    Silkie hatching a quail egg?!?!

    My button quail hen recently hatched one egg and kept sitting on two more which are both fertile but at different stages. One should hatch in about 5 days and the other might still take another 10. It seems like the quail hen stopped sitting. I have a silkie which is broody but has no eggs so I...

    Chick attacked by dog and now has air bubble below wing.

    One of the chicks which I'm raising in my room was mildly attacked by my dog. I left the door open and he sneaked in and one of the chicks jumped out of the cage and my dog sort of scratched a small patch of skin on its back. There is pretty much no blood but the chick is limping and there is a...

    what's your opinion?

    This hen of mine hatched out 3 eggs and left the other three in the nest. One of those 3 hatched and now the hen won't accept it. Since chicken are very social I thought of taking one chick from the 3 away from the hen and raising two instead of one lone chick. The chicks don't peck at each...

    We really have the worst luck with budgies! This is just crazy! :(

    Some time ago my dad and I built a aviary outside for some birds. I got 4 budgies from a friend and everything was off to great start. Then we had a rat problem and 2 of the budgies disappeared and one got attacked by a rat and died an hour later. Then one was all alone so we bought another one...

    Last chick needed some help hatching

    My hen started brooding on 7 eggs a while ago. I separated her inside the nest box to keep other hens away from the chicks once they hatch. On the 21 day 2 had hatched and some others had pips. On the 22 day 6 had hatched and the last egg had not even piped. The hen still kept sitting on the egg...

    Mealworms are hard to get rid of!!

    A few months ago I started a small mealworm farm under my bed (in which I don't sleep since I moved into my brothers old room). They got of to a good start and I watched their life cycle! We had some mice living on our ceiling which we tried to get rid of. One day I wanted to give some mealworms...

    Are these just farm mixes or do they have some OEGB in them?

    I found a member on here with a avatar that looks just like my rooster (as far as I could tell) so I asked her what breed it was and she said it was a Old English Game Bantam...Silver Duckwing! I searched around and found some pictures on here that looked very much like my hen and my rooster...

    Flavored electrolytes for chinese blue breasted quail chick??

    I have a injured button quail chick and bought some electrolytes! I just found out that the electrolyte powder is raspberry flavor! Will this harm the chick or can I just give it anyway! The packet says 5.48 gram for 200ml and this is for humans so should I do half of that or even less since the...

    This is not about chicken but quail are basically the same as chicks! HELPHELP!!!!!

    One button quail egg hacthed today and I found out about it by seeing the male quail dragging it around the aviary! I ran inside and held it and blew some arm air onto it and it's moving a tiny bit and trying to breather! It breaths with its mouth open so when it gasps for air its mouth opens...

    Aviary problem :/

    I built my aviary with my parents about 1 year ago! Because of cost we used normal chicken mesh instead of the strong lead coated rust-proof mesh that cost a huge amount! We live at the coast so everything rusts! Now one budgie has already escaped through a hole that we found so we decided to...

    Could her eggs still be fertile?

    Ten days ago I got my first two silkie hens! I will use these hens to hatch quail eggs and to create some interesting silkie mixes! They have laid 3 eggs in the past 2-3 days. Today my small bantam hen went broody on 5 eggs. This is her second time being broody and sadly her last chicks got...

    city turkey?

    I live in Swakopmund which is a coastal town in Namibia! A friend of mine has some turkeys on their farm and they are really cool! I read that some people keep them in their backyard in a city but I think most of them live at the edge of the city and have a huge backyard! This is what my...

    What should I do????? :/

    I've been looking for silkies for about a year now and they are very hard to find in Namibia! Now I found someone that breeds them. I have one bantam rooster here at home with 4 hens! Would I be able to get a silkie pair (one roo one hen) or will this cause fighting?

    My button quail started laying not long ago and the first egg I've found was blue! Now I found a secret nest full of eggs-most blue and a few brownish with tiny dots!! Every button quail egg I have ever seen was brown/green with brown spots! The one (or two) quail that laid the eggs are...

    First chick!!!

    My hen started laying about 2 months ago and then she went broody. Today her first 2 eggs hatched. I only got to see one of them completely but I saw the back of the second one! She keeps them under her most of the time but I waited until it finally emerged! It started climbing up her back...
