    Odd coturnix shell color

    With the coturnix, I know they have a blue shell, with an overlay of color which causes the spots. Once in awhile I get a solid blue egg with no spot overlay. It's always cool and I like them. However, last night I got something different. I'm guessing the spot overlay is solid. I'm...

    Quail temperament

    I bought the package deal with a Genesis incubator that came with free bobwhite quail eggs. I hatched them out and they started to lay about a month ago. Those quail have seen me walk past their pen a couple of times a day, I've fed and watered them every day and this has been going on for...

    Unfortunate jump into processing

    I've had five cockerels in freezer camp for a couple of months and have been putting off the processing. I've slaughtered birds in the past, but it's been over twenty years ago. It was never an easy task for me and I had never actually seen anyone do it (that was before the internet and...

    Food co-op chick

    For the Valentine's hatch I experimented with two dozen eggs from the grocery store. I set a dozen eggs from Trader Joe's and ended up with six leghorn chicks. I also set a dozen "cage-free" eggs from the local health food store. I was just hoping they were fertile. They were gorgeous with...

    Neighborhood going downhill?

    Is it urban (or rural) blight when you go past all those rows and rows of abandoned and vacant homes? Deb

    Experienced Trader Joe hatchers

    For the Valentine's Day hatch I decided to experiment with a couple of dozen grocery store eggs. One dozen turned out to not even be fertile, so they're a non-issue. I do have a question for you experienced hatchers about the Trader Joe fertile eggs. I wasn't sure about how old they were...

    Showgirls

    Are showgirls showable? And then are they just entered as AOV? If I remember from my son showing poultry (many, many years ago), that just means that is as far as they can go in judging (ie. not eligible for best of breed). If that is the case, I'm assuming they are being worked on for...

    Wanted: Lakenvelder - SQ line

    I'm looking for fertile silver lakenvelder eggs from a show line. I've been looking/researching for awhile now and haven't been able to find a source. I prefer to not start out with hatchery stock. I would also be interested in chicks or even adult birds. (Obviously the price is because...

    They've arrived!!!!....my new campines!

    No sooner than I moved my HQ egg flock girls into their coop, I got the itch to get show birds again. My son showed poultry when he was in 4-H. After much anticipation on my part, my gorgeous campines arrived today! I was a little nervous when I got the soggy, saggy box. I could hear noises...

    Red light, green light................freeze!

    You might have to be a bit older to remember the game, but I swear my "kids" were playing today. I was sitting with them this morning with a cup of coffee like I normally do. I bring out the kitchen scraps from the night before (a bunch of grapes this time) and pass out the treats. We have...

    It's been 15 long years!!!

    Okay, I'll admit that for most of those I had no chickens. Twenty weeks ago (tomorrow) we got day old chicks, today Priscilla (my lt. brown leghorn) presented me with her first egg! I know it was her, as she is the only white egg breed we have. Also her comb has been steadily growing and...

    Gentleman rooster..............not!

    Maybe he'll mature. I have a 19 week old australorp cockerel. He is definitely an "it's all about me" kind of guy. When I go out to see the birds and pass out treats, he will literally shoulder the girls out of the way so he gets most, if not all of the handouts. If anyone else manages to...

    Praying to the egg gods!

    Please oh please oh please! My oldest girls will turn 19 weeks on Monday. The comb on my one brown leghorn pullet has been reddening and growing steadily for the last few weeks. Today for the first time, it started to flop over slightly to the side. Also today for the first time I "caught"...
