yeah ive seen my two males mount each other, they even crouch down and make a noise to call the other over (different from the "i have food" noise) i can definitely see them forming their own lil relationships and cliques when they have enough space to do their own thing, which i definitely...

is it possible to seperate specific pairs and have them rejoin a bigger group later? or would that be too stressful. because as far as i can tell they can do well in bigger groups with enough space

The insane part about the fox project is that they were working with the foxes in quite questionable conditions, especially the fact that the experiment wasn't initially for making pet foxes, they also bred another line of foxes to be more fearful and aggressive. I'm not a fan of the Russian...

Well that's what I want to put to the test. I had a button quail hen that would come up and snag treats out of my hand and almost never take flight from being spooked, compared to my 2 I still have after she passed, theres a definitive variation in temperament which could very well be encouraged...

I've been looking into raising/breeding quail myself for agessss and me and my mom have 100% decided it'd be really fun and possibly even useful to do. We were thinking about having an outdoor aviary for Japanese quail for months now, but my mom is gonna have heart surgery soon and will be in...

Hey, so, really weird question. I've randomly had the silly idea of putting edible glitter meant for drinks and pastries in the dust bath of my poultry, really just because I think it'd be kind of funny. So the past weeks I've been playing with the idea, looking things up and checking...

oh ive been keeping my two in my living room since 2020! i dont have much issue with it, Having kept a big group of guinea pigs in that cage that would regularly send bedding flying out i am very used to cleaning up regularly. Might hang up curtains around the cage for the night since our...

oh WOW, in that case i will probably just euthanize whoever ends up being left since rehoming roos is a nightmare here (theres like 40 ads for button roos looking for a new home in my area) and last time my older roo was alone he was just calling all night and day.

I have currently 2 button quail roos, healthy and active. But I want to get cortournix quails for production purposes as well! I have a 2mx80cm enclosure in my living room with two layers. The buttons and my last living guinea pig (she's very old and were making sure to interact with her as much...

I never heard of that, i just got absolutely fascinated by the tiny eggs in the grocery store and BEGGED my mom to buy them as a kid. I like the taste of them a little better than chicken eggs but thats personal preference.

My quail hen Elisiv passed away a few days ago. With my second "hen" (definitely intersex, looks identical to a mature hen, bonded with my roo, but no eggs and crows) starting to mount her in addition to the roo she was being chased around a lot and apparently got some sort of blockage in her...

i just ground up chicken egg shells and added it to the feed for the past weeks, and when she started laying again after winter the eggs were perfect! i could even blow two out without trouble.

well my hen started eating her own eggs, presumably because they broke when shed step on them but yeah the shells are insanely thin, like crack when they hit the ground when the hen lays it thin 😬

eurgh, seriously dont know why people refer to severe deformities of the skull as "cute" but alright.

heyo! So im a fan of the silkie feather structure but absolutely despise the fact that they have vaulted skulls, as i would highly prefer to not have a exposed brain on a chicken from a bit of pecking. is it possible at all to breed a silkie chicken without the crest in only a few generations...
