Hey guys!! I was just wondering how common it is to end up with runts from your quail. Of the 12 I hatched I ended up with 4. Sadly one did not make it though due to a cat (the pen was improved shortly after)
From the chicks I recently hatched, my little golden one isn't doing quite so good and I figured I'd see if anyone here happened to know anything.
I've been giving him poultry based medicine meant to perk him up. I can get the medicine name once I'm back home, but he's gotten about a...
Finally got a very rushed photo shoot in, if you could even call it that. I grouped the twelve of them by patterning and color so if anyone has an idea about what they might grow up to look like I'd be very interested
Although I can't join in for he hatch along, I just had a 100% success hatch rate for my first ever batch of quail! This is all 12 of them and I'll send more pictures once I get a good photo shoot in
I'm running a Brinsea Mini Advance and my area is under a tornado watch and a major storm is planned to come through in about an hour and a half. There's already 50mph winds and the power has flickered a bit.
I want to be prepared in case the power goes out for my incubator. I know you aren't...
Woodie is back to being unable to stand. Because it's the second time this has happened in such a sort period, my mother is starting to suggest putting her down
Thank you so much for your help! Woodie still walks with a bit of disorientation but she gets around great and the rest of the flocks was very sweet with her, including my rooster
She did wonderful outside today, and I was going to put her back on her own for the night but she managed to surprise me by climbing onto the roost on her own and she was very happy to be back outside.
Woodie can stand up today and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put her back with her flock. Since it's Saturday, I would be able to watch over her
She's eating normally and we've been forcing water into her when we can. No one is home for most of the day so I'm not sure if she's been drinking on her own. The only fresh droppings I've seen from her have been a bit runny
We don't have a vet that sees chickens out where we live. I give them all mixed-flock crumbles and scratch (even though they don't need the scratch since they go out). I've never heard of a fecal float though
Woodie, my Spangled Orlaff, could not stand when we went outside earlier to clear their water off since the water has been frozen. She was sitting under the ramp to the coop and when we went to get her she fell over head-first.
None of the other chickens are acting this way, and I have a total...
