What do Coturnix quail drink?
Earlier today I received a text message on my phone from a lady who just bought some of my quail. I just wanted to share this with you and hopefully answer this question for somebody else
Natalie: "Hi,how are you?
we got home and were surprised, got an egg.... :-)
Also understand they can stop giving eggs because new place, food...
what water do you give them?"
Although a simple question, I get asked this a lot.
Here is my response to here:
Kevin: "That is great news!! If they stop giving eggs put a golf ball or pinging ball with them and they will start right back up. I've never had an issue with them stopping for more than a day.
Water: best is clean fresh fresh tap water. When it's super hot out I mix a gallon of water with a pack of Save-A-chick. It's like poultry Gatorade with electrolytes and loaded with vitamins. Also give them once in a while a little watermelon or lettuce. They absolutely love it. You don't have to do any of this but I found if I spoil my birds they treat me well with a lot of eggs."
Straight from the horses mouth!
Cheers!
Kevin
