It's been a bit longer than two weeks, but the little one is definitely a boy. The comb is a lot bigger and more red and he's started to do some practice crowing while standing on their waterer. This picture was taken today, they'll be 7 weeks old tomorrow.

Okay, will do! Thank you!

I hatched 3 of my own bantam chicks about 5 weeks ago and for two of them, I'm pretty certain they're girls, but I'm a bit concerned that the last one is a boy. I'm guessing it's a sebright-silver OEGB mix, both of the parents I got from tractor supply's chick days. Dad was the sebright and mom...

Wry neck huh? I haven't heard of that, and I'll do some research. But yeah, she is definitely eating and drinking well and if very active. I suppose once I hatch some more babies, she can go into her own little pen with other females.

So I hatched a few quail a month or so ago, and one of them just seemed... off ever since she hatched. She holds her head low to the ground all the time and tilts it to the side when she runs, she takes very careful and slow steps when she walks, and is a bit more aggressive than her hatchmates...

One of my friendlier quail hens, Cinnamon. She is a fawn coturnix, and she's about a year old ❤

Oh that's a very real possibility. She is, from what I've seen, bottom of the pecking order.

Fluffed up feathers, lethargic, drooped tail, and had her neck tucked in. Just looked like she wasn't feeling well.

Has anyone else ever seen a chicken acting sick in the coop, but as soon as you bring her in, she seems fine? I had a 7 week old bantam baby acting super lethargic and poofy when I was sitting in their coop with the rest of her little flock of 6 bantams. The other chicks were acting normal...

Hmm, maybe a small petting zoo? About 25 animals in total, including fish. It can get pretty crazy at home.

We had to rehome the first flock because we thought we were going to have to sell our house, so we couldn't keep them on our property, and we had to take down the hand-made chicken coop to raise the property value. Luckily, we did not have to sell the house, and also luckily, the person they...

Hey there, i was wondering about your japanese quail. Are those the same as coturnix? And would you sell 1-2 dozen to the eastern part of the US? Thanks for any info.

I hear you're curious about my animals? I'd be happy to list them for you, if you'd like.

I guess I'll start off by saying hi, my preferred name is roxas. And now I'll answer those questions. Here goes: 1: I am not new to chickens. I have raised 2 flocks with my family, and it has always been me doing the begging for more. The first flock, consisted of a varying mix, like white...
