I just purchased 4 young chickens around the same age. 2-3 months. One of them looked cold and alway trembling and sleepy, all puffed up. so I put her in my bunky with a heater and electrolytes. It’s been a week and I see no improvement. I noticed she has stinky poop (diarrhea) stuck to her...

You believe Wood has more insulation properties... I was thinking to mimic the iglu chicken coop (see pic) using this bin idea to save money. Ppl are using this coop here in our climat, they say it has the best insulation properties. They claim chicken lay all winter and the eggs are never...

Yes I did the b12, vit d, and omega 3. I find the omega fish oil helped him the most. It's been 3 months, he will probably stay like this. It's ok. He didn't walk at all after the stroke. He has a female with him. She was by herself because she had been pecked badly by an aggressive male. They...

So glad he's ok! My quail had a heat stroke this summer. He will likely never walk normal again. He leans on the wall of the cage to walk. I make sure his food and water are by the wall. You are very lucky he looks like he will fully recover. He's a cutie too!

That's great. Mine just fell out of his sand box this afternoon. I noticed she hurt her leg so I brought her in and set her up in a small cage with a blancket at the bottom. I gave her food and water and left her laying down. I just checked on her now and she's dead...I don't understand. How can...

Just curious, did your quail recuperate from the injury? I have quail dragging his leg. He fell the wrong way coming out of the sand box.

Cool! So you're not worried the females aggressive trait will be passed down?

Ok, doesn't the male have to be with the females for a couple of weeks for the eggs to be fertile? I had heard the temperment could be passed down. Hmmm I'd like to test this theory...I wouldn't hatch 100 eggs from him just 5 or so. So you don't think he'll outgrow it? Thanks for your input,

I have 12 coturnix quails in groups of 4. So 3 females 1 male. One of my male is very aggressive. The females all run away from him. I tried adding one more female but He seams to favour 2 females and mates them until their necks bleed. I made a separation and have him by himself. He can see the...

Wow! He's a keeper!

This is Snookums. Do you need a male and female tuxedo to hatch out tuxedo chicks? Do you know? Some ppl say you need a brown male and white female? I'm curious .

Just curious, did you end up getting some Orpington and australorp bantams? Do they fly very high? They would be my first choice of bantams. I also worry they might be to flighty.

In Toronto we have 2 really cold months where the temp can dive down to -20 for a few days. I was told the air in the double plastic wall acted as some type of insulation. I also read that it is draft free and waterproof. I love that I could hose it down for cleaning. No rot, no Mold, I have to...

My quails are not skittish. Chickens are great but a bigger learning curve. When I'm reddy I will get a red star and a frevole chicken.

Not my idea but I'm thinking of repurposing a Rubbermaid horizontal shed into a coop for a couple of backyard chickens. And using a dog kennel for the chicken run. I'm thinking the plastic would keep them dry and probably keep them warmer in cold winters with the double wall plastic. Would...

I did quails. Hatched them with incubator and have been taking care of them since April. I've learned so much. Winter will be a true test. In a few years I will get chickens but for now it's quails.

I'm lea I think it was the heat. Maybe this one didn't drink as much as the others, it was record hot when the stroke and censures started. I think if it was the feed they would all be sick. I inspect my feed for Mold and moisture and I store it in the house to keep it as fresh as possible. I...

I have an injured quail that had a stoke and was in the same predicament, living by himself. He is in a cage and he leans on the walls to walk. He will never probably never walk normally again. I introduced a couple of ladies that had been pecked badly by an aggressive male. They bonded...

Just an update...my quail is ok, back in the cage for 2 weeks now. Turns out it's a boy, Rose is now Ross. He will likely never walk normally again but he seams happy and full of energy. He leans on the walls to walk so I make sure the food and water is by the walls. I even gave him a couple of...
