How she managed? Given being larger? Is she staying with quail chicks? I am just curious of other people experience. My third hen is now sitting on quail eggs. They just want to be broody all year this year
Hey. Both were great. They tended and cared for quails. Although by the day 9 they started pecking on them and given they are a lot smaller there were plucked weathers and some blood.
My observation was that quail chicks were too independent and too all over the place. Hens were getting...
Today my lavander pekin hatched another batch of quails. Still few left to unzip. Interesting enough. Lavander pekin incubated for 16 days. Serama incubated for 18 days. All eggs from same quails. And the space between incubation is 5 days. Wondering what could be the difference ? Hens size...

Hi guys, a bit of help please. I got 6 weeks old bantam hen. She was sneezing here and there a bit. Then yesterday she started being not very active sitting in one place trying to seems like cough or something. She still jumps and walks around but doesn’t eat or drink everytime she tries to eat...
Thank you for reply. Wished for hens as the crowing would be a problem if it’s too loud but he is such a character, have also 3 seramas on the way hopefully hennies 😬😊
