I have 13 egg layers. They are Amber Links, Eyes are Brown and a black Sexlink. They are 6months old and some have been laying for over a month. I started with one, then two eggs a day, then a couple of days got up to five. Now the weather is cooler and my production has dropped to two a day. I...
Hi, I have 6 americana chick that I hatched 2 weeks ago tomorrow. My question is: Some have told me that females grow tails first. 3 of mine has about a half inch talk and 3 doesn't have any. Does that mean I have 3 males and 3 females. When they were 1 day old I tried to sex them by there...
Yesterday I put 3 Dark Brahams and a small RIR rooster in my coop with 13 Golden Comets and 3 Dominiques. All hens, no roosters. They have almost killed the newbies in 24 hours. I can't build coops and runs for every chicken I want to add. This is about 3 times I have posted and nothing helps...
They have been laying 12 a day for about 5 weeks. When they first started laying like 4 weeks ago., we started getting like 2, then 4, 6,10 to 12. I'm sure it's the food change. That stuff was bad, they didn't want to eat it.

I have the same problem with my Butler Quail. I bought 77 day old babies Monday and on Wednesday 21 died and today 3 more died. They will be fine and healthy looking and five minutes later just drop dead. The are on paper towels in a plastic brooder.
I bought 77 1-2 day old Butler Quail Monday. This morning they are picking each others nose vent and some are bleeding from their beak. Why are these 5 day old birds doing this and what can be done about it?
