Martin B Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hi everybody, I'd just like to tell you a little bit about a new Quail Forum. The national quail forum closed down a month ago, but now one of it's most dedicated members has took it upon herself to create a new forum for all quail enthusiasts up and down the country and evern Europe. The forum is a great place to be, just like this one. There is also a live chat room, and live chat sessions are held reguarlly(normally fridays 8pm) So please join up, especially those of you who own quail and help this new forum to grow to a fantastic fountain of knowledge and friendship, like our special haven in the Omlet forum. http://coturnixcorneruk.forumotion.com Thanks for reading Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChicken04x Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Can i just ask what dod you do with quail? They are tiney (not much meat) and there eggs are tiney too. I would love to keep Quail as pets (not for meat) but how do you look after them Oh and concratulations on the Forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 Well their eggs and meat are supposed to be a delicacy! They are very easy to look after. All you need to do is give them food and water really. They feed on chick crumb, and drink water. You can keep them in something as simple as a rabbit hutch or a bird cage or if you can afford it- an aviary. Although quail can fly they prefer to live on the ground. If you keep quail on the floor of an aviary they will eat the split seed dropped by the birds that live above them, however it is reccomended to give them extra food, despite them hoovering up all the mess. If you join the forum, there are lots more people who can give you a point of view and even more information. I'm being a little quick as I am busy today. Take Care, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Thankyou very much for that! I think i will join the forum and have a look around. One more question... are they noisy? Do the male ones crow? thanks agian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 The males don't crow as such, but they do make a strange noise, but unless your neighbours have kept quail they'll mistake it for another garden bird. Females are silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
