Overtaken by life, and death, and after posting at least a couple of times asking questions or hoping for help with zero responses/interaction, thought maybe this wasn't the right place for me.

I have four bantam Cochins that are about 2-1/2 years old. Last summer two went broody for most of the season, but when the temps cooled, they came out of it fairly quickly and started laying again after two weeks. This year the same thing happened again, broody all summer, and the temps cooled...

Hey Brandon, Thanks for your message. I only had six males to begin with, so now that two are gone due to noise issues and at least one more is becoming more noisy, and maybe actually two more, I'm really eliminating my ability to breed any birds, which is definitely a concern. It was...

Thanks, Brandon, for your input. Adorable baby in your profile picture. So interesting. I hadn't considered it a genetic trait regarding crowing. Also interesting about covering the cage. That's definitely more of a possibility during late fall, winter and early spring, but it gets so hot here...

Hi Kiki, Thanks so much for your timely response. Much appreciated. I wonder if the type of quail makes a difference? I got the jumbo Coturnix variety. I tried for nearly three years to find someone to build me a "community" cage to keep all the birds together with a higher ratio of females to...

Hi, I'm new to quail myself now (just since mid-March 2022) and am wondering how your birds are after this amount of time? I had to eliminate two very noisy males a few weeks ago, and now another one seems to be getting more and more noisy too now that the other two are gone. My ratio has been...

Thanks so much for the info. It's an older MacBook Pro. I don't see three dots at the top left (or right) of the page. Might be the difference in browsers as well? I hope I figure it out before I frustrate other users! lol

Thanks for your reply. I'm trying to figure out how this site works and could use some pointers from anyone with the time and inclination. I'd like to ask quail questions, but can't figure out how to get to the right section to post something, or how to post it to the people who know about...

Hello! I just joined BYC today after finding the site on an internet search for info. I think we're nearly neighbors. How fun to find someone else in this local area. I originally wanted six bantums and was only able to obtain four pullets last summer. They're about a year old now and I'm...

I came across BYC from an internet search regarding quail injuries. One of my males was bleeding and it was a big concern. Turned out to be a small cut on his toe. I separated him to a quiet place for a couple of days and he's been fine and appears fully recovered. Not sure what the issue was...
