Here is a video of one of my Coturnix quail hatching. The frame speed was enhanced to shorten the video. The actual hatching took about a half hour.

This is Tiberius, our new Reeve's pheasant.

Alright, my son got some Finches during the summer. He got them a nice big cage and we have enjoyed them quite a bit. A couple weeks ago, the female laid some eggs (one a day until she had seven). The pair have been taking turns sitting on them, but the last couple of days, they have broken /...

Well, I have done it now. My son and I were transferring some pheasants to the first set of new pens. I opened the shelter top to put the last in and one of the Amhersts was roosting in the shelter. Flew out before I knew what was going on. A chase ensued, but to no avail. He made it into...

Well, my son bought a Jersey Buff tom a few weeks back (mostly grown) with the intent of having him for Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone seemed onboard. Then, my wife and son started to have doubts about eating "Jimmy". This weekend, my son bought "Penny", a Jersey Buff hen. Hmm...I am thinking...

Making progress on the new pheasant pens!

Just got my first quail yesterday (10 Coturnix). I am very excited. My guess is they are about five or six weeks old. I will post pics soon!

Sunday there is a small animal auction at the Village Auction Co in Sodus, NY. Starts at 10 and they accept consignments up until then. Looks like all kinds of birds, rabbits, goats, pigs, etc. See you there!

Here are our neighbors latest little buggers (born yesterday)...

Have any of you heard of a "splash" golden pheasant?

Does anyone know somebody in Central / Western NY who might have a male Lady Amherst for sale? Got a really good price on three females and it would be nice to have a male, as well.

Ok, so it was only for an little while. One of our Mini Rexes (Sandy) hopped over the divider into the neighboring pen (there WAS a small gap at the top that I thought would aid ventilation). We put her back into her pen the next morning (as soon as we noticed) thinking nothing of it. Well...

I am sure this is nothing new to most of you, but found this egg tonight. It was not in the nesting boxes (it was in the corner). It is the oddest egg I have gotten so far.

I am pretty sure these are supposed to be Black Australorps. Does that sound right?

Well, our farm grows again. Here are our latest additions, Toby and Clover.

Perhaps someone can help with this. Last night I walked onto the back deck and found a dead baby raccoon on the deck. The back yard is fenced and the dogs have run of the yard and the deck. Immediately put the house on lockdown and I did not know where "mamma" may be. My son and I did a very...

Could anyone help me identify these? We have six hens. We also have some RSLs, but no issue telling them apart. These are about 3/4 the size of the RSLs. They lay light brown eggs that are about 2/3 the size of the RSL eggs and lay about every other day. The rooster we got with them was...
