    Quail bedding or wire?

    I use wire mesh, but only because I was gifted a wire based quail coop, 4 quail hens, and a breeding male. Their feet are pretty messed up at this point, with crooked or missing nails, and what looks like sores or mild bumble. I added a plank of wood, so they at least have the option to rest...

    Olive Egger or Brahma

    That looks like a buff Brahma.

    Mystery Chick Identification

    In my experience the black ones can hide other colors(leakage or iridescent), but my best guess is that the black bird is either an Australorp or a Jersey Giant, with Australorp more likely based on size. The grey bird is probably a Sapphire, or some similar hybrid egg layer. It’s a bit early...

    Button quail questions.

    UPDATE: One button quail just now hatched, and I’ve got six in the brooder! (The big guy is a Japanese Coturnix my mom asked me to incubate.)

    Rooster needs new home ASAP! Newark Ohio.

    I’m located in the Newark/Hanover area. The chicken in question is half Plymouth, half RIR. Silber (silver in German) is a very good boy. He’s not good with kids, which is why he’s being re homed. He’s chased after my brother a couple times, and regularly gets into fights with my dog. to be...

    chickens are poultry, so I guess they meant no chickens? But people do keep quail as pets, so you might try getting some Japanese Coturnix?

    Keets keep dying.

    I should also specify that the keets seemed to be dying a lot in the store too. I work part time during the afternoon shift, and around 3 or 4 died in the store last week. But they all seemed healthy when I bought them.

    Keets keep dying.

    So, there was a sale at rural king, and I ended up getting seven meat birds, a few egg layers, and some Guinea keets. Within a day, 3 of the keets were dead. It’s been a few days and I thought they were fine now, but I just woke up and found that another one was dying. It looked like it had a...

    Question of the Day - Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025

    My favorite teacher in elementary school was actually not a teacher. She was the school nurse, and as a disabled person, I ended up spending a lot of time with her. We actually became good friends, but lost contact when I moved up to middle school.(it was a year before I got my first phone) I...

    Strange chicken hunting animal

    Some of the chickens have been found near the end of my driveway, a good 2 acres from the coop at the other end of the property. I have traps out, but haven’t caught anything in a while. I know that there are barn cats on the property, but I keep them well fed, and they haven’t gone after...

    Strange chicken hunting animal

    I’ve been having a problem. Dealt with raccoons before, but they usually take the whole body, or only the head. Yesterday, I woke up to a dead Leghorn. She was the only bird out, but was also the fastest and most agile in my flock. Last night, I heard something outside my window, chasing a...

    Button quail questions.

    So, first a backstory. my old incubator had a really bad cold spot, and, as I have recently graduated high school, my nana got me a new one as a present. She also got me 24 quail eggs…………… which I don’t know anything about. I obviously have experience with chickens, and I’ve recently gone back...
