    Can YOU post a pic of your quail belgian antwerp's eggs?

    I have a 25 weeker, no signs of squatting. So, I'm wondering what color egg I should be expecting. : ) You know, antsy and excited and impatient so I'm curious what eggs to expect from her breed.

    Coturnix egg coloring and male to female hatching?

    With chickens, it is pretty easy to know what color eggs the hens will lay by breed. Is there any way with coturnix to know what colors the hens will lay? Also, do more males hatch than females? Thanks!

    Mites, roaches, random bugs despite a ton of DE everywhere.

    You know those people who seem to be plagued by Murphy's Law? Apparently, I got a good dose of whatever that crap is. My chickens are BABIED. I do everything I read that I can do as far as natural things to keep them healthy, happy, etc. Yet, since spring arrived, it has been one thing after...

    Culled sick bird remains?

    What does one do with a sick bird's remains when they've been culled? I know if I had land then burning the remains would be a possibility but I live in suburbia with nosey, nosey neighbors.

    Treating for gleet, possible secondary infection. Duramycin?

    Pretty much as stated, my hen has symptoms of gleet. I've been giving her garlic and ACV in her water, yogurt, epsom baths for about 20 minutes when I can (I have 3 little ones so not every day, which is crappy, I know.), and she's not looking better. I've been spraying her vent with iodine...

    Is there a way to humanely keep quail?

    I can't handle the thought of having birds in a cage, feet above the ground, no grass or dirt access. I especially can't handle having stacks or rows of cages. There has to be a humane way to raise them, right? A safe way for them to be pets, productive, and yet still efficient. I live in a...

    How to hang curtains in the corner for my hen's nesting area?

    Here is my coop: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/753878/my-constantly-under-construction-coop The right corner beside the door is where she has decided she likes to lay her eggs. That's not a big deal as I think the getting up and down from the nesting box is a bit much for her big girl...

    What breed do you think?

    I've been combing (HAHA!) through google images and threads trying to find the chick version of different combs since I'm just not certain about what I'm seeing. If you can direct me to that, I'd really appreciate it! SO, what would you say this breed and comb are?

    Fermented feeder in small ark?

    This subject hits two different forums so I'm sorry if you're seeing this twice. : ) I'm wanting to make a small ark (A mixture of these two, basically: http://www.anemergentagrarian.com/labels/Chickens.html) but am trying to find an easy way to add a fermented feeding trough to it. Ideas...

    How can I get her to stop pecking me?

    I got 3 golden comet pullets last week, knowing and seeing that they'd been pecked near to death by a few other GCs. They were very well cared for from what I could tell. I wanted GCs after reading about them and I felt best about buying these girls rather than from someone else. All 3 of...

    Ameraucana or EE? Pullet or Cockerels?

    Check the thread comments for more pictures later. I posted pics every couple of weeks with my last (they were also my first) chicks and plan to do the same here. These were sold to me as "Auracana/Ameraucana (Easter Eggers)" but they were purchased at a local auction so I'm not quick...

    Thick, nasty nails

    I just purchased a barred rock hen this afternoon. She has very thick nails, feces all over her rear... Poor thing looks healthy overall, just a couple of issues. I'm hoping that after a couple of weeks with me (a bath and some nail trimming, too) she'll be much better off. I've read to cut...

    My constantly under construction coop. : )

    My chicks are about 7 weeks old and I've been working on their coop for the longest. At first, I wanted to make it as cheaply as possible, as quickly as possible. Pallets sounded like a great idea. Then, I realized that it was not what I wanted, I was constantly frustrated with trying to...

    cheap, EASY foundation ideas?

    I've seen some people place their coop legs in cinder blocks and fill with concrete. Is that really enough weight to keep it from blowing over? We do get hurricanes here, as well as tornadoes and nasty storms. So far, we haven't had a tornado nor have we lost any of our furniture, etc. to the...

    Help with shed roof on pallet coop?

    I'm a complete novice at this. I've take a very strong pallet and placed it on bottom, battened it closed to hold the flooring, placed 3 wall pallets on it, and now I'm stuck. I want a shed style roof with complete ventilation because I live in tropical climate. I was hoping to do a tin roof...

    Urban ducks?

    I've tried and tried to google (and searched through here) the mess out of urban, backyard, etc. ducks. I've gathered that they WILL fly away (unless you have runners), even with clipped wings they can get pretty far, and that they don't need a huge swimming area. Apparently, they are quite...

    Non-crested POLISH?

    Anyone ever see a Polish chick (pure or not) hatch without a crest only to have it grow in later?

    What are we?

    I know what they were sold as but I'm wondering what BYCers think they are. I'm absolutely in love with them! :D This is Mereda. She (we're just going to call them all "she" and hope it sticks. HA!) is a brave little thing with fluffy hair. I have kids, hush! ; ) This is Rue...

    Combining one or two chicks from different flocks?

    HI! I'm new to owning chickens and live in a subdivision. I have an appointment with a local breeder today to get my first chicks. They're about 3 weeks old. I am limited to 4 or 5 chickens, and that is pushing it. Since I want several different breeds, am limited to my flock size, and...
