I've had 2 quail hatches so far a week apart. Last week I had 2 with that I had to cull and this week I have 1 that's a definite cull and another that's possible. 2 had leg issues, 1 had a serious cross beak and deformed face and this last one possibly has curled toes.
Does anyone know if...
I've had my white chinese goose for about 10 years. She's been laying since I got her and I don't know her age. She usually lays around 20+ eggs annually but spring of 22' she only layed around 5 or so. Is it possible she's getting too old? I really wanted to attempt to hatch some of her eggs...

I actually made a post asking about the Delaware boilers from McMurrays, I got a few good responses from people who had them. They seem to be a good option.
I'm in the same boat, I have 3 leghorns who all started laying at 20 weeks in October and late September. The rest of my birds range from 21 to 31 weeks and haven't started laying. The hip points have started widening on a few so I'm hopeful some will start laying by December. The rest I think...
Hello, my legbar roo has a swollen face but only on one side. Occasionally I hear some slight congestion but usually I don't hear any. I originally thought it was from flock mates or maybe he was stung but it hasn't changed much over the past 2 weeks or so. With the tropical storm that just went...
Probably an easter egger, it could go either way on the gender. I have a white one that I got from crossing two of my easter eggers together, they are pretty much a melting pot of recessive genes so there's no guarantee on what color they will be. Maybe update in a couple of weeks?
Cuckoo marans have white feet, off colored legs would be because they're hatchery quality unfortunately. Any cross between the two breeds would just be another barred bird that lays brown to darker brown eggs. But they would have hybrid vigor and could be used for a nice dual purpose cross.
No, unless your hoa or city limits maybe. I don't know since I've only ever lived in the country, lol. The only one you're supposed to have permission for are pure mallards since they can breed with our mottled ducks.
