    Lethargic, pale comb, mass

    Shes been pale and lethargic for a while now, We brought her inside to deworm her but it didn't seem like that was it. Then I noticed an egg sized lump that wasn't hard and it wasn't liquid. We gave her a bath in case she was egg bound but afterwards it felt fleshy. We took some pics, I dunno if...

    Olive Eggers - Maran/Easter Egger crosses - boy or girl

    Hi I was wondering what you guys think about these three birds. Their mothers have different degrees of pea comb. One looks amaraucanaish with a tuft and more comb while the other one is missing those features. The father is a colorful FBCM.

    Anyone have their covey go violent?

    I sold 9 quail to someone, thought there were only 2 males but there turned out to be 4 (young A&Ms) but in any case they had spent a month or more together. Once the customer brought them home they actually got more space and were split into 2 groups. I started getting emails about bloody...

    Best layer has foot problems and bare skin with a sore.

    Man, my best layer, who is also a mean little bird, seems to be having issues. I knew she had a bare patch on her belly but figured it might be ok but now I see a white sore on it. Actually its more like a zit, its not wet flesh but definitely doesn't look good. And her foot looks bad now too...

    Swapped a male into a group of 8 and got its eyes pecked out

    Hi, I swapped out a smaller male who had been in a rabbit hutch with 7 other quail with a larger young one that had reached full size and was crowing. I noticed the large female in the cage was chittering at it and chasing it around some but after switching some bedding everything seemed to calm...

    Male duck - muscovy rouen hybrid

    Hi, we decided to get out of duck keeping after predators finished off the 2 hens we had. Luke, a male muscovy/rouenn cross mule, is the sole survivor. Hes free to a good home in the SF Bay Area. He has a soothing quack, and very nice mallard like plumage with spotted belly feathers. If you...

    Leave egg in rack for lockdown?

    I've been letting the eggs sit on their side but I've had some issue with splay legs. Is it better to leave them in the quail racks (removed from turner of course) so they're upright and don't roll? Seem like the first one out is ok but the followup guys must have trouble because the first one...

    Stuck quail

    Well in each of the last couple of hatches I've had a chick who seemed to have zipped a good amount but then couldn't go much further. This is after a chick was successfully hatched on its own. We peeled them out after waiting for 16+ hours with no progress. Ones doing great but the more recent...

    How important is egg turning?

    I was a week ahead on putting my latest batch of eggs in lockdown and out of the turner and they seem to be ok when they hatched today. Is the turner/being turned all that important? I figured that they're so light that sticking to a side may not be a big deal. OTH, they have more surface...

    Cot Babies - when can i throw them in with the adults?

    Hi, my little hatcheroos are feathering out. At what point can I throw them in the adult birds? They're still pretty small - do they have to be able to defend themselves from the big guys & girls?

    Hole in eggshell

    Hi, got a few incubating quail eggs and one has a small pencil tip size hole in it. I looked in it and I see the membrane is still good and it definitely looks like tis developing. What should I do with it? Humidity is mid 50s in the bator.

    Chick has been gasping for a few days

    theres a video of it. We got some livestock vitamin solution (seems like gatorade) and gave her some chick grit. Feels a little lighter than her broodmates. Think she might have eaten some wood shavings which we took out. Cant really feel a crop though so that might not be it. Don't hear...

    can I feed a coturnix pheasant feed?

    I get pheasant feed for my ducks for the protein. Will it work for quail too?
