I have found a devilishly handsome EE roo, that I'll be purchasing soon. I want to pair him and my Abigail, to produce some beautiful little EE chicks. Abigail is going through a very soft molt. She stopped laying because of it. Would she breed with the roo, even though she's going through a...
I have three young guinea pigs: 2 females and 1 male w/ extra large cage. I'm interested in trading them for a single pullet. Breed doesn't matter. I'm located in Lancaster, Ohio. I know it's probably a long shot. I got the piggies for a breeding project. Life happens, unfortunately. And I'd...
Hand raised exclusively indoors, wonderful little bird. 1 rooster left! $25 Perfect for a starter flock, and all nice and small. Pick up only. For whatever reason, my computer isn't allowing me to upload pics of each bird. If it's okay and not against the rules, I can either email or text the...
and my diamond bracelet, as well as my amethyst ring. I made a police report...but I am so horribly angry right now.
If any of you remember, in a previous thread, I talked about how my son got kicked out of his bedroom so she could have it. Well, he still had clothes in the closet and in his...
I mentioned before that I am sharing a home with my parents. However, now my sister has joined the chaos by moving in with her youngest daughter.
She's been here for only 3 days and already she's causing problems. She's unemployed and likes to sleep in until 1pm. Which means that if anyone...
...socially acceptable for teenage boys to act like jerks?
I took my niece fishing today, and there was a group of boys acting like absolute butts to people at the lake. I discovered that apparently fishing is the "most redneck thing to do". I mean, I love me some Real Tree brand clothing and...
Okay, so about a year ago, a friend lent me $4,000 so I could go get my Class B CDL. We came to an agreement that I would pay him back between $100-$200 a month. To bring you all up to speed: I was originally suppose to start paying him back six months ago. Unfortunately, the only long distance...
So my uncle has a sweet little hen that got totally scalped. Nearly all the flesh around the majority of the back of her head is absolutely gone. Nothing but some skin here and there, and a LOT of skull showing. This happened today, actually.
The hen is responsive and she is active (a little...
Although I absolutely love my quail, I've come to the realization that I am now so busy with my job and family, that I cannot give my birds the time they need.
The birds are in Lancaster, OH. I would prefer they all went at the same time.
I cannot ship, this is pick-up only. If interested...
Turn my back for three minutes making my son his dinner, and I come back to him grabbing my Coties. How he managed to get the cage they're in open, is a mystery. I thought the thing was locked up nice and tight, but apparently two year olds are awesome at proving that theory wrong.
Poor...
I have for sale several button quail.

Well fed and well cared for...
About 20 minutes ago, I was dropping my sister off at her apartment. I was driving my mothers car. I pulled up to her apartment and put the car in park- the LED that shows it was in park was clearly lit up. I had my foot on the brake while talking to her through the passenger side door, and out...
...which is why you hit the ground.
One of my cots decided that it could soar like an eagle, and flapped out of my brooder. Only to land with a very solid sounding thump on the floor mere seconds later. I picked him up and he puked on me.
He's acting normal; eating and drinking as usual...
Two of the three cots I have roll on their backs for a tummy scratch and follow me around. Was not expecting any bird of mine to do that! They also rub against my hand like a cat.
The third cot chick avoids me like the plague. Not sure if when I peeped at it, I said something truly insulting...
Out of my three coturnix chicks, I have two that peep nonstop. They have plenty of fresh water, food, the heat is perfect, they have plenty of companions, and are little eating, drinking and pooping machines.
They just will not stop peeping!
One is perfectly content to hang out with my...
To start off, due to a financial situation, my parents, my little family, and my niece are all living under one roof. On the best of days, there's tension. On the worst, it's down right hostile.
Now, my sister has moved on with her new boyfriend and their child, leaving my niece to be raised by...
The beak is sticking out of the membrane, but the chick is obviously shrink wrapped, as the membrane isn't attached to the shell anymore. The chick is peeping, but has been having trouble getting out since yesterday evening. I tried to moisten the membrane, but it's not working. The veins are...
So to start off, I'm on day three of incubating 18 button quail eggs, and am using a homemade Styrofoam still air incubator. The temperature stays almost always at a steady 100 degrees Fahrenheit, with an occasional low of 98 degrees (which, I believe, is caused by my house being a wee bit...
Hello, everyone!
Major newbie here regarding raising chickens and other poultry. I've actually just started incubating button quail eggs (18 of the boogers) in a homemade incubator, and am devouring any and all helpful information on successfully incubating and caring for these ridiculously...
