    Help! Elector psp alternative?????

    Hate to necro this thread, but you are soooooo wrong. Elector PSP is 44.2% spinosad per ml. I don't know where you equated % to grams, but it's wrong. So at a dilution of 8.9 ml Elector PSP per gallon, or 3785.41 ml, the math is 8.9 ml x 0.442 spinosad per ml / 3785.41 ml = 0.001% spinosad per ml

    Anyone else sexed roos this way?

    So I noticed that in my first batch of coturnix, A&M Whites, that the roosters would literally climb over the hens to try to get in the corner of the cage when they were 6-8 weeks old(they don't do it now). I found it amusing that they were willing to through the girls to the wolves in order to...

    Housing

    I've had 1 to 1 and 1 to 2 without issue. I have a cage of 2 roos to 5 females. I've found that a lot of quail knowledge on the internet boils down to a version of either "We've always done this without a problem so it has to be the best way", "I did this once and had nothing but problems", or...

    6 week old Serama

    I know it's a little early, but this little one is screaming rooster to me. Some background - they're the youngest, being last hatched. They also had an issue with pasty butt the first 2 weeks and I didn't think they were going to make it. So imagine my surprise when they've developed the...

    Is her back okay

    No mites that I've seen. No other birds, quail or chicken, has this. She's still isolated with the rooster she was with initially. His face has healed, but I've kept him with her for company. He has shown zero signs of this. The thing about the blisters is they don't seem to be fluid filled. If...

    Is her back okay

    I picked up this hen from a localish breeder back on August 29th. Even back then she had a bare back as shown below. I figured it was just overbreeding and will start to heal up. By the middle of September it looked like it was actually worse. I often saw it with blood on it. So I...

    Baby rat or baby mouse.

    He has definitely bonded with you. Keep handling him and he'll be your little buddy for the rest of his life!

    Baby rat or baby mouse.

    I can't speak for mice, but my experience with rats says to get more males instead. My personal experience has been that male rats are way more laid back than females. That's rats, though. I'd suggest reading up on mice like crazy as there is probably as much to know about them as there is...

    Baby rat or baby mouse.

    This is what a juvenile brown/roof/Norwegian roof rat looks like. He was actually pretty small for his age(this is from 2020). The snout is narrower and is typically the easiest way to tell.

    Baby rat or baby mouse.

    As a rat owner, I 100% agree. I've raised babies and gotten fairly young rats.

    Anyone in the Austin/San Antonio area have either Black Copper Maran, Serama, Sebright, or Jersey Giant fertile eggs for hatching?

    Isa brown suddenly stopped laying

    I'm new but I researched the heck out of Browns before getting mine and was going to suggest it was likely she just reached her limit. Most Brown hens are only kept around for a year to a year and a half by commercial egg producers.
