Hey all, I'm working on a chick about 2 weeks old who has nothing but clear fluid in crop. Acting listless, just standing not laying down. Eyes mostly closed. No nasal discharge or eye 'bubbles'. No cough or strange movements. I have not seen her poop. Crop does not smell and seemed to only...

Hello, I am in contact with someone who has located but not been able to capture a chukar in La Costa, CA. Anyone lose a bird? It has an overgrown upper beak. Please PM me. Susan

I'm setting shipped LF cochin eggs today, trying to manage my hopes as they were not handled gently. If there's anyone in the San Diego area with fertile LF cochins (esp blues and blacks) I would love to purchase some eggs! 17 going in the incubator tonight. Was looking for an android chicken...

Arrgh. I love my black cochin. She's super young, just started laying a month ago, was going at 1 every other day which I dutifully collected (oops!). Now she's hiding her eggs or not laying. I thought I looked everywhere in her run area... Do they cover their nests if they are free ranging...

Hi, I just shipped a really sweet buff Orphington to the CAHFS lab for testing, I'm very bummed that she didn't make it. She showed every sign of Marek's so I expect that's the lab result I will get back, but I want to be extra sure as she is the second bird that went down this way. The first...

Hey all. Does anyone want a female Chukar and live or be willing to travel to San Diego, near the i8 and i5 ? Susan

Just curious, what do you think this chicken is? We got her as a rescue, someone turned her in as a 'baby eagle'. Thanks! Susan

Hi, Sorry for the previous mistake in posting this information. I guess I haven't kept up with the changes in the forums. In my haste to get these ducklings into better conditions I failed to read the rules. Sorry again! If you live near Southern California I have 39 (that's no typo) pekin...

If you live near Southern California I have 39 (yes, no typo) peking ducklings dropped off in an overnight box at a wildlife facility that I am looking to place in homes. If you are interested in some, or all, of these guys please let me know ASAP as my aviaries have chickens at the moment and...

Hi, I have a wonderful young rooster who is tame and yet very male. He is just learning to crow. We got him from a feed store to help re-hab an injured wild turkey, he was supposed to be a female (I guess that's only 87% accurate!). Does anyone near me want a rooster? He is gorgeous! We...

Oh boy, here I go again. I really thought this was a Quail... So did the Humane Society and Project Wildlife.. Now that I got a picture of her I am starting to doubt the Quail theory and starting to think Bantam... What do you think? Susan

Hi all, I have received a rescued domestic quail, has some pin feathers left on it's neck and back. It looks smaller than my bobwhite so it could be a button. I could use a buddy for it, is there anyone near San Diego that has button quail? Susan

Hi all. Some of my favorite bantams have started crowing. They are about 8 weeks old, I only want to keep about 8 hens and I currently have 24 birds! So Roosters are free, hens toss me a couple of bucks. I will meet you part way driving but won't ship. They are all different kinds of...

Hey, Any clues on what these might be? Susan

Right on time, the first quail chick just blasted her way out of the shell. Amazing, took about an hour. I was cheering her on and peeping for her. There are 3 more eggs pipped, and some that I'm not sure are viable. I'm a little worried as she doesn't seem to have popped up on her legs, but...

Geeze I think I've gotten more grey hair from this batch of chicks ! They're 2 weeks old tomorrow-ish I look out at the brooder and see them all laying flat with necks stretched out looking dead. So I wake them up, they're fine. Then I see one this morning on it's side kicking it's feet, I...

Ok, Just the other day I had a website I was browsing that had pics of adults next to the day old chicks, it was AWESOME.... Now I can't find it!!! Care to share your favorite chick ID website with me? Is that post in a different part of backyard chickens? I'm so distracted by chicks that I...

I'm obsessed. They are all so darned cute. I am working with my son on doing the ID's on them as a project for the summer, working on his observational skills so maybe he can find the butter in the fridge someday... tee hee! Our current mystery is the silver feathered leg chick in the upper...

My mixed bantam chicks arrived today! Lost one in a couple of hours but the rest look ok. They've had lots of water and some feed and are running around settling their pecking order in their new brooder. I was sent a few extras... like a LOT of extras! eek! What cracks me up is the one...

Well I'm hooked on fowl! I'm going to get a couple of bantams and quail. But I had so much fun with my duckling snail hunter that I must replace him/her. I think I'd like another buff duckling as it was rather small and so darned smart (for a duck!). I didn't have a choice last time as I...
