    Safe Guard Aquasol dose for BANTAMS

    Is head shaking related to anything else? I posted recently for help with a bantam silver-penciled Cochin who acts broody around 10–11 months old. She is very moody/grumpy and others pick on her. She is in and out of the nesting box, even out for extended periods, but when she sits in the box...

    Poor Egg Condition

    Following this thread for educational purposes and the hope of help. I have an approximately one year old bantam Phoenix hen that has had soft-shelled eggs lately. Now at day 12 for calcium+D3 and had another bad egg today (so far someone is eating the faulty eggs and I find the shells, or part...

    Comment by 'K C' in article 'Reasons To Grow A Chicken Garden'

    I have a tiny back yard, coop and run for a small bantam flock. I gave them a mini raised bed covered by 1/4-inch hardware cloth. I throw a few handfuls of mixed seeds into it every couple of weeks and keep it watered daily so they have sprouts and microgreens ongoing year round. They also get...

    Concerned about odd young hen behavior ...

    In September 2024 I got a bantam silver-penciled Cochin that was around 10–12 weeks old (along with three other young additions to the existing bantam flock). Once the girls started laying at the end of winter she was among them and laid well. When she was about 9–10 months old she became broody...

    Egg laid with no shell or membrane

    Update: After reading/researching lash eggs and the potential for salpingitis you mentioned, I think I was in error by describing lash eggs that I found twice in about two weeks. What I found doesn't seem to fit the description or photos for a lash egg, but does seem to simply be shell-less...

    Egg laid with no shell or membrane

    Please advise regarding a four-year-old bantam frizzled Cochin who laid a beautiful, large egg this morning that had NO membrane or shell. Her shells have been thinner recently (last six or so eggs). Also, I found two lash eggs in the coop early morning in the past 7–10 days (but don't know...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Overtaken by life, and death, and after posting at least a couple of times asking questions or hoping for help with zero responses/interaction, thought maybe this wasn't the right place for me.

    Finally out of broodiness, but still not laying after two months. Help!

    I have four bantam Cochins that are about 2-1/2 years old. Last summer two went broody for most of the season, but when the temps cooled, they came out of it fairly quickly and started laying again after two weeks. This year the same thing happened again, broody all summer, and the temps cooled...

    Quail crowing collar

    Hey Brandon, Thanks for your message. I only had six males to begin with, so now that two are gone due to noise issues and at least one more is becoming more noisy, and maybe actually two more, I'm really eliminating my ability to breed any birds, which is definitely a concern. It was...

    Quail crowing collar

    Thanks, Brandon, for your input. Adorable baby in your profile picture. So interesting. I hadn't considered it a genetic trait regarding crowing. Also interesting about covering the cage. That's definitely more of a possibility during late fall, winter and early spring, but it gets so hot here...

    Quail crowing collar

    Hi Kiki, Thanks so much for your timely response. Much appreciated. I wonder if the type of quail makes a difference? I got the jumbo Coturnix variety. I tried for nearly three years to find someone to build me a "community" cage to keep all the birds together with a higher ratio of females to...

    Quail crowing collar

    Hi, I'm new to quail myself now (just since mid-March 2022) and am wondering how your birds are after this amount of time? I had to eliminate two very noisy males a few weeks ago, and now another one seems to be getting more and more noisy too now that the other two are gone. My ratio has been...

    New to BYC, Fresno/Clovis, CA

    Thanks so much for the info. It's an older MacBook Pro. I don't see three dots at the top left (or right) of the page. Might be the difference in browsers as well? I hope I figure it out before I frustrate other users! lol

    Thanks for your reply. I'm trying to figure out how this site works and could use some pointers from anyone with the time and inclination. I'd like to ask quail questions, but can't figure out how to get to the right section to post something, or how to post it to the people who know about...
