This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "how to raise coturnix quail" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy got great success with it.

@@hornitixx3195 I keep button quail with my superb fruit doves, pink headed fruit doves, rose crowned doves, bleeding heart. For some reason cape and diamond doves tend to not like button quail living with them. It might sound heartless but about 15 years ago a black snake made its way into one of my fruit dove enclosures killing a very expensive fruit dove that's the main reason I added 1 Male and 2 female button quail to every enclosure. I figured if another snake was to make it's way into another enclosure maybe the button quail would satisfy it leaving my doves alone thankfully I haven't had any snake problems since. Each enclosure is 15 feet wide by 30 feet long and 12 feet tall so my birds have plenty of room to keep distance from one another. Button quail will hatch their own eggs in big enough enclosures. I don't think button quail would bother finches. I don't know much about finches but they tend to stay off the ground most of the time don't they. Doves spend alot of time on the ground the quail and doves don't bother each other at all.

@@chickensquailandbirds5650 Well I see someone was triggered by my comment. I raise some very expensive fruit doves ranging from a few hundred dollars each to 4 thousand dollars per pair. Some of the fruit doves I keep can be extremely difficult to reproduce in captivity there price reflects the difficulty in raising them in CAPTIVITY. So when I have a pair of rare and expensive doves and I'm lucky to get a single chick every few years I'm damn sure not gonna take the chance of loosing that chick to a snake so i keep common button quail as ground birds in each enclosure. I only keep button quail in my large flight enclosures they measure 30 feet long by 15 feet wide 12 feet tall. I live in western Maryland so my doves come inside my heated flight building during the winter months most years by March it's warm enough to relocate them to there summer flight pens. Have you ever tried to snake proof a large enclosure apparently not or you would know it's damn near impossible. Have you ever kept fruit doves I would guess not or you would know how expensive and difficult they are to obtain and reproduce.

@@beekeeper7535 It just sounded kinda messed up it sounded like you were almost using the quail as bait. As far as the aviary, just use hardware cloth and bury some a couple feet underground so nothing can fit through and nothing can dig under.

Hi, I’m looking into getting two quails, my house is around 3,000-3,500 sq ft. Is that large enough for two quails? Also, have any tips on where to get button quail chicks? Like at a pet store? Or a professional breeder? Any advice would mean a lot, thanks. Also, is clipping their wings so they can’t fly a good option? My parents don’t want them to fly so just asking, also how do you manage the poop/pee? Also, don’t worry about space, we have a tank that’s about 4 feet long and about 2 feet wide. It’s about 60 gallons. Also, how much calcium (crushed oyster shells) should I put in at once? (Im getting a male and a female or maybe two females and one male) Also how do I know if an egg is fertile? I really don’t feel comfortable with accidentally cooking a potential quail. Also how much food should I give them and how frequently? Also how frequently should I clean the tank? Also when I do clean the tank, should I throw out the bedding? Also, sorry about so many questions.

I have a lonely lill male button quail here. The others attacked him so my daughter decided to rescue him. I honestly didn't think he'd make it but 1 year on and hes fantastic. The only problem is when we introduced a couple of females to him straight away they started attacking his eyes while he coward in the corner 😢. We separated them and gave the girls to my brother and he's been alones every since. I feel terrible for him because I know they're social animals. When I see your quails I noticed they are my larger than our lill man. I'm wondering if maybe he's a runt and thats why they attack him. The female's that we haf looked much larger than him as well. Any advise would be greatly appreciated as we would love to get him so friends. We've grown quiet fond of our wee lill man and he absolutely adores my daughter. He jumps in her hand and all.

Maybe your females were a different breed of quail such as Japanese quail? Or maybe your females were "buttonquail" instead of a "Chinese button quail", which is an entirely different species... Otherwise, the female Chinese button quail should be about the same size as the male. Also, they're monogamous pairs in the wild, so it's best to introduce him to just one female.
