    Sneezing Silkie Chicks

    I've got two silkie chicks that are about a week and a half old. They've both been sneezing a lot, especially right before bed. During the day they seem to go a long time without sneezing, but it seems like when they start laying down to sleep they both start sneezing a ton. No other symptoms...

    Is my chicken sick?

    My Silkie hen has been panting a lot, and no longer likes eating mealworms? She gets excited and kills them, but then just leaves them and shakes her head at them. I still see her eating seeds and other feed so it's not like she isn't eating at all. She's not sneezing, but her cluck does sound a...

    How old do my baby bobwhites have to be before I can feed them bugs? They are currently about 3-4 weeks old. Is this old enough?

    Ducks for me?

    Hey, I was just wondering what kind of environment a duck would need? And also, what kind of duck one would suggest for beginners? I have never had any kind of water foul before, but would be interested in some ducks, mainly because they are adorable. Any suggestions?

    Are bobwhites sitters?

    So, I was wondering if bobwhite quail were any good at sitting? I have some that I hatched, and although I don't plan on keeping most of them, I was wondering if I could get any more from the ones I have? I wouldn't know since I've never had any before. Thanks for putting up with all of my...

    A Bath?

    So, I have another question. Probably a dumb one too. But anyway, I have a baby bobwhite who has been picked on. I applied rooster booster pick no more, and it helped. But now the stuff has stuck on in a hard paste, and I was wondering if I could give him a bath to try to wash it off? Or am I...

    Coop for My Babies?

    So, I am ready for my 1 week old bobwhites to go outside. I don't really know what I should use though! I don't know what any of the requirements are, so if any of you could help me out, that'd be great! I can't put my brooder outside, because it is not rain or predator proof. So I just need to...

    Hey ya'll! So, my little Tic-Tac (a 1 week old bobwhite) has been bullied! I had some freinds over today, and they wanted to go see the quail, but the babies got a little stressed out by all the people and started pecking each other! Tic-tac got an open wound on his behind, and I was wondering...

    Molting and Flying

    Hey guys, me again! So now I was wondering when my baby bobwhites would start molting and flying? It has been a full week since most of them have hatched, and I have noticed little feathers on their ever growing wings. Man those babies grow fast! Already their wings are so much bigger in...

    Odd!

    A little while ago, I noticed one of my babies rubbing his beak on the bottom of the brooder, and scratching it with his foot! Is this normal? Is he okay? He has stopped now, but I'm still worried, he was doing it for a rather long time.

    Pecking!

    Hey guys, I have another problem. My babies are only three days old, but they are already pecking each other silly! I have plenty of food for them, and also add lettuce for them to play with, but they still seem much more interested in pecking each other than any thing else I give them! Do you...
