    Jumbo coturnix quail laid soft egg?

    Yes indeed, the conditions they were in were terrible but I only had enough to buy two of them. I usually avoid buying from breeders like that because I know buying them just encourages more overbreeding terrible conditions on the breeders part but these two were not doing well and I couldn't...

    Jumbo coturnix quail laid soft egg?

    Never seen this before, Raised plenty of quail but this is a first! Before I get into it I just want to let you know that my lovely chunky bald lady and her husband are rescues from an overcrowded and very unclean floorless coop and are currently in quail jail for quarantine before I let them...

    What breed gender is my chicken?

    She's a funny little bird, about 3 months old and was a HUGE chick! Really quiet and haven't seen any sickle or saddle feathers come in yet so I'm hoping she's a girl! She has a slight beard and greyish legs with smaller feet, looked kind of like a penguin when she was a chick! I bought her from...

    Ideal 236???

    They're extremely chatty! Much like there leghorn cousins but they have so much personality it's worth it, they're a little skittish though so free-ranging might be a pain if you have one that wants to run off

    Breed crossing?

    I am in fact planning on retiring him soon though because even with my four other roosters I can't seem to hatch anything but copies of him and I'm worried about the consequences of inbreeding

    Breed crossing?

I've even his daughters that I've crossed with my black Australorp rooster have nothing but carbon copies of him! There was one incident that I...

    Regina chicken spoiled?

    Thank you for all your responses! I will try the mash chick crumble and to try and find another chick to put with her! One last question, I've been having to give her a quail waterer because she likes to try and drown herself regularly, I'm talking dunking her head completely underwater and...

    Regina chicken spoiled?

    I have a 4 week old chick that I call Regina who was a got from the wild flock in my area after her mum and siblings drowned. She was really weak when I pulled her from the water so I felt bad and kind of spoiled her up until to the point (allowed to roam the house, heating pads everywhere...

    Can a bantam be kept with standards she was raised with?

    Update! So she ended up deciding she was a boss and it's now the top hen in flock, She's been crowing like a rooster and even fighting my barn cats! (I know for a fact she's a hen, I've seen her legs and also hatch chicks) 🤯

    Can a bantam be kept with standards she was raised with?

    My bantam flock was massacred in a different coop, coons ripped the wood panels off the wall and got in that way. On this one it looks like they dug in from my nabors yard? Absolutely massive so it wouldn't surprise me if they had pushed the stone square on the coop floor out of the way while...

    Can a bantam be kept with standards she was raised with?

    Earlier tonight 17 of my chickens were slaughtered by raccoons and I only have 3 left. Of those three I have a leghorn/RIR cross, a buff orpington, and my darling sea bright which I am so very thankful she survived! They're all hens and they've been kept together for the past 3 years but now...

    My chickens are EATING EACH OTHER????

    You think I can salvage a few of my laying hens that aren't being that aggressive because I do have two that hide in the nesting boxes while the others attack
