Our brooder has hardware cloth sides so I put two dowel rods through the holes and ziptied around the dowel on the outside of the brooder to keep it from slipping.

I vote pullets. I am not an expert chicken sexer though.

It looks like my Silver Laced Wyandottes.

Thanks for the response. Now I can proceed with my planning.

Hi from Albany Maine. I am a complete birdaholic. I have 35 chickens, and 20 new quail babies. My meat birds and turkeys will be here next month. I love spring. Are there any other quail owners out there or anyone who knows anything breeding/housing them. If you do I would love to chat...

Sorry for the newbie questions but can anyone help?? Any info would be helpful and appreciated.

I have been reading alot of the posts about quail and now I have narrowd down my questions this: I purchased 20 baby coutournix quail last weekend. They are Jumbo browns, Texas A&M's, and gold manchurin. At least that is what the guy told me. I hope to breed them so where do I go from here...

Could it be the cold weather?? Sometimes that affects them.

I cant imagine trying to clean it. It is quite small. However, If you only want a couple chickens and have kids that could clean it then you are all set. It is quite cute.

Adorable!!!

Your setup for her is ingenious.

FYI for all. I am drastically downsizing my flock. I will be bringing a number of birds to Chickenstock. I can not tell you what I have right now. I will have a couple of roos, a dozen or so pullets and some straight run. Bantams and Standard. See you guys there.

Just make sure the feed is NOT medicated.

For a few weeks we have been laughing at my bantam hen trying to sit on her BIG babies. Well last night when I went to get eggs she was sitting on 3 eggs and the babies and acted broody. Is this unheard of?

Maybe keep the mom and babies seperate from the drake until they are larger. That is what I would do.

Quote: The la fleche's and EE are doing great. I even got two eggs this afternoon. One of them was blue. How exciting!!! Oh and my hubby loves "max" as my son named him. good to hear they are doing well. I think the roo has a striking beauty to him, just wish all these dang roos didn't...

That is the crop. It is where the food goes as the first step in the digestive process. If she is eating and drinking ok and acting normally she is probably fine. You can check posts on impacted crops if you are concerned.

No calling my babies names. They are beautiful.

QUICHE!!!!! My new favorite food.
