coturnix

Hi everyone, I’ve had an outdoor coop of coturnyx quails for over a year now and they’ve been doing great. Everyone did well through the winter last year but I’ve downsized from 10 Quail down to 1 male and 3-4 females. All of them are laying and behaving well but I’ve got one that has a decent...

Hey everyone! Week old since my little buggers have hatched! Chick 1-3 are all common brown quails :3 But, 2 are really cool looking! 1 is a common brown with white tipped wings o.O 1 is yellow with brown / black splotches. Any pictures of what these future cuties will look like??

Today I noticed my sweet little pet has swollen ankles, looks like both hallux (thumbs) are broken also. I actually line most of the cage with newspaper and chopped grasses almost all of the time. Sad, but I feel the broken hallux are kind of inevitable for a species that lives on wire flooring...

I have James Marie Jumbo Brown, Texas A&M, Tuxedo, Silver and a few other colors. I do not ship birds. PM me for details please.

I am fairly new to quail. I hatched these out they are 4 weeks old when I took the pics last week, today the colors havent changed at all. I could easily tell the difference in the ones with solid golden chests and the spotted chests, but these ones are muddled. They turned 5 weeks yesterday and...

I am going to try and build an incubator for quail eggs. Does anyone have any ideas on what should be included in a quail incubator? Also, are they different from chicken incubators? I could definitely use some tips for incubating quail eggs, I will be incubating Georgia Bobwhites and possible...

I am trying to figure out how to design a quail coop with a planter for a plant on the top! I have a rough drawing of what i kind of want but not sure how to go about building! Any advice would be much appreciated! Or if you have a better design/plan please pass it on!(:

Okay so kind of a long story! I have one 8 week old coturnix female. I had recently gotten 5 two week old coturnix quail babies and had them in a separate cage due to age difference. For some unknown reason 4 of the babies passed over a span of 4 days despite my efforts. With one baby left and...

Hello, I woke up today and noticed my quails leg was sticking out from behind her. She is unable to walk on it but she is eating just fine and sleeping well. In unsure of what this ibjury is, can anyone help identify it? Thank you.

Hello all. This might sound like a hard to believe thread, but wanted to ask anyway. I incubated 48 quail eggs and 35 hatched and 2 didn't make it so I have 33 happy quail now at three weeks of age and outside in a pen. The problem is our of the 33 left I only see maybe 2 male and even they...

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 currently keep 15 coturnix quail in a 4x8 aviary, which sits on the ground (but the entire bottom is also covered in wire mesh to keep predators out, with a layer of bedding on top). I've been using the deep litter method for the past 8 months and have overall been very happy with it, but I...

I have James Marie Jumbo Browns, Texas A & Ms, and a few Silvers ( just starting to lay). Eggs are $5 a dozen plus shipping, whatever that is these days to where you are. I use Priority usps. Fertility is great, they are hatching like crazy. I collect eggs several times a day.

I will shortly be starting to raise my first animals...quail! I have done a ton of research and lots of planning, probably too much! I would like to document everything here and get opinions and thoughts as I go down this journey. This is part 1: the build. I decided on an above ground wire...

So I have 3 silkie chicks and am getting 4 coturnix quail babies now my question is... Can I move my silkies out of their current brooder(a fish tank) and into their dresser coop that we made, clean to tank out and then put the quails in the fish tank brooder? I know you arent suppose to put...

Would anyone be willing to share your knowledge of showing their coturnix quail at their county fair? I would like to show a few birds this year as a hobby quail breeder - mostly just to possibly spark some interest in the breed in my community and maybe find any other quail keepers nearby that...

Hi friends, I’m on my second incubation attempt ever. First time using my improved diy incubator after learning a lot from my not great first incubation attempt. I’ve got 48 coturnix eggs that I picked up from a neighbor that says they typically get a 75% hatch rate. It’s day 10 and I candled...

I have a coturnix quail chick that was hatched with no down. Now the other hatchlings are almost feathered in and this quail chick has much less feathering. Anyone heard of this?

So I had to process my extra males yesterday when they started wounding each other. I saved my best male and all the females. All my cots are pharaoh coloured so I selected purely on feather colours. One of the 6 birds I processed had female parts inside but they all had red breasts (sorry I...
