    Hoping for a hen

    Thank goodness... she has some redness around her face that was making me so nervous. My son would be heartbroken as Poof is basically his chicken.

    Hoping for a hen

    So my oldest chicks are just turning 8 weeks old this week and I have a few that ai'm starting to worry about. They were supposed to be pullets but we know how that can go. I have a home lined up if I have roos but this one is my son's fav and my friendliest chick so I'm hoping it's a hen. I'd...

    Questions about wyandottes

    I have two week old wyandottes that I have with my 8 other chicks, they were labeled as pullets but now I'm worried one is a roo. I know it may be too early to tell for 100% certain. But I'm conflicted. I vent checked and didn't see evidence of it being a roo but the feathers are so far behind...

    What's Wrong with this Quail Egg?

    Not every odd egg is a virus issue. I had a few soft eggs like this when my jumbos just started laying, if it continues consult a vet but don't jump to "EVERY BIRD HAS TO DIE" please.

    Anyone know what type of Quail these are??!

    My best guess is a wild type and a rosetta or some similar red gene on the bottom. Quail grow VERY fast so even 1 day makes a size difference

    Do you have experience with NR360? I have some questions

    You could wrap a thick towel or small blanket around the incubator to help it hold it's heat better too. I have a borotto which hasn't seen many fluctuations but the motor is on the outside so that's probbably why.

    the first and last pic look like tuxedos, the second looks like a wild, and third... maybe Egyptian? I'm new to this too so those are just my guesses.

    Thunderstorms?

    They do have shelter, they have half the pen blocked from all weather and they are under a second story deck to further protect them. The storm was very intense. Even my dogs were on edge and they are usually chill during storms.

    Thunderstorms?

    So last night we had a terrible thunderstorm, it was intense even though it was fairly short. About 15-20 min of lightning flying. I refilled the water shortly before the storm and everyone was doing good, starting to settle in for the night. This morning I went out and one of my biggest hens...

    Delayed Coturnix hatching?

    I incubate my quail at 95.5 and raise it to 100 and 65-70% humidity on day 15. Usually have most if not all hatched by day 17.

    Second incubation went so well!

    So I ordered 25 gold mix chicks from MyShire and was hoping for 12-14 chicks since mailed eggs can be iffy. I ended up with 21 babies, not a single loss yet from them and they are now a week old. I'm so excited. I got these because they are said to be great layers. Now I'll have my jumbos for...

    Quail feeder

    I cut some 1.5 inch holes in a tupperware and put the food in that. Works great for me.
