    Giving babies to adult quail

    She seems to be doing OK with them still :) She is only just over 3 months old, so I'd say she's doing good for her age then! She's not pecking them at all.

    Giving babies to adult quail

    I have an injured bullied quail that has been alone for a while as it heals. I was told by someone else on another platform that I could see if she will take babies to raise as her raising them might help their behaviour. How do I know if she's accepted them? She's not being mean to them, she...

    Help with a chick not thriving

    It's all good :) I am not sure what they would have been using that would cause that. The one I have is one that a person would use. It's soft like a fleece on the outside. I just wrap a puppy pad around it and fold it over a bit so they can cozy up under it. I've used it many times and never...

    Help with a chick not thriving

    Not what I said. I just didn't want it to be alone in the big brooder. I've set up a smaller box with a heating pad for it for now. I've raised chicks and quail previously, just never dealt with a lone one.

    Help with a chick not thriving

    I've been giving it as much attention as possible. I have it out with ne constantly and I'll hold it in my hand while trying to encourage eating a drinking. It seems to struggle swallowing as it gasps and shakes it's head a lot when attempting to eat or drink. I'm guessing it is not going to...

    Help with a chick not thriving

    I have been just putting in back in the incubator as I didn't want it alone in the bigger brooder. I will try setting up something smaller for it, with some fake friends.

    Help with a chick not thriving

    I had a couple of quail hatch out Monday morning. Unfortunately my cat heard them before I did and proceeded to knock down the incubator and killed the other chick and one chick was dis. The one remaining seems spunky and is moving around and doing freshly hatched quail things, but I am worried...

    Hatching buttons

    The first one grabs on to the little ones feathers and yanks at them pretty hard. There are 4 of them now so they take turns picking on each other. There are 3 eggs with no signs of hatching how long would you leave them to see if they'll hatch?

    Hatching buttons

    Is it normal that they very aggressively peck at the others? I helped one hatch out that was stuck, one passed (it seems that itbwas upside down and somehow bled out. The opposite side to where it had pipped was full of blood.), and I helped another one that I probably didn't need to help and...

    Hatching buttons

    Oh man sorry to hear that! It's sucks when they still die even when you're doing everything to make sure they don't. Thank you!

    Hatching buttons

    This is my first time hatching buttons and I think it's going ok but wanted to check with the experts. I did a dry hatch. 35%-40% humidity until I saw the first pips and increased it to, 60%-65% . Temp has been 99.5-100.5 Today is day 16 I noticed the first pip yesterday morning. And a few...

    Lemon pyle brahma

    Ahh! Thank you! I was worried because I read that they are slow to develop so was worried that any change was destined to be a roo.

    I am guessing this is a cockeral... I wish it wasn't as it was the only one that hatched but it is what it is I guess. 7 weeks old

    Day 22 broody hen

    I ended up candling them and saw no movement so I eggtopsyed them. 1 wasn't fertile, 1 was really close but hadn't internally piped and just needed to absorb the yolk, there was one that hadn't developed very far, and the other ones stopped developing around 14 days or so. So we had 3 eggs of 9...
