. Where in the world do you live?

I live in the centre of UK. I can take some pics tonight and send them to you.
