    Emergency - Stridor Help

    I kinda felt like a wirdo doing it but I did palpate all over her. No egg in the back end, crop had food in it but wasn't huge, it was mush-able/moveable, she gave no indication of discomfort when I felt her entire wind pipe & I didn't feel anything odd. She did 1 wee/tiny sneeze while she's...

    Emergency - Stridor Help

    It depends on the cause. I know with Asthma Attacks in humans, if no Inhaler is available, putting the patient in a hot shower helps relieve breathing difficulty. The humidifier is a great idea!! I will keep that in my back pocket in case research leads me down that path. Thank you so...

    Emergency - Stridor Help

    Hey everyone, We have a 5 month old Easter Egger that just laid her first egg today. She was fine all of today, we went to lock the girls up tonight & I could hear 1 with Stridor from across the field. It's Cinco De Clucko. She is the only 1 that is in any way acting different or...

    Underweight Flock - hurting egg production - Please help!!!

    Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm in a bit of a panic. My girls are painful skinny. How can I help them get to a healthy weight? It's hurting egg production & I have people coming out of the woodwork looking for eggs right now. 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the...

    Watery, Green poop

    When we hang cabbage for ours, there are a few super greedy chickens in the flock. Those ladies get neon green watery poop because they had too much. Did this girl pig out on any treats that you know of?

    Chicken drunk walks, barely eats/drinks - HELP

    We've seen her drinking when she's in her crate but not when she's out with the others. Not much, like she's not chugging water. If anything, it's like her eating. Seems like less than it should be. I am more than willing to try tube feeding her. Just tell me how. Yes, I did a serious once...

    Polish hen and lice

    We rescued a Polish Roo with a crossed beak & he had the worst lice infestation I'd ever seen. He had no idea how to dust bathe & even after we trimmed his beak, he just didn't understand grooming. We gave him a shower with ArtNaturals Essential Bath & Body Wash ($12 from Amazon). It has tea...

    Chicken drunk walks, barely eats/drinks - HELP

    We are completely at a loss & really need help to save our Splash. I'm sorry we don't have more information to give you, between family deaths, foster kittens, & a host of other crazy life things; we weren't able to give Splash our full time & attention until now. 1) What type of bird , age...

    why are some of my quail dying ?

    You are very kind!! I'm kicking myself for not remembering/thinking of more though! Which reminds me.... Did you change food recently? How old is their food? Have you inspected the food recently? (like, could there be mold growing in the bin at the bottom or out of sight?) When was the last...

    Do quail scratch and destroy backyards like chickens do?

    That's great news!!! It's a good thing you checked. We've been annoyed with some of the impressively stupid regulations there are for almost everything. Between federal, state, & county regulations, it's gotten absurd. The stories I could tell you....we should probably start a new thread for...

    why are some of my quail dying ?

    Can you post any pictures of your setup? You said it's covered, so that means wild birds aren't able to drop poop into their run/home? (just double checking/ruling stuff out). Are they down hill from anything? I'm asking about watershed. Like if a wild animal were to poop uphill, then it...

    Do quail scratch and destroy backyards like chickens do?

    ...people realize). Please let me know what you find out, that's one thing I didn't ask about. Hold on a second, I gotta climb onto my soap box. *grunts & struggles* Ok...now... You're on BYC to learn, so you clearly care & will do your best. Again, if you can afford it, have at it. What...

    Do quail scratch and destroy backyards like chickens do?

    Since you're in the Suburbs, cat & dogs are on the potential predator list. You've seen coyotes so they are on the list. I did a quick google search & according to OR's Environmental Services Agency, that should be the big ones for you. So you don't have to bear proof it. So that's good...

    Will Coturnix quails use nest boxes?

    No worries, there's always more to learn or relearn! & I personally feel like that's a fun/good thing. Hubs & I like to make make bets as to when they will stop laying & when they start back up. (For real, make a game of who has to clean the toilets for a month!! hehehe) Also, it's a legit...

    Please keep us in the loop/post an update on the painted hardware cloth in the future!! I'd love to know how that holds up compared to not painted.

    Do quail scratch and destroy backyards like chickens do?

    Here you can see where we were good about moving the tractor. The dead grass patches are either from the dust baths or the the coop, I'm not totally sure. Or, who knows, one of the dogs may have been "watering" the grass to help. The dogs think finding quail or chicken poop is the best thing...

    Do quail scratch and destroy backyards like chickens do?

    The skirt panels aren't done yet (Hubby had to work on the chicken coop & our current foster kid is keeping us pretty busy). He's working on corner ones & he's going to use hooks to attach them to the run. The rope is what we grab onto to move them. The one in front helps block/lock the door...

    What can quail not eat?

    Nonsense. Don't you ever watch Law & Order, SQU (Special Quail Unit)? It covers all the legal ins & outs of quail sexual assault/rape. :p I can tell you for a fact that stressed birds don't lay eggs. Having too many males creates a lot of stress on the females, complete with bald patches...
