    loosing chicks, very hard shell, tough membrane

    Getting good hatches from all the eggs set except for 1 Wheaten Bantam. Just a few of her chicks make it out of the shell. I have opened a lot of the eggs and find a beautiful, fully developed chick that has taken up the yolk but died before internal pip. I thought they took up the yolk after...

    Giving PolyViSol to ailing quail

    How do I administer it to a month + old quail? Can it go into water? Seems like my quail are not OK with being handled so I am not too sure about giving it individually. When giving pedialite or gatoraide, do you add to water or give directly to birds. How much for a half grown bobwhite?

    Aviary or wire cage for Snowflake Bobwhites

    I have 5 snowflakes that are doing well. I am about to put them outside because it is warm both day and night. I see they "popcorn" or "boink" much more than coturnix do. Do you keep them in high topped aviaries or very low cages? How low or high to keep them from hurting themselves? My...

    mixing quail and chicken rails in GQF 1610 turner

    I seem to be having a problem when I mix the chicken rails and the quail rails on the 1610 turner. Often the arm that goes to the turner motor slips off the motor arm and drops. I usually only use 3 of the rails. I check the incubator and find the eggs dumped onto the wire floor. Anybody ever...

    Huge swelling in waddle, below eye

    Wynona has a huge swelling on one side of her face in the waddle area below her eye. Her eye looks bright and clean, so I do not think it is involved in what is going on. She acts like she feels OK. I just put her in a cage and she has not eaten yet. She is not happy to be separated from her...

    Sexing Colombian Wyandotte Bantams

    I have 4 13 week old Colombian Wyandotte Bantams. Two have red combs and waddles and are showing iridescent blue/green in the tail feathers. They are not showing hackle or saddle feathers that are different from what I am pretty sure are girls. In fact one of them has pretty rounded neck...

    Possible dislocation of hip (s) and chicken sling

    My beautiful little SS appears to have dislocated hips or ligament damage. I am sure it is not disease, as my little grand-daughter "caught" her the evening before I noticed a problem. I am sure g-daughter fell on or pushed the SS down causing the damage. In Maleficent's struggle to move...

    Silver Seabright - girl or boy

    These are 4 weeks old and I can barely see a little colorless spike at top of "v" above the nostrils. I cannot keep a boy so will not name them till I am pretty sure they are girls. Both look the same. Sorry for poor quality, my models were not happy with me!

    can dogs eat eggs from Wazine treated chickens

    I treated my chickies with Wazine and am pulling the eggs. I wondered if perhaps it would be OK to give them scrambled to my dog, He loves eggs and could have worms from running in the yard (and I think he eats poo sometimes, yuck). Has anyone ever done that? I also have Safeguard to get any...

    same age, different development rate

    I got 3 BO chicks 10 days ago and they were identical in size. One was just a shade darker in color, otherwise I could not tell the three apart. Now 2 of the chicks are much larger and have quite a lot of feathers on the wings and some tail fluff. The third is much smaller and just barely has...

    Hi ya'all from Central Florida

    Been lurking here for a while, reading and pondering. Well today I will probably pick up a few chicks at the local feed store to raise out. I live in the city but am a backyard farmer with raised garden squares and several fruit trees. Been wanting chickens for a while but wasn't sure I was...
