Thanks! H

She also has red eyelids!

This is Marvin. I have every reason to believe that she's a pullet except her comb is awfully red. Compared to Chickie (bottom pic) I am now wondering if she is maybe a he. Any thoughts? Got them from TSC and was told they were Ameraucanas so I assume they're actually Easter Eggers?

Thanks for your help. Turned out to be nothing, in the end.

We got these "girls" a month ago. We're quite certain that Domino (black feathers, left) is a Cockerel and George (right) a pullet. Domino has a bright red comb and wattles and his feathers have formed completely different than all the other chicks. His tail feathers are just now coming in and...

We bought seven chicks from TSC two weeks ago. Today I noticed one of them is sneezing and has bubbles in the corners of her eyes. TSC only had small flake pine bedding so that's what they're using. They recommended large flake but they didn't tell me why. Is she likely just irritated from the...

Our chicks :)

I have 12 birds (coturnix). 3 are male. This number seemed high but they were getting along great until the six week mark when I noticed that they were on edge, sometimes chasing each other around and crowing at 3am. This morning my smallest roo has a dime sized bloody spot on the back of his...

I realized the first two panels open up, not just the middle.

They are coturnix.

We found this cage on the side of the road, free. The box next to it is not currently attached. The wire cage had been set up with ramps (as a 3 story cage) and was standing on its end. The front/middle panel opens up. My eggs just hatched and we have 13 chicks. Without knowing the sex of...

What a crazy few days it has been. I finally had a bird hatch and I really thought she was the only survivor. 24 hours later and she was still a lone bird. One was clearly dead in its shell, beak exposed. I was so sad. Finally things started happening! Out of the 17 eggs I had shipped, 9 have...

Filling the water pot in my Brinsea Mini Eco would take less than ten seconds. I can't see if there's a little in the bottom or not, but I know it's close based on how fast it was going away when I could see it. Do I risk opening or not? My eggs started pipping last night and no progress has...

I am hatching coturnix quail eggs. I am supposed to turn the eggs through tomorrow (day 14) and was going to start lockdown the morning after but my eggs have been pretty wobbly today and I read that they're starting to get into position. I'm wondering if I may have a slightly early hatch and I...

Also, my brinsea eco mini came with no cover cap. This was the best I could come up with that didn't seem to mess with humidity. Should I try harder? I don't wanna drown the poor little bumblebees.

I lost sleep last night worrying about my soon-to-be chicks...oh boy. Today is the 13th day I have been turning my coturnix eggs. When exactly do I stop? Tomorrow morning, on the 14th morning? Tomorrow evening? The morning of the 15th day? Secondly, the highest protein content I could find was...

I have eggs in the incubator on day 12 and the highest protein content I could find was 26%. I bought it. Will this be too little for them when they first hatch? Should I supplement with something else?

Thank you!

My uncle passed away unexpectedly this afternoon and I have to make the trek home. I have 17 coturnix quail eggs in a brinsea mini eco on day 8 and will likely be leaving tomorrow or the next day. The nearest friend lives about 2 miles down the road and there is no way anyone can come to my...

Thanks! I ended up finding someone in-state with eggs so I ordered through them. If it doesn't work out I'll let you know!
