I am in search of one or two fully-grown Araucana hens to add to my flock. I am hoping for true blue or blue-green layers. I will pick up only, as I do not want to ship the birds in this bitterly cold weather. I live in the Buffalo, NY 14226 area, so anything that is about a 3-4 hour drive from...

I have an 8 month old Araucana rooster that just overnight started walking like a penguin about a month ago. He is eating and drinking fine and he seems alert. Could this penguin walk be due to his purebred status? Inbreeding? A result of trying to breed him for the rumpless trait? Also, he has...

My Araucana rooster is walking like a penguin. I just came out one morning and he couldn't really walk, and when he did it was upright and waddling like a penguin or a duck. I read another thread where a guy had the same problem and he gave him Ivermectin and it worked like a miracle drug. This...

Chickens are not legal in the suburban neighborhood where I live. However, I'm not letting that stop me! I've been keeping Coturnix quail in my basement for 6 months and I have loved having the birds and eggs. We recently hatched 2 Bantam Cochin chickens and 5 more Coturnix quail. They are all...

Hi, I'm new to raising quail. I think one of my birds has the flu or something. What do I do? We had a covey of 10 birds. One bird died ("Propecia" was her name) from what looked like was the same thing when she was just a few days old. I felt like this was probably normal to lose a couple of...

My first chick was hatched 6 days ago. He was super cuddly and let me pick him up and nuzzle in my hair and stuff until today. Now his pin feathers seem to be growing in. He looks different and he's become really skittish. This seems to have happened overnight. Any tips on how to make a pet...

This is my first time incubating eggs. I have 12 Coturnix Quail eggs and 3 Button Quail eggs. We are on Day 9 of incubation. I have 3 thermometers in the incubator. The temperature has been steady at 99.5 F. I had some trouble dialing in the humidity level at first. I would put a wet paper towel...
