    When to candle/float test quail eggs? Also when is lockdown for coturnix eggs?

    Found Roundworm in faeces?

    My 1 year old chicken (free range). Honey has been sitting on the nest for over 4 days. Broody I suspect. But when I let her have a bit of time off from the nest, she pooped and her poo had worms in it (roundworms) about 3-4 of them. Her crest is quite pale and she seems to be eating and...

    How are they going? Any progress? I have some photos, the yellow one, her/his feathers are coming out really fast, definitely going to be a full white one. They are on the wood shavings now and they have learnt to scratch for their food, it's so cute to watch.
