I bought eggs off etsy and the listing was for "rare blue fawn and other mixed variety breeds". I was wondering if anyone can assist with breed identification.
If it helps, my observations are that I have:
1 yellow with ginger stripes chick
2 yellow with silver stripes chicks
1 yellow with...
He/she definitely reacts with some sort of excitement when I go to visit and likes being held. I do want it to live with the others, but being in NY, the weather will turn by the time it's old enough. I just don't want it to have trouble cohabiting with others. It makes me feel special when...
I figured. And right now it's too big for the little hatchlings and too young to go outside with my other 9 month old quail. Outside I have Jumbo coturnix, the hatchlings are supposedly blue fawn coturnix and I believe my 4 week old is a jumbo pearl from the mix of eggs I bought. But I have the...
Hi,
I have a ~4 week old quail that I've raised from an egg and was the only survivor of its clutch, being raised inside my home. When it's old enough it will go outside, but in the meantime lives inside a bunny hutch in my spare room.
I was wondering, how likely is it that quail have the...
I just cleaned the eyes with saline solution. And gently wiped the eyes with the wet q-tip, I don't know if it was pus or food dust, but I came away with something on the cotton. I had noticed a build up of the orangey-yellow color of feed on its face a few days ago but i figured all chicks are...
Now that you say that, I'm wondering if it's from the feed? I've been crushing up it's food with a mortar and pestle bc the crumble was too big. I'll do a saline rinse today, thank you 😊
Thank you. I have another batch started in my incubator and second time around, I know more of what not to do so I'm hoping I can give him some peers and or, have more to come if he doesn't make it. But we really hope he can keep on keeping on.
I just tried a q-tip soaked in warm water and...
Hi, I have a 8 day old Italian coturnix chick (only survivor of the clutch) and it has been scratching at its face for a few days now. I thought maybe it was due to remaining membrane material that hadn't fallen off or something of those sorts. There isn't anything that is sharp in the brooder...
Oh thank you, I didn't realize I was using the wrong feed. I'll puck up some today at TSC. I appreciate that!
I only have the one remaining chick, both of the two with deformed feet passed. So I'm trying to keep this one as happy and socialized as possible. I put mini stuffed animals in the...
I read on another thread that poly vi sol is helpful for strengthening feet and legs? Should I get any kind of supplement? I have Pro Manna starter feed for them, medicated.
I had a family member check on them while I'm at work and I was told the two are wriggling and responding to water...
Hi,
I just had a clutch of 15 eggs in my incubator, and unfortunately only 3 have survived thus far. They are a mix of pansy fee, jumbo pearl, pansy and Italian coturnix.
One is zipping around the brooder and is very vocal. The other two have issues with their feet--curled toes. So, we...
