    Incubator lost power for 5 hours. Whats the likely outcome

    Yes there is still hope. Though we didn't have the best hatch, we did have 75 healthy, happy little quail chicks.

    Incubator lost power for 5 hours. Whats the likely outcome

    It happened to me also last night 120 Jumbo Brown quail eggs set the night before. Temp got down to 86 in 3 hours power was off. Guess I'll keep them in and try. This is the first batch with this batch of breeders, so will not have anything to compare it to. I'll let everyone know the end...

    Relentless Hawk...Help!!

    It's terrible when a dumb bird is smarter then we are. Over the past week or so I have been loosing Quail in an enclosed pen. They are housed in a small flight pen completely enclosed, sides are a wood frame with poultry net, top is a full tarp. I was finding the birds decapitated but otherwise...

    Rat Snake killing my half grown hens

    That's one of the best proofs I've heard on any product to keep snakes away. Most people on here say the products don't work. so I've been reluctant to even try, but I might have to. Just went out to close up the girls, I got the eggs earlier, and Mr, (or Mrs. I can't tell the difference) snake...

    Rat Snake killing my half grown hens

    I've had chickens for years now, last year we had a big Rat Snake in the pen and was getting some eggs. He was allowed to stay until one night I went to check the girls and it was up on the perch wrapped around one of the birds. This year we've started raising Jumbo Brown Quail and we have...

    snakes

    Sorry, we talk funny down here. Hardwarecloth and rat wire are the same thing (at least to me). I know it's only nature, but it's hard when you go through so much to see it lost so quickly.

    snakes

    I just experienced a similar fate as southdakota, 64 of my three week old Jumbo Brown Quail were moved out of the brooder to their pen last night. This morning after mowing the grass I was checking all my birds and in the corner of the pen was a 4ft black snake with to quail size lumps...

    Quail food?

    I don't want to take over this thread but I have a similar question as Duckgirl. We hatched out 40+ Jumbo Browns and have been feeding Nutrena Game bird starter and the birds have been doing great. My problem now is that as our birds are starting to lay I need more of a breeder mix. I agree...

    broody hens and type of broody barn bird

    I'm glad you all enjoyed the pics. I eventually gave up trying to give them each some eggs and just let them sit on each other. The bantams hatched last week but sadly all the chicks died. I think the tom and little roo may have gotten them. They are pull out of the pen now so maybe the...

    broody hens and type of broody barn bird

    Here is an update on what I'm calling "The Broody House" It seems like every time I check there is someone else setting on the eggs. It started out with the turkey hen and one of the bantums taking turns setting on 8 D'uccle eggs. Then the Turkey started laying again, so I let her have those...

    Does anyone know what a show quality Mille Fleur looks like?

    How Long Are Your Spurs?

    Here is a none winning but intersting show topic. HOW LONG ARE YOUR SPURS? We have a 3 year old BO roo that has some LOOONG spurs! We call him Big Daddy, can you see why? So we thought it would be great to see if anyone else has a rooster that had longer ones. Why not put on some pics and...
