This listing is for 12 + extras of PURE golden manchurian coturnix quail hatching eggs. My strain comes from James Marie Farms and they are large compared to other strains of this coloration and lay eggs with with a glossy appearance and a very dark colored blotched shell. $15 for the 12+...

I have 4 emus and I am not certain of their sexes but im almost certain i have both sexes going by the sounds they make. But 2 were vent sexed by a farmer i bought them from as females when they were chicks. They will be 3 years old this spring and I was very much expecting to get eggs from them...

Can anyone tell me what color my keets are? I bought 16 but i was only able to get a photo of these 6 because they kept jumping out of the box. The guy i bought them from told me he had "blues, browns and whites"

Can grass be fermented the same way as grains a veggies? My chickens dont get much green stuff in the winter because they for some reason never wander further than 50ft from the coop and since the coop is in the forest no grass grows in that area. I have been picking 5 gallon bucket fulls of...

I was going to build a few new enclosures for the birds and I thought some high enclosures would be amusing. My plan is for new enclosures that are 16ft high and several perches at different heights but would the pheasants actually use the space or would all the height be a waste of materials?

A while back I broke one of the pieces that goes to my automatic egg turner. The piece is the part that attaches the motor to all of the rails. I had a second turner so I put the part in my shelf with plans to glue it back together later on...and then i lost it. Where can I buy a replacement and...

Can I use Safe-Guard goat dewormer (fenbendazole) in my 9 month old emus water the same way i deworm smaller "poultry"? 3cc per gallon of water for 2 days and again 14 days later. I am concerned about deworming them for the first time because it is a little difficult to get the ideal weight of...

I received these yesterday and since this is an auto-sexing breed I am concerned because it looks like I have 9 males and 1 female. But perhaps not? Only one of the chicks has the obvious stripes that females of this breed should have but a couple of others have faint hints of the striping...

Since snowflake bobwhites are just a mutation of mexican speckled bobwhites and therefore the same species of bird what happens when the the 2 are bred together? Would I get some of each, all become the same breed/mutation of just one of parents or have traits from both?

Are there any problems with fencing emus in forested areas instead of open fields? My main concerns are trees falling on the fence but that seem like rare circumstance that could happen with most fences and poison oak(and possibly other small toxic woodland plants). I also have a small concern...

3 days ago i found one of my 11 weeks old chickens dead. I did not really think much of it because the other chickens in the same tractor looked healthy and thought maybe it froze to death because it was found dead in the run area and not in the warm coop. The next day another chicken was dead...

How long after death of the egg will the veins remain visible when candling? Are there other ways to know if the chicks are dead or alive inside the egg?

I also posted this in the health section of the forum but thought people in this section of the forum would have more experience with keeping both parrots and chickens. I am going to be vaccinating chicks soon and I have never kept chickens but instead pheasants, guinea fowl and parrots. From...

I am going to be vaccinating chicks very soon and I have never kept chickens but instead pheasants, guinea fowl and parrots. From what i understand the marek's vaccine has a live strain of the virus in it. A strain that effects turkeys. Will the chicks pose a threat to my other birds after they...

These are three days old and hatched from pale brown eggs. I am guessing they are rhode island reds but what do you all think? If they are to young to tell what else could they be besides rhode island reds?
