    Pecked Hen

    Hello. I started raising Jumbo Jap Coturnix quail 7 weeks ago. I got them when they were 4 weeks. I got 5 hens and 1 roo. I keep them in a 3x6 ground pen that I move each week. They are primarily pet/egg layers. 2 weeks ago I started getting eggs. 2 eggs average. All was going well until...

    Help. Roo or Hen

    He hangs out with the hens. Does go opposite direction when the big guy comes along.

    Help. Roo or Hen

    The one behind it, there is no question on him. He's the Ruler of the roost. They are the same age, that's why I question.

    Help. Roo or Hen

    Hey Group, I was told this is a Buckeye. It's about 8 months old. I'm thinking it's a Roo. I went out this morning, saw all the chicks out in the run except for it, and found it in the nesting box. I backed off, praying for an egg and I also had to go to work so I'll find out this...

    Hutch, Ground or Tractor?

    I want to start raising Quail this spring. I was wondering which way to raise them. I will be raising them for eggs. I started raising Chickens in July and to me they are pets. I know I would become attached to them also.

    Revamping my Flock

    I'm still Green to raising Chickens. I've learned so much from this forum. I started out in July with 2 Bar Rocks, 2 Delawares and 2 Buckeyes. Was projected to have eggs by Sept/Oct but no layers. Mid Oct the flock started to mature and found out that 5 of the 6 were Roos. We first got rid...
