    Plain View Farm is located in Central Virginia. Our farm was named for its obvious "Plain View". Centered within hundreds of acres of pasture and hay fields it is a quiet secluded setting. (Well except for the birds noise and the occasional Beagle Baying) All of our birds are hand raised...

    baby coturnix hatched without absorbing all of the yolk sack....

    The best you can do is allow it to rest. Many times they will still absorb the Yolk Sack after coming out of the egg. Good luck with it, David

    Has anyone had this happen?

    I agree... What I do is take an index card and cut a little piece out of it the shape of the foot including the three toes. Then take thin strips of adhesive tape (1/4" wide) Set the foot on the "boot" and tape the toes to it. Generally within about 3 days the toes will straighten and be...

    Can French Guineas reproduce naturally?

    When is it OK to remove heat source?

    If they are indoors they should be fine... Outdoors and the temp went below 60 I'd consider additional heat that they could get far enough away from it if they didn't want it. David
