quails

Hello, Sadly one of my quails just passed away due to a neck injury, and so I quickly got a new quail so the other wouldn't feel lonely. Little did I realize, the new quail has a pink bump on her beak. I'm worried it might be abscess. Can anyone help please? Should I quarantine her? Is there...

Hello all I'm new to BYC, finally made myself a member. Me and my girlfriend have always had an interest in poultry my Nanna has always had chickens and as I child we hatched chicks, which I thought was amazing seeing the eggs from start to finish. From candling them to seeing the move and...

The differences in patterning in a female and male Red Breasted King Quail. The females have 'empty' bibs while the males have 'filled' ones, and the barring on the body and chest is much stronger on the male. Not shown in the pic, but there's some rusty red feathers showing up on the male too.

I have a young female quail, what looks like a white cinnamon, who seems to be obsessed with preening not only her own plumage, but also the feathers of other quail. I know she is female as she has the female voice and call. When settling down to sleep she preens the closest quails to her, when...

Hi! I'm currently raising laying and meat chickens, planning on getting two ducks, and thinking about quails. I don't know much about quails, however, and I'm curious to hear what sort of things you need to know and be cautious about. ANY advice or information is totally welcome and appreciated...

It is too dark to be a white with a more reddish hue compared to the sweetcorn-like white ones I hatched before, and it isn't pale enough to be a silver and it has red lines down it's back... My guess is maybe a cinnamon which makes me wonder how many crazy colour genes Rex and Speckles, the...

Speckles never sits to full term, I said. It'll be fine to let her sit and have a break, I said... Famous last words. :lau Welp, she has babies now! Last 3 times she went broody, she didn't sit long enough for eggs to hatch, so I wasn't worried this time. Rex and Speckles are both proud...
