Yep, all cream legbars have a crest from their aracuana heritage

Need to transport a flock of about 20 chickens and a few ducks, it's about a 5hr drive with same again on a boat. What is the best and cheapest way to ship them? I've looked at plastic 'poultry cages' which seem a good option tho still unsure on how much space they will need. Cloths on top to...

Thanks guys. I left it alone and it did fall off. She seems pretty unconcerned about it and is running around with the others, lol. Quail are hardy little things.

I found one of my quails with a ball of dirt stuck to her toes. I took her inside and teased the ball off with warm water, but her toe is quite injured to the point I don't know if it has circulation anymore. It's as if she was biting it herself to get it off.

I need to upload the photos of mine. Tentatively out of 8 chicks I think I have 6 pullets (maybe some slow developer will surprise me though) so it's a good result this year. Bato weaned her chicks after about 4 weeks and just went back to the main coop and now ignores them, while Kali is still...

they got their colour from the mother.

sounds like it would be a poop-filled nightmare in a week and the ducks might try to eat the plastic. plain dirt or a thick layer of chopped straw would work better imo.

I think I was refreshing too quickly, it seems fine now
