The white looks manchurian (pearl) fee. The pale ones at the end are egyptian fee (pharoah+roux+fee). The top ones look like pansy.

Is her leg sticking out to the side?

Autumn amber is roux and Italian. Manchurian is 2 copies of Italian, but Italian is incompletely dominant, so you get a variety of patterns falling under the terms italian and manchurian. Here’s my guess on the colors/patterns: 1. Normal Italian leaning towards manchurian. 2. I can’t tell if...

I’ve been out of the quail loop for a bit, but I believe Italian and pansy are 2 distinct, different genes, however, since Italian is incompletely dominant, it can bleed out over several generations, affecting the patterns of the various offspring. So if you crossed a pansy to a manchurian...

I saw a juvenile hawk dive bomb a white plastic bag stuck in the brush on the on the edge of the woods, young birds of prey try to catch anything that moves, regardless of color, so I don’t think being white is any safer than being rainbow, but I would stay away from any colors that could look...

It’s very common for certain birds to like chicks and certain ones not to. It seems more common that the adults will either attack the chicks, or will accidentally trample them, but some make wonderful parents, and I’ve had several birds that eagerly accepted chicks. The funny thing is, when my...

I’m fine with the antibiotics and prednisone to treat the secondary infections and symptoms that might be contributing, but it was like pulling teeth to get the parasite treatment, a treatment of the exact same stuff they try to force on me every visit they suddenly acted like they were doing me...

I don’t even know where to start. My state is not friendly to treating anything on your own. The original area mostly cleared up, and the hair was even regrowing. Last Wednesday or Thursday the area started getting red and angry again, around the outer edges, I was even dabbing it with the...

Mine turned lighter blue and foggy permanently, the other eye is more like ocean blue vs sky blue. If it isn’t swollen or have chunks of puss visible, you probably don’t need topical treatment any more.

I’m in your area, I’ll ask around, but no one comes to mind for sure. There’s a place called Belle Meade co-op in hillsborough I think, they have a list behind the register of chicks you can order from a local person, but they are not sold as store product, I think you get the number and call...

I dipped all 3 dogs. The other 2 still are fine, I’ll dip them again after 3 weeks from the first dip. I also wash all their beds on the steam sanitize setting every couple days, I don’t let the infected one mingle with or use the beds and crates of the others, and I sprayed all the crates and...

A super easy and cheap forage style toy is to get some hemp twine, and wooden beads (no paint or finish) I used to tie a big clump of strands of hemp twine together and attach it to the bars on the cage so that the “ponytail” cascades past a popular perch, knot some wooden beads into it at...

I can order it online from Amazon and receive it tomorrow. NJ tends to be one of the more restrictive states for pet meds without an rx, so if I can get it, most other states probably can.

I recognize a lot of those ingredients as being meds I’ve seen used to treat things like Coryza. Sulfates usually seem to treat the more resistant stuff.

It looks like there is an abraision of some sort on the eye, it looks like a white-ish smudge just outside the pupil. I’m guessing she was pecked, or she poked it on something, or she got some debris under her eyelid and it scratched it. One of my turkeys had a similar looking injury at a few...
