    2 week old chick neck is hard,red

    Wish I couldn’t post a video. But I noticed a quail chick moving it’s neck weird I picked it up and it has a hard (impacted?) red lump in its throat? Is this a feed issue? These are stills from a video.

    12 day olds. Normal for activity?

    I feel like the guys are settling down a little. But want to make sure. My thermometer says it’s 85-87(they keep knocking it around) .they were napping together (mostly) away from the bulb. So I turned it down a little. Now They’re kind of spread out napping. Are they getting their night/day...

    What are these clowns doing??

    No leakage after raising the waterer. Apparently I did the brooder thing all wrong for such a large hatch lol. I added a second brooder just the other day.i wish I could move them into their hutch. it’s still quite cold here in NC.

    What are these clowns doing??

    I had tried a plate under it to catch water and keep out shavings. That didn’t work. They managed to still soak bedding. I just turned a bowl upside down and placed the waterer on that. Wish me luck lol

    What are these clowns doing??

    They are emptying their waterer onto the bedding every 12 hours it seems. This didn’t happen when they were first born.

    Help,bought wrong(different) feed.

    I accidentally bought DuMor chick starter instead of Manna Pro chick/game bird starter. The GA and ingredients are similar. Is it okay if I don’t transition? Here’s the pics of the bags. (The one with a separate pic of the Ga and ingredients is Manna Pro)

    Where to purchase?

    She’s going to ask her neighbor. But they’ve had peafowl for a long time. So I assume she could get some fertile eggs from them

    Where to purchase?

    My aunt lived beside a family that kept peafowl for decades. She want to purchase some,but the only place I can find is cackle hatchery. They ship live chicks and I’m a little weary of that. I have only incubated quail chick eggs,but Is that something you can do with peafowl? Thanks!

    Valentines Day chicks

    I was are the pine pellets more economical than shavings (if they work for quail) ? Also,do these stools look normal?

    Valentines Day chicks

    Is there an easy way I’m not thinking of,to clean the pine bedding? I was trying to use a cat litter scooper (new) but that isn’t working. Should I just change out bedding entirely?

    Incessant chirping in brooder

    They have light on during the day,and dim light at night. Kind of related....but they are on pine chips. What the best way to clean? I was using a cat litter scoop,but it’s tedious with 35 chicks lol
