I have a bird with a broken wing. She appears to have a large hematoma where her wing connects to her body. She's eating and drinking and walking around. What can I do to help her? I've got her isolated with food and water with poultry cell in it. She's in a quiet, dark room.

I'm about to get a pair and I was wondering if it was hard to breed them.

I'm already experienced keeping coturnix so I decided to try with buttons, and even trying breeding them

Do they incubate the eggs themselves or is it like with coturnix? And do I have to make them go broody?

Those small cages, 3 sections that can open into one, with a meshed bottom so the eggs roll down for gathering, seem popular. I have one.

But I can't help feeling sorry for the quail, and thinking I need to expand their space with a run.

When I had a bigger coop for them (designed for chickens), I always had to get on hands and knees to retrieve eggs layed in random locations. The smaller cage I don't have that problem.

What's the community's thoughts on how much space quails should have? Thanks.

I have 16 birds in a 18x18 foot aviary.

A lot of it is exposed but I have an A-frame shelter that provides protection from rain/snow but isn't entirely wind proof, since they need to get inside.

It's going down to 2 degrees F by me. I decided to bring them back into my basement for the next week just to be safe. I'm not sure if I'm being overly cautious since this is my first time raising them.

I'm located in San Antonio TX and am interested in raising quail in my backyard. I'm ready to start buying supplies to prepare but not sure if they are sold at tractor supply. Let me know!

Wondering what the going rate is, or your pricing, and where you are, preferably for jumbo coturnix

Straight run

Young/"teenager" birds

Hatchlings etc for snakes etc to eat

Meat for humans to eat

Eggs for eating

Eggs for hatching

Thank you!

I'm so excited, I am finally going to make the leap and raise quails for the first time. Please I would love to hear your best tips. Thanks

I might get quail and i have so many questions can you guys answer them?

1. How many quail can I keep in a 7 L× 2 W×1 H cage and how many males to female?

2. Can you turn chicken feed into quail feed and if so how?

3. What are the Benifits of quail eggs and what do they treat like?

4. What can you use quail eggs for?

5. What is the best kind of long living quail for egg production but not meat?

6. How do you get quail to lay eggs in winter?

7. Are quail worth it?

8. Do I have to use a wire bottom or can I use a wood floor them put tile on it and straw?

9. How often do they lay eggs and for how many years do they continue?

10. What can I do with extra males besides killing them?

I could go on and on but I've decided to stop and ask more questions in another post I would really like to know and am very curious about them and am one day hoping to get some.

I might be getting quail in future and have all ready designed a hutch but hasn't built it yet. Let me know if this is a good plan or if it can be modified.

I want it to be 14 feet long, the hutch itself is 3-4 feet tall, the legs are 1-2 feet, it's 2 feet wide, has 4-6 separate cage each 1-1.5 feet tall. Each cage has a indoor all closed in space with a sand floor and a out door space with a tile floor and straw.

I have a few questions before I decide on exact dimensions.

1. Is 1 foot tall enough for tthe hight of each cage or should i go with 1.5 feet​?

2. Is 1 foot high enough of the ground or should I go with 2 feet?

3. Is it safe to keep the hutch leaning against a chicken run facing away?

4. And lastly how many quail should I keep in each separate cage of these dimensions? 7 feet long ×​ 2ft wide × 1-1.5 feet high

My female Jap quail (roughly 1 and a bit years old) had a hard and rather large crop a few days ago so i checked on her in the morning and it felt heaps better. Now when i picked her up she vomited some clear, smelly liquid and her crop had felt liquidy and loose, as well as still being large. How do I treat sour crop quickly? ive isolated her in a separate cage but whats the further steps?
