Help with Quail keeping and ID
« on: September 29, 2008, 17:06 »
Hi everyone,

Being a chuck keeper I need some help with the below

Just rescued ten quail and was wondering if anyone can give advice regarding there care and help me to identify the breed and sexing of them. I have had a good look around on the net but several seem to look the same !!!

I have 6 of the light coloured and 4 of the darker ones ( darker ones a a little smaller) , I have had three eggs today so I know there is a least 3 hens !!!

Currently feeding them chick crumb and keeping them on low setting of heat lamp with my other chicks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

just keep them warm waterwed and fed with budgie seed mix and they should be fine .when you able to get them outside make sure you have wood about 18inch all around the pen so they dont get blown at from cold winds
still alive /............
