Hey everyone! I feel like it's been forever since I've been on here!!!! I don't know if you remember me, I have a little d'anver quail hen named Olive who I do showmanship with and in 4-H. I recently got 2nd out of 14 children in my experienced senior class at the Northeastern Poultry Show, I am...
Olive is beginning to lay again! I found an egg in her section, so I put out a bowl with some hay in it so she doesn't get pushed out of the "big girl" nest boxes!!!
Yep, I've been working with her and been feeding her some popcorn and she's coming around. I don't think she's ever been outdoors; I let her out into the run and she seems to be very interested in her surroundings.
On the other hand, Big Bertha (My new cochin) has settled in just fine and has...
Sorry that I'm cluttering up the d'anver thread with plymouth rocks however no one has replied to the rock thread on here... Oh and those were cell-phone pics, so not the best.
Yep, I talked to him and he said it was a color he was working on, and no, they are not in the APA. They are gorgeous though, and he entered some in the Northeastern Poultry congress. She is also a bantam. She was very scared yesterday because she was in a carrier for most of the day, but now...

Congrats! I hope she keeps up the good work!
Went to the congress today, didn't get any d'anvers, but I did get a red pyle plymouth rock from Bob Murphy who is VICIOUS!!!! And I also won a pair of standard white cohins in the raffle that a friend entered. I sold the rooster, and kept the hen...
I'm hoping someone on here can answer this.... My d'anver has gotten a little ball of hard poo stuck to her vent feathers, howeer it isn't blocking her since it's a little bit below. I have a show tomorrow. Normally I would just bathe her but it's bit cold outside now (I'm in New England), so I...
This new BYC is going to take some time to get used to! This is the only thread I'm still subscribed too, so I shouldn't have to use BYC too often now...
Going to the Northeastern poultry congress next weekend... I'm gonna be looking at the sales for d'anvers and if not then I'm gonna hunt down the exhibitors and find me a new little d'anver And if none of them are available (Which would be crazy, there's always like 50, and last time there were...
