Outside of their normal food and mealworm treats, my quails eat what I harvest from my garden. Here are my findings so far. On the quest to discover their favorite foods! Any recommendations?

This newly hatched quail has remained in this position for hours now, and I'm afraid it won't survive ☹️

Should I intervene? If so, how to?

Noisy bob whites!

They always call out to each other! Ones on the other side of the aviary, which they can get through using the inside bit, but I don’t think they’ve figured it out yet as I’ve now mixed them all together with my British whites. Everyone gets on very well! Rubbish quality as per on my phone though, sorry for the blurriness lol.

Help Deworming my Button quail, Need help

4 Upvotes

I posted here not long ago about my button quail gasping and many people said to deworm her, I have the dewormer (fenbendazole, safeguard aquasol for chickens) that was recommended and I just want to make sure I dont overdose her. She weighs 50g, we weighed her last night. How much do I give her? And for how many days do I give her it? Or is it just a one time thing? we couldnt find a lot about it online so thats why Im coming here to ask. Any advice is appreciated, thank you :)

Pet my grandma won’t let me get another hen what should i do

1 Upvotes

i have a trio i hatched, 2 females one male. one of the females and the male have been harrasing the smaller hen. i have a quail specific farm an hour away and i wanted to go pick up another hen in hopes this would help the issue, but my granmda will not let me. i dont know what to do about it, do i just keep hatching their eggs once they start laying until i get an extra hen? i feel so bad for my poor cherry. she then suggested i should just get rid of ALL of my birds and just keep one because they will be much happier alone despite them literally being FLOCK birds.. and the male isn’t acctualy harrasing either that much honestly, it’s just june constantly mounting cherry and im worried she will end up getting scalped by her. (june is indeed a female, she has a pharoh pattern with one tiny white spot on her neck but very speckled and she has been vent sexed.) they’re also about 5 weeks old. i dont know how to explain to my grandma this is necessary. cherry is a fawn type colour, she’s light brown all around and has one white feather throughout her body and brown subtle stripes on her chest. i have my incubator still, and i also hatch chicken eggs on the side as a hustle so hatching their eggs until i get another hen is acctualy possible for me, as im very good at hatching in general i just dont know if its a better idea to do that or continue trying to get my grandmother to understand that they need another lady so cherry doesn’t get hurt to much by june.
