I have a silkie that went broody earlier this year, which was fine. We got two chicks from the feed store, one died after the second night but the other is now mostly grown and doing well. Problem is the silkie is broody again but her baby still hasn’t integrated into the main flock still and...

I have two pullets, an EE and a Blue Australorp, that just turned 24 weeks and the australorp just started laying. I’ve been trying to prevent that by making sure they don’t get too much artificial light since I don’t want them laying over the winter ideally; they are pets too. There are some...

It seems like my couple are having issues. In the last few weeks my female stopped laying eggs which is weird but I figured it was because I changed their cage and moved it from the kitchen into my room. I had also noticed both the male and female had some feathers ruffled on the back of their...

I’ve had two of two hatch out of a homemade incubator! What color will the dark one be as an adult? The mother is a light colored wild type and the father was a wild type or a tuxedo. I’ve been having luck using a heat pad with a towel on top in the brooder. Much safer than a heat lamp.

I figure there is a 99% chance she is an EE, just curious! Got her from Concord Feed in Dublin. The other chick was listed as a Blue Australorp.

I have a pair of button quail who are a male/female pair but I don’t seem to be getting fertile eggs from them. They sleep next to each other and I have seen the male sit on the female’s eggs but I have put several in an incubator and gotten no development and they seem to be infertile but...

I got these quail at two weeks old and I’m starting to identify the males. I have two for sure right now and they are free to good home! Would prefer they not be culled! I’m in the Bay Area and I can meet you in the Livermore/Dublin/Pleasanton Area for pick up. First two pics are first male...

It’s hard to see but it doesn’t look like the egg is fertile to me. I’ve been trying to hatch several eggs from this pair and I haven’t been able to figure out if it’s my homemade incubator that’s stopping development or if they aren’t fertile to begin with! They sleep next to each other, they...

I have a pair of button quails and the female has laid an egg every day for 12 days now. At first I took out the eggs but I’ve left the last six and she has laid them all in the same nest then she covers the eggs a bit. Could this mean she wants to brood? I’m concerned about leaving the eggs in...
