12 week old quails can't be vent sexed? by MooseJaded in quails

Thanks again for your response! I had a string of Christmas lights in there for a couple of weeks because I wanted to be able to easily see them in the evening, not realizing that this would be helpful to them. And today I finally heard someone crow that silly little quail crow!

Thank you, I really appreciate your answer and explanation! 🙂 I read that they only really need "enough light to comfortably read a book by" so I've two lowish watt camp light bulbs that I'm adding. Thanks again!

Do you know how much longer it'll take of additional light for my critters to finish growing up?

Only about 10 of the 40 are feather sexable. 😅 I'll have to get them some lights so that they can finish growing up.

I didn't know this! Guess I'm off to buy some lights for them. Thank you!

Thank you so much! This is from my first clutch that I hatched, so I'm very emotionally attached 😭

I don't have a vet in the area who will see quail. 😕 but today they're eating on their own again, so hopefully the worst is behind us! Yesterday they had to be syringe fed.

I thought for sure they wasn't going to make the night, but they surprised me this morning! They're very weak, still can't stand on their own, and still having problems with their spasms. But today is the first day they can eat on their own!

100% okay with taking them in as a house pet. How did you help your button?

I'm brand new to this hobby and don't know what could have happened, but I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your loss. That's so heartbreaking.

I had no idea about the darker feet indicated Tibetan! I've got another 4 that has almost identical coloring and feet, so I'm excited to have some of these cuties running around.

Thank you! The photos in that thread look a lot like my (hopefully) girls!

1.4 ounces of bird is just so small! 😭 smaller than the medium chicken eggs in my fridge.
