    4-5 month old silkies

    Thank you for replying! I thought the feathers on the "roo's" head were streamers because they are very different than the other chick's poof and different than my adult silkie. Guess she gets to stick around a little longer!

    Polish, silkie and BLR wyandotte sexing help

    Hello! I'm dying to find out if my chicks are roosters or hens and would be so appreciative of any guesses. The polish and silkies are about 8 weeks and the wynadottes are about 4 weeks. I've looked through so many articles and posts about sexing chicks but I think it's harder when they are...

    7 week polish sexing

    You are so right! I've been comparing with so many other polish and mine doesn't have the sleek crest I see on a lot of hens, or the wild crest of a lot of roosters. This chick has the most curious personality of my 5 chicks but I haven't seen any rooster aggression or dominance yet. Here is a...

    7 week polish sexing

    Hi! I'm growing really attached to this super sweet polish chick but will have to rehome if it's a rooster. Is it still too early to tell? Thanks for any guesses.

    Hi Mary! The eggs they hatched from just said " "jumbo brown," but I think they are the pharoh coloring. Could be wrong!

    Staggered quail hatch question

    I hatched in an egg carton and it was pretty clean. I thought it would keep the chicks contained but they damaged 2 of the newer eggs. 🤷 Live and learn. The second batch just went into lockdown today so fingers crossed.

    Can I stop turning eggs for a few days?

    Hi! I have one batch of quail eggs going into lockdown today and another in the same incubator that are 7 days old. How harmful would it be to stop turning the younger batch once the older batch starts hatching? Would it be better to continue to turn them quickly? The staggered hatch wasn't my...

    Can I use a plastic storage bin with my heat lamp?

    Hi, I've been reading through this as I was planning to use a plastic bin when my quail hatch. I just wanted to make sure, a heat lamp is a special bulb that creates heat? It's not just heat created by the metal cone around the bulb? I was planning to use the metal around a regular light bulb...

    Staggered quail hatch question

    Hi everyone! I'm currently hatching cortinux quail eggs in a still air Little Giant (turning myself.) The eggs are 9 days apart due to super slow shipping from one supplier and poor planning on my part. I have 2 questions I hope someone with more experience than me can answer. 1) Can I put the...
