I don't clean the birds myself (like a bath), but i leave a dust bath in there for them which they looove. i clean the big coop whenever it looks or smells dirty, so around once a month since it's pretty big. I separated the top and bottom floors because one was injured for a while so she needed...

I gave my quail hen an epsom bath because I thought she had a problem with her vent, but I realized its the preen gland thats the issue. You can't tell in the photo but a bit of her preen gland is visible at the base, why do you think this buildup/infection happened? none of my other birds have...

Thanks for the advice! Are any Epsom salts ok for them? Are there ingredients I should worry about?

I noticed my 2.5 year old Coturnix girl Jeffrey is a bit skinnier/weaker than usual, I did a full body checkup and noticed her vent looked kinda gross and crusty (pic attached). She's not very obviously sick, but I have a feeling it'll get worse. I didn't find any injuries, nothing that looked...

Hello people of BYC, recently my lovely boy Jay Z passed away of an unknown cause this past week. I loved having him around to warn the girls of the Hawks, and showing them the lovely little treats in their run. below is a picture of him 💓 Is there anyone near the Los Angeles area that has a...

Hello all, yesterday and this morning I noticed 1 of my chickens was sneezing up a storm. She would have sneezing spells, spaced out but would go on for two minutes or so. This morning when she had one of these, some snot came out of her nose and flung onto the ground and on her face. It was...

Hello again! She seems to be doing fine now, and I found 2 eggs tonight so I’m guessing she’s not egg bound. Thank you all for your help! Her friend payed this beautiful dark egg, I’ve never seen a quail egg like it

I felt around and found nothing, I should probably add some extra calcium in there though, it was in their old coop but I forgot to move it over. Are you sure I should call the vet? She seems totally fine besides her drooping her head occasionally.

She is around 5 months old Feeding her game bird crumble, one from nutrigina She’s living with another hen, I can’t tell who’s poo is who’s but from what I can see it’s fine Her friend and her get along very well No, she hasn’t shown any fear with me though, never even running when I go to...

Hello, I’m making this post to ask if I should be concerned that my hen is acting very sleepy lately. No other symptoms, she’s eating, drinking, has a good weight and color. when I pick her up she wakes up and becomes aware, as she normally would. She’s very docile. she may have just gotten...

His favorite is Marges favorite XD its a love triangle over here. I'll see if he likes the other girl though, more like if she can stand him.

I know her friend would miss her and vice versa. I also wouldn't want to leave my 2 hens alone with the male, they'd def be over mated.

My partner might be able to take him. He would live alone. I just worry that leaving my rooster only 2 hens will end up stressing those 2 out. I couldn't cull her, she's my pet and I also want to keep as many girls as possible. I don't want to hatch more because I'm going to college and can't...

I currently have 4 quail. 1 male 3 females. Background: I got this Coturnix quail hen when she was around three weeks old with her sister. I got them because my rooster had no flock mates left after his last girlfriend died (out of the 3, I sound like a bad quail owner I promise I’m not). The...

Sorry for lack of updates, she’s all good now. Maybe a little more cautious, but all healed up!

I think I’ve been feeding my quail scratch their whole life! Now I’m looking for a good food for my quails, I have three hens and a rooster. If anyone could drop links that would be great.

As I was working I noticed a hawk stalking the quail coop and at one point going down. I wasn’t concerned because my quails live in a very secure coop, I’ll attach a picture. I scared the hawk away but I wasn’t able to carefully check my quails. I just went to check on my them though, and I...

:( damn.

My beautiful falb fee that I just posted about has gone missing. My mom was taking care of them while I was away. Literally yesterday the same thing happened (she left the door unlocked and they got out) but she found both of them. I’m upset she didn’t learn her lesson. Anyways, this morning she...

So this composter is well known for its temperature control, and it makes it really hot inside no matter the weather. I live in Southern California, it doesn’t get colder than 50° here. I am adding both green and brown material style, I add either a chicken bedding, dry leaves or other animal...
