A Bit of Jealousy?
Come on, Squishy! It's ok, we all lock up some teenagers every once in a while... What, only me ? (I'm only kidding, ) I think once Cat hits that adult age she'll calm down. She's probably still a bit unsure about me, I mean, I didn't even hatch her. But once she knows that I just want to pet...- NeoRoey

A Bit of Jealousy?
So, this began a few days before, but it's only become blatantly obvious today. I have two chickens in my backyard, one is very young but also shy and insecure around others. The other is almost a year old and will practically jump into my hands when I enter the chicken cage/coop. Recently...- NeoRoey

That is One Messed Up Leg
She seems fine. In fact, she was sitting above the ledge that we put in the upper part of the cage the other day. Anyways, I never had a fourth? Only 3. -
That is One Messed Up Leg
I just don't think it's a good idea to amputate the leg. -
That is One Messed Up Leg
I'm not really sure. The bird's only a couple months old. The other one that hatched had a big, bulgy neck. It died very soon and also had a bad leg. -
That is One Messed Up Leg
I'd rather something than nothing and a loss of money. Is she in pain? -
That is One Messed Up Leg
Are you sure I couldn't just keep it or something? No breeding purposes. I just really like this one. Also, is she in pain? -
That is One Messed Up Leg
I don't know how this happened. We're taking her to the vet. Can someone please help? Just, with anything. How to fix it, if it can be fixed, how this happened. Thanks in advance. -Neoroey -
Interesting notes about our peas...
Quote: *giggles* Erm, anyways, I have also noticed this with my peacock. Whenever we get near the chick, he/she would put up a threat stance and peck at us. Although, he/she will let us pet him/her instead. -
Ordered more quail
*cough* o_O I can barely take care of 3. Well, I can take care of 2 but the other one is five times as bad. -
Chick not thriving - chick chair
I may sound sick, but I kind of like chicks which require special care. It makes me feel like they need me . Anyways, that's a crazy setup you got there! I would have never thought of it.- NeoRoey

I had to sleep with peafowl eggs on my belly. Will they hatch?
Quote: No pair or peafowl is BS. Any peafowl is a good one . Anyways, I don't know too much about identifying color, but that looks like a pied to me. Congrats, too! We went through 3 batches of eggs until we finally got two on our 4th batch...and one died (we had to help it out of the egg... -
Ignorant about Quail, Why do people have them, hunting?
I'd just like to add my story, if that's ok. Personally, I think that a bird smaller than the size of a chicken should not be killed for food. As of today, we still have the original three button quails. They lay eggs which we just collect and eat now. They have amazing color, and the eggs are... -
Cinnamon Button Hens?
quailladyoffortmyers, your second picture shows what my Chickapee started doing. Anyways, this is the best I could find for now.- -
How Do I Get My Quail to Go Broody?
He wasn't alone at the time and was still just as bad. I only removed him because he was hurting Chickapee, but the symptoms didn't get better or worse. I would just want to know if the peachick would help the egg. I guess that question is answered now. -
anyone keep button quail
I think chinese painted are actual button quails. -
Button Quail - Advice needed!
I can't help you a lot with all your questions, but let me just tell you that I use an average bird cage from my Petco. The cheapest ones are around $25-$30. Quail eggs run at around a dollar each for a fertile one. 10 gallon aquarium should be enough, though. I give them gameird mash/feed... -
How Do I Get My Quail to Go Broody?
Nekhebet, for the last time, they do not live together. Way before Chickapee started laying, I had moved Tic to his own cage. Tac started mating with Chickapee, but then he became aggressive. He started violently pecking Chickapee, would attack any hand near him, and made some strange noises... -
How Do I Get My Quail to Go Broody?
Quote: I had actually moved them a long time ago and kept the original mate with Chickapee. He shouldn't have acted up. -
How Do I Get My Quail to Go Broody?
Recently, I have tried to keep an egg that my button quails laid in the cage rather than eating it. I have heard that button quails rarely lay on their eggs, not sure if the odds are even lower in captivity. Is there any way to encourage/get to have my button quail go broody or is it just pure...
