What Sex Are My Chuckar?
I have about 15 of these demon spawn (aka Chuckar Partridge) and I would like to know how to sex them so I can plan a dinner in their honor. These little imps have been terrorizing me for 6 months now and I am pretty sure they are plotting my untimely demise, and I think I heard them trying to...- LavLady

Cat Attacked Quail
You have done everything I would have done, inspect, clean, treat. I think the person closest to an animal is the best person to say when an animal is beyond saving. Many people would not go to the lengths you did for your quail so far. Even if she dies she is lucky to have been treated with... -
Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore
Welcome to the wonderful world of Quail! :) You should be just fine at 3 weeks with warm weather and draft protection. But something else you said concerns me: you have chickens. Are you exercising strict bio-security? I rarely loose more than one in 50 after the first 3 days. If you... -

Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore
I have been procrastinating culling but today I got a wake up call that I waited too long, the males are fighting. I'm processing tonight. I think I will brine, bacon wrap and glaze them as well, thank's for the idea! -
Hunting and the argument against it.
I harvested my first deer this past year and when I told my mother she all but disowned me. "How could you do it? You're not going hungry!" I tried to defend my position but it caused an even bigger rift so sadly we have also learned to not discuss it, which makes me sad. That deer provided...- LavLady

Baby chicken with bad leg
Looks like spraddle leg. I will edit to include a link to a thread about how to fix this if I can find it, but the technique is pretty simple. Edited to add: http://www.poultryhelp.com/spraddle.html Get the legs stationary and use a band-aid to tape the legs near each other (not too...- LavLady

Crumbles
I feed crumbles, but I soak mine thoroughly with water and they waste a lot less. I also read (here in BYC somewhere) that they absorb the nutrients better from wet feed than from dry. (Even better if the feed is fermented but I just can't bring myself to start that project!) Try soaking your... -
I have a question for anyone who ties flies (for fishing)
Thanks Dragons4u! I do have a warden I know who helped us out once before, maybe I'll call him if I see something again. Ok, so I have tons of feathers from my peafowl and golden pheasants. I have no idea what to do with all these feathers but I meticulously pick each one out of the pens... -
What color/variety would you say this chick is?
My guess would be Tibetan, but I don't know, the darkest colored chicks I have hatched are just the standard browns, and they look like a dark chipmunk color. Your's is obviously much darker. I think it will be beautiful when it gets bigger. Are you certain though that it is a Coturnix and not... -
I have a question for anyone who ties flies (for fishing)
Do you guys think I would get in trouble if I picked up a road killed beaver and preserved the hide? I saw one last year and almost went back for it to bleach the skull for a novelty item, but SO said not to it might be illegal to possess without a tag... I am not interested in trapping beaver... -
Coturnix problems
I had hens almost kill a roo, so I planned to kill them. Then they got smart (like a fox!) And one laid a pure white egg. I decided I wanted to hatch that egg so I put them in a pen where they can see the male, and one at a time switched them from their side to his. Seems to be working. I... -
I have a question for anyone who ties flies (for fishing)
I skinned the rooster, then stretched the skin feather side down on a piece of plywood, using nails. Then I pulled the stretched hide up off the plywood to the head of the nail so that there would be airflow to the feathers. I dumped a ton of salt on the fleshy side of the skin and let it dry... -
