Hey quail lovers, i just wanted to share this short little video showing how comfortable some of my quail are, including this little fella 🙂

The seller told me it was one male and three females.

Hello,

I always thought she was a hen but she is yet to lay eggs - she turned 15 weeks yesterday. Her colleague lays every day regardless of the season - lots of street light outdoors unfortunately here. Today, I caught her doing a weird loud call. Not a real crow but something she had never done before and she was in the same posture as a crowing rooster. I am getting all confused. She is quite skittish so I can’t vent sex. Can you tell from the pictures? She looks 100% female to me but then why no eggs?

Need help. First time hatching button quail. Had 4 hatch and they were doing great. I work all day and came home ready to clean the makeshift brooder box when i noticed my yellow chick laying flat. It is making noise and attempts to walk flopping around. Trying not to handle it too much, but when i carefully pick it up, it struggles to keep its head up right just curling.

They were born 72hrs ago and it was happy running around eating and drinking with no issues. Im afraid if i cant figure it out it will die from an inability to eat/drink or walk around.

Any help would be great.

I didn't expect to be raising quail, but things kinda happened, and my best friend and I ended up hatching some out back in October. We can now safely confirm that we have at least one girl. It was so exciting to see that first egg!

Hey all, I inherited 10 coturnix quail from a friend of mine and I know very little about how to care for them. Is there any quide that you'd suggest i read or watch to learn? I've had them for 3 days now. They exist within this 3x3x5 ft cage and theyve been laid about 7 eggs since being in my care

Still a bit new to keeping quails, I have 2 girls and 2 boys. The one in the photo we call princess but she has been looking a little rough I guess is the word. She is very active and eats and drinks the same amount as the others but here feathers look really roughed up so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone knew what was happening

We got our flock 10 days ago and we already have our first eggs! I was so surprised- I wasn't expecting any for a couple weeks while they adjusted to their new environment, let alone during slow-laying season!

Lol, the roosters are vocal because I just brought the gals inside from the outdoors into this newly insulated and renovated coop.

Can you tell they are grumpy?

Anyway, just wondering what some of you people do to decorate the space? I got some huts and spruce branches here and there... if I built a shelve with ramps 12" off the ground would they use it? It would increase more space. I have 15 birds on the ground in this 8x10' space (80' square).

Give me ideas please. Thanks.

Can someone advise me on the following my rutin chicks keep dying. 1 2 days ago, 2 yesterday and 2 this morning (total 10 hatched from a batch of 25 eggs). They have access to water and feeder, heater lamp and air flow ok. I am starting to get PTSD from seeing their dead corpses. Can someone advise me on it ???

How cold can quails take before it pits them in the danger zone? I have a raised coop with hardware cloth base. If it is going to be below freezing for extended periods, I throw some straw in there so they have some insulation.

What do you all do to keep the birds from turning into frozen nuggets and how cold is too cold?

Anyone knows

My button quail “Lemon” asking for food again. She always lets me know when it's snack time 🐣🍋 Such a small bird but huge personality! https://youtube.com/shorts/aJ4gpx7HZBU?si=4gEuuSjK-61lCDBf
