    Alternatives for game bird starter?

    Today I just hatched some baby quail out and I had pretty much everything ready, a warm brooding box, a waterer with a custom basin, but the only thing that I didn’t have was a game bird specific feed. I have regular chicken starter and some mealworms and I was thinking that I could just crush...

    Are there any "quiet" rooster chicken breeds?

    Hello everyone and happy holidays! I understand that no matter what the breed is a rooster will always be a rooster, It will crow from dusk till dawn. But what I really want to know is if there are any breeds that have roosters that have significantly quieter crows than your standard rooster...

    Is my egg dead?

    I cracked it open and there was an eye and the beginning of what was supposed to be the rest of the body. I forgot to take pictures because I was feeling bad about having to break it open.

    I really don't want to crack it open and get rid of it until I know for sure that it's dead :/

    Is my egg dead?

    14 days ago I put 2 eggs in my still air incubator at 99.5 degrees (it was 99.5 and the humidity was around 53-56% at all times) and while one egg was infertile the other one was progressing fine. However since day 12 I haven't seen anything that could be called significant development as all i...

    Oh your right! I guess I shouldve just asked when she would start laying. But 1 or 2 months does seem likely :)

    How long until maturity?

    (Im not sure if this is the right thread to post this in but it seems close enough to this topic) Hey everybody, this is my pet sizzle chicken soy (we call her this because she was given to us in a soy sauce packet box) we've had her for 22 weeks or since April 25th and she's been very sweet to...

    When will she start laying?

    On April 25th my pet chicken, which breed is a sizzle of what I assume to be a frizzle cochin silkie mix, hatched. Shes grown up nicely, her comb and wattles are mostly red and she has slightly light blue earlobes. Her skin color isn't dark like a normal silkies but it's instead white. But back...

    Is this coccidiosis?

    I think that I'll start putting her on corid for the meanwhile and hope that I don't see another poop like that, but would you happen to have any idea what her premature egg song was?

    Is this coccidiosis?

    This morning when I was in my kitchen I heard my 19 week old sizzle chicken hen sing something very similar to what sounds very similar to a egg song, I've searched online and on other forums if this was possible and they said that yeah they're young girls do sing but only to imitate the older...

    Concussion?

    Hi, all I'm sort of in an emergency my baby coturnix quail which is a week and a half old got pecked hard by one of my chicken bantam roosters. He bled a lot and we put him in an incubator so that he could rest and stay warm. There's no blood or liquid coming out of his ears which is a good sign...

    How do i get them to like me?

    Oh gosh, I feel like an idiot, I should have mentioned that they're coturnix quail, but on the other hand I do have two month old silkie chicks, they spend most of the day outside in my garden and at night they sleep in a box of the same size. I assume that everything applies to them too right...

    How do i get them to like me?

    A week ago I hatched these guys in an incubator, they used to hide under my hand and run all over it when I put my hand in the brooder, then one morning when I woke up to check on them they were terrified and kept running away from my hand. I feed them, give them pieces of fruit, water them, and...

    Is my leghorn ok

    In the morning I'll give her the miconazole, then give her a probiotic electrolyte water mix and give her her normal feed but turned into a soft mash, then I'll leave her alone until night when I give her the medication again and take her water/food when she falls asleep right?

    Is my leghorn ok

    It isn't completely empty in the morning and to find out if food really is passing through her crop or not every other day I take her water and food away while she's sleeping to find out how much she's been progressing. However last night was a different case, I saw her drinking all day but not...
