I have been a long time member of Backyardchickens.com and am hoping everyone could help me out and vote for Miss Oakley! She is part of the True Love Valentines Day Photo Contest. Please click on the link and "like" her photo. We are currently in 3rd place. Thank you...
I'm in love but am clueless on the color? I can't wait to see it feather out. It seems to be mainly yellow with very faint reddish stripes. Any ideas? Is it a very faint roux dilute?

It has been a while since I have hung around the quail thread. Hopefully most of you are doing well. Just hatched out 14 new ones yesterday and just wanted to share
I raise quail that get 28% game bird feed. I will be getting some ducks soon and would prefer to keep them on the same food. Is this practical? I am afraid of giving my ducks game bird due to "angel wing" high protein. But we all know that feed stores do not generally know there sh*t. They...

Can't you already hear Elton john in the background? LOL I just wanted to point out how convenient it is for me to use pressed pine pellets in my brooders. Once the brooders are dirty I use the icky pellets in my wood stove. Then I use the remaining ash from the wood stove for my adult quail...
Day old Coturnix quail. English whites, italians, browns, tuxedos, and rosettas. Such an amazing mixture of colors for only a 15 egg hatch. :::SWOON:::
Can you give me any pointers on how to tell the difference between these colors at a day old? My first chick of 15 hatched last night (a brown) and this morning 2 more hatched (a white and a tux/tibetan?) I will post pics soon
Does anyone actually sell Jumbo "colored" coturnix? I would love to switch over to Jumbo at some point but love all of my tux, rosetta, whites, and italian colors.
I set my eggs in my brand new bator on Christmas night and ordered a Digital Thermometer Hygrometer that should be here by the 29th. After reading some of the posts about hatching I started getting nervous that only filling one of my water basins may not be adequate. Should I add water to both...
I have a total of 7 birds now after culling Charlie Sheen. I have 2 definite hens laying 1 egg per day and I have one male crowing. I have been observing the rest for about a week and I have not heard any of the remaining 4 crow. My Coturnix quail are not feather sexable and I am a horrible...
This is my first time raising quail and I have 8 birds total. 2 browns (female), 2 English whites (not sexed yet), 3 tuxedos (1 male others not sexed yet), and 1 Rosetta (not sexed yet.) They are almost 7 weeks old and one of my tuxedo's has finally matured into a roo and my hens aren't laying...
