    Broody hen and a crazy roo

    Okay I've stated that my male has 'issues' (hides, lazes about, sits on eggs, growls at me when grabbing for eggs) Now I'm suspecting a hen or the male has taken to hoarding eggs in a corner to sit on. My male and a particular hen have taken to shoving all the eggs in one corner. I WISH I had...

    How do I know that the Roo has been doing his 'job'?

    With the weather picking up and not being all dramatic now... I'd like to start hatching some eggs. I've got 1 male to 4 females. I'm not against sectioning him off with only 2 females, just felt keeping them all i n one cage would be fine. I see ruffled feathers here and there but I'm not...

    Running beaks across cage?

    Are my birds mental or bored? Just got 5 texas am (6-8 wks old) and 3 of the females are continually running their beaks across the cage. they have not hurt themselves but it is just a bit weird.... (or maybe not? these are my first birds). Any suggestions or jokes? lol

    Chick has curled toes and hobbles about but falls over quite often. occasionaly it takes to extending its legs behind itself. I thought it was spraddle at first but it hobbles well with my mini sandals. 2 days old. Had to help it hatch it took 27 hours to get as far as it did... which was not...

    Texas A&M Hatch #3

    If you go back a few pages you'll see my first attempt at a homemade incubator and hatching my first 25 Texas A&M quail. I later found out I did not have enough oxygen reaching the eggs (only had 2 pencil sized holes in the incubator). So I tossed out that tiny incubator and finally made a...

    Buy Gamebird Starter online?

    I can't seem to find a local source for gamebird starter or even turkey/chicken starters. I might not be looking hard enough or using the right keywords but does anyone know a source in the Los Angeles area or an online store that's not too expensive?

    Texas AM - Incubator - 1st time!

    I ordered 25 eggs from an ebay seller and got 30. 2 cracked during shipping and 2 more by my own fault when I was being clumsy in transferring them to the bator cradles. Started my incubator with a salvaged Ikea drawer. It had a frosted window that I thought was perfect for viewing. Went...

    A few questions

    1. Is it legal in Los Angeles (I live in east la)? I know tons of neighbors with chickens and roosters. The neighbor across the street pratically has a zoo in their back yard. BUT I do have a neighbor on the same property (behind me) who would love to report me for anything he can (longgg...

    new from los angeles :)

    I've always wanted a few hens and a rooster, but I decided that it might not work out with the space I have. I can certainly make a 3x6 spot for some quails! And I'll probably make it about 18 inches high. After reading about quails they seem to be frail but very easy to maintain (and pay you...
