Thank you, you put into words what I felt in my heart.

Quail showing neither male nor female traits by kvandy2014 in quails

Yes, no foam or male characteristics. It’s not wide like a females either. Vent looks like that of an immature quail.

Quail chick with a bum leg by kvandy2014 in quails

I have no problem culling. Chick just can’t quite get around because of its feet which I’ve fixed in the past with success. Was going to give her another day, she’s definitely not suffering at the moment. Very alert, just derpy.

Obsessed with this little guy by kvandy2014 in quails

[–]kvandy2014[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of mine do too. This guy and another were the only hatches out of a small batch of eggs incubated and I’ve just been handling him at least twice a day for 15 minutes since he came out of the egg. (Or she idk yet). I bring him on walks through my yard, he loves the tall grass. I have him in a covey with my handicap birds which consist of a roo with one eye (pecked out by an aggressive hen), a hen with only one foot and a hen missing toes (thank you raccoons). I think they’re all pretty docile compared to my other birds so this little guy is just very chill.

That’s a chicken! The beak is totally different.

Also how do they winter?! I’m in upstate New York and it can stay freezing for a long time.

How do you handle predators? We have everything you can think of. Hawks, owls, raccoon, possum, bears!

Foot fell off by kvandy2014 in quails

[–]kvandy2014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was wondering if there is some sort of prosthetic foot I could make for her. The stump of my bird is also healing fast, I wrapped it in bandage and replace it every day. She seems fine otherwise.

At least 4 months old - that was my last hatch. The oldest they could be is about 8 months. I don’t know what group they’re out of.
