    Roscoe & Rosie fun updates pending. Close friend of the host had a heart attack so adventures have not been happening while things were being taken care of. Look for more fun from the duckie crew later this week

    *Sigh* Still No Eggs--Coturnix

    Do they need more protein ? I thought you had to keep them on gamebird type feed with the higher protein levels for good egg production . Just a thought from a novice

    My first home bred hatch

    Quote: Take over the world Seriously though Genetics intrest me a lot so I'm going to play around with colors and see what we can do with them ( I know they are quite the genetic color mix but they reproduce quickly & easily. So a few generations down the road I may have some color traits...

    My first home bred hatch

    I've got home bred baby buttons !!!!! It's so cool. Several members said to not incubate the first weeks worth of eggs laid. They were right I had 20 eggs the first week and 20 the second. I couldn't resist and popped all 40 in the bator together. They were all clearly dated. First week...

    One missing.... :(

    Sending you and posative vibes that she's safe and you'll find her in the morning. Just to help you be a little less worried I went out to lock my pullets up last week and 3 of the 4 were missing. Number 4 was hunkered down under the coop terrified. My heart sank. No blood, feathers or...

    Boys, boys, boys.........

    Maybe I need to have the water tested. I posted a few days ago about my coturnix being predominately roos. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=232588 Well just now I decided to seperate out my next batch of teen buttons. Had 7 out of 8 hatch and guess what ? ...
