    More color ID'ing, plus better pics of my buttons.

    Oh, I also meant to put tuxedo SPLASH for those ones, don't know why I put pied. Too lazy to wade through and edit.

    More color ID'ing, plus better pics of my buttons.

    Yeah, I couldn't get the right lighting on the chicks, they don't appear to have any color besides yellow, and they are brighter in person. My guess on these chicks is two silvers, two blue breasted, one red breasted, one golden red breasted, and three whites. Oh? I was told it was a blue...

    More color ID'ing, plus better pics of my buttons.

    First of all, would anyone be willing to color ID my recently hatched chicks? Unfortunately there are only 9 now, as the little light yellow one on the left of the pic passed away today, but if anyone wants to try on that color, feel free. I also have taken pictures of the rest of the...

    An Ultrasound, a MRI, a specialist consultation and a colonoscopy

    Wow, sorry to hear what you're going through. And what jerks, where I work I had my FMLA papers late and my LOA papers were WAY late (like a month or two lol) and they didn't care...

    I need some mom reassurances.

    I think the problem with a lot of doctors is that they are stuck on the notion that big = healthy. You can be a very small person and be healthy, too. My twins were born at 36.5 weeks (I only consider a baby "early" if its mother was induced or had a planned c-section with no labor prior), and...

    Hen hatching eggs question.

    Ah okay, so they are all red breasted, but look different because of male/female? I actually have two silver boys, one of them just hasn't gotten his bib and such yet, and the other one is finally getting his and he's over two months old. I know because I did vent sex them (took this noob a...

    I will never be nominated for Mother of the year Award thread

    ^ Hahahahaha! I cried the first (and so far the last) night my babies spent the night somewhere else. It was terrible. X3

    Hen hatching eggs question.

    I see. I have read that you can keep them in pairs or groups, and that if you keep them in groups, to have more females. Mine were not thriving as a pair. =/ Don't worry too much, I am a SAHM, and I spend a lot of time in my livingroom where the quails reside, so if there are any problems I...

    Hen hatching eggs question.

    Eventually I plan on having a 1:2 or 2:3 ratio of males to females, and I will be attempting to keep them as a group. If it fails, I have many extra tanks and bins laying around from when I used to breed hamsters until I can rehome some. I used to just have a male and a female, but the female...

    My family - cute baby pics! <3

    Thank you, everyone. <3 Yes, I did know I was having twins. My pregnancy was carefully monitored and I took good care of my body to avoid complications. We had had our hearts set on UC, but were nervous about it when we discovered the twins via ultrasound when I was almost four months...

    Hen hatching eggs question.

    So after obtaining 15 button quail total, so that I can choose the colors/genders I want to keep and rehome the rest (got some chicks from the fair and such), I go on vacation for a week. I come back from vacation (August 2nd), and my oldest female (just turned a year), Kiwi, has decided to...

    Apparently I'm selfish and not a good mother because I chose to have my babies in a safe environment with no doctors yanking on them and cutting us up. And it's also apparently dangerous to sleep with your children, so that makes me a bad mother too. Lol. Actually I think the worst thing...

    My family - cute baby pics! <3

    Just thought I'd introduce the humans of the house. Here are my eight month old twin girls. Jova is in the blue and Sunny is in the yellow. Sunny smiles...when she's not smiling she's making that "o" face. Lol. Jova on top of Sunny. Here's their daddy (Jason) and I (Jamie) with them...
