Question

How can I catch the fast quail around my house?

Community Answer

If you don't want to kill them, you could gather a couple friends and have them all hold butterfly nets. This way, you can have you and your friends surround them and slowly move towards them. Once you are close enough, you can carefully but very quickly catch them in the net.

Question

How do I clip a quail's wing?

Community Answer

First, catch your quail. Then fold it with a rag, so only its back is showing. Then grab a wing (still holding the quail, and gently snip a centimeter or two off of its long wing feathers. Do the same with the other wing. If it can still fly too much, then repeat the process. Make sure you have flour or baking soda on hand to stanch any bleeding.

Question

What kind of leash do I use to leash quail?

There isn't a harness or leash marketed for quail, as typically they are poultry or game birds. You could test out an aviary harness for parrots, but it may not support your quail's body shape/size adequately.

What temperature do I need to incubate quail eggs?

Community Answer

The same as for chickens, 99.5 Fahrenheit and 37.5 Celsius. Also remember to stop turning on the 14th day.
