Hi everyone, I have been looking around the Internet lately for transportation coops but all that comes up is the plastic one. I have been using pet carriers but I would like to have wooden ones that wouldn't ruin the feathers. If anyone has any ideas or the dimensions I would really appreciate...
I was on craigslist and I saw this post for a pair or trio of red golden pheasants. I wanted to ask if these looked pure and if I was getting a good or bad deal. Thanks
Sorry if the link doesn't work

How long to wait after the chick has pipped. It must have pipped before 5:40 in the morning (when I got up) and still has not zipped. How long to wait until I help it out? Thanks
I get a coop for my birthday but I need to know if I should have indidual breeding pens or just one big coop. I have these to show and for looks and because I like them.......... so what do you think would be best? Have one big coop and then a few weeks before the fair put them in them in their...
Who new that eggs could stink so much. I walk in today and am blasted with I think the worst smell that I will ever smell. So what I did was open up the lid (which came with a whole new, more powerful wave of stink) and Dare I say it sniffed them all. I sniffed them all until I found the four...
Well today was the 21 first day an my broody in a clutch of 2 fertile eggs hatched out 1 of them I accidentally dropped the other one luckily it wasn't deveolping because it was infertile. So now I have one yellow chick I am so happy. Can't wait to see her raising them herself!
Well none of my roosters are breeding age and I don't want to risk shipping so my freind said I could pic up any eggs I could find at her house. Turns out I could only find 2 eggs that I have no clue what they are tons of roosters pretty ones may I ad and a lot of different breeds of chickens so...
I am worried about my broody hen it seems that she isn't even eating. If I take her off the nest she wil just squat ther in the position that she was in on the eggs. Should I be worried? Thanks
I might be overlooking it but where is the little smile that had a raincloud apear over it. It mignht not have even been there loooooong day. IF it was there why did they take it off? Thanks for any input For pertainiing to that perticular smilie.
My lone little quail aka peepers died today. He wasn't eating at all and lived only to be 3 days old it is so sad. I really wanted a pet quail. It never gets easier to see them die. Atlest now he won't be lonely. Right?
I know the basics genetics and I know that a female chicken can not look like her mother because she doesen't aquire her sex genes. But if the hen layed the eggs she has to give some biological information to it then right? I know that a male gives his sex chromosone to each egg but the hen only...
I am so happy out of three Bobwhite Quail eggs that I put in and didn't candle once one hatched! One died I am guessing on day 11 and the other infertile. He thinks he is a human and I have named him Peepers because that is all he does! He has really long legs and piped at the wrong end but is...
So today is the day that my eggs are supposed to hatch and they aren't pipping or even rolling and it's the 21 day. I know they can hatch a few days later but I am very anxious right now and I am wondering how many days I should leave them in there after today? Thanks
OK so my little female is now running around lose and they are calling her should I let her find her way back in from they way she got out or try catching her I think I am going to try catching her. I am nervous our dogs like to kill birds.........
I have 4 Bobwhite Quail 1 male 3 females and I of them the most timid is being picked on by the male and the other 2 females. The male is paired up with one but occasionally breeds the other one but if she go's by him and her they both chase her out and peck on her. Then the other female if she...
I am wondering I have a White Black Tailed Japanese Bantam that has gone broody. What i am wondering is if she can sit on a few Bobwhite Quail Eggs. Would she crush them? There are only 3 eggs but i don't know if she would take the eggs. Also since the period for quial eggs is longer would she...
