I have a silkie chick over 3 weeks old (I think hatched on May 15th) I'm hoping you all can help with gender. Can we tell this young or does it need more time?

Hi all, I bought two straight run bantams on 4/5/19 and now that they have feathers I'm wondering if they are boys or girls. Buff Cochin bantam and Polish bantam. Also, is there a specific name for this color Polish? Thanks!

Hi all, my bunnies are turning 6 weeks old on Saturday and I'd like some help confirming their genders. It's looks like 1 girl, 2 boys, and a questionable. They weren't too thrilled with the examination so I only got a peek for a few seconds. Brown, looks like a girl Dark gray, looks like a...

Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me determine if I actually have toms or not. I have three turkeys (2 blue slate and 1 bourbon red) I picked up as day olds on 6/29/18 and two bronze turkeys I picked up as day olds on 7/13/18. So the older ones are about 18 weeks and the younger are about 16...

I just finished hatching a bunch of Coturnix Quail chicks (hatched 17th-18th) and two of them seem to have a curled foot (both seem to be the left foot). This is the first hatch I have had with this egg source. In previous hatches of my own eggs I have only had a curled foot two to three times...

This morning my mom mentioned she didn't know how long the broody had been setting in the upper retaining wall area in the garden at their place. I head over there after work and hear a chick peeping in distress. The hen and an unknown number of chicks were still up in the upper retaining wall...

Help! We had a broody set a clutch at my folk's house without us figuring it out until she was in lockdown. She left the nest late today with 5 fluffy chicks and still had about 8 eggs left in the nest. I wasn't able to get there until this evening and checked on the eggs, which were cold to the...

I am wondering if someone has suggestions for quail leg bands to track Coturnix quail for breeding purposes. I tried the plastic bands with numbers on them and they fall off really easy. Like slide off over the foot. They have only stayed on a few of the birds. I have also used some of the...

Hi all, I just hatched a bunch of Coturnix Quail chicks and I got a lot more color variation than I was expecting. Can I get your thoughts on what you think the fluff color will turn into? I am still learning what the different colors are called. The parents are kept in groups with one male and...

I just hatched a batch of coturnix quail chicks and at least one of them got stuck in the egg. Two were fine once I helped get the shell off, but the third must have been like that for a while because it's neck is still twisted to the side like it's still in the egg. All chicks are now in the...

Hi all, These are my button quail chicks hatched on 8/14/17, so they are 2 weeks old today. Can someone help me figure out what color patterns they are? Or will the color change as their feathers continue to grow in? I have no clue what the parents look like since these were eggs I bought...

I am incubating 24 button quail eggs I received through the mail. I am using a homemade incubator made from a styrofoam cooler with a computer fan and two lights controlled with a water heater thermostat. I started incubation on 7/28/17 and hand turned the eggs in cartons (lifting one end up on...

Hi, I have been using this site for poultry info for a couple of years but have finally signed up. I have chickens, coturnix quail, two turkeys (Thanksgiving and Christmas), and just started with button quail. I ordered button quail eggs online to incubate and this morning they started hatching...
