    Are buttons affected by coryza?

    Been a while since my last post... Wow. Anyway, my outdoor aviary could use a little bit of cleanup. I think button quail would do the job well, but there's one problem. I have free range chickens that hang out nearby. I haven't found any information on whether buttons are affected by coryza...

    Lethargic (sick?) Tolbunt Polish Chicken

    My chicken Harle seems to be sick. I think it's a he, but don't quote me on that. Lately he's just been sitting in the corner of the coop not really interested in doing anything. His wings are droopy (not too uncommon for him, but I thought I'd throw that out there), one more so than the other...

    Partially Scalped Chicken (Do I need to dub comb?)

    My hen managed to partially scalp herself the other day. Her comb (what's left of it) is hanging in front of her face and the end is turning black (not entirely sure why, but it can't be good). Should I dub it? I don't see any other options right now, but if anyone has any other ideas, please...

    Help! Duckling help needed ASAP.

    I just got home with a runner duckling, and put it in the brooder with my two Japanese Bantam chicks. Then when I went to feed them, I found bugs in the chick starter (ewww). Can I feed them adult chicken food for a day? I can get more chick starter tomorrow.

    Cockatiel Help?

    I'm the proud new owner of two gorgeous white Cockatiels that were a surprise gift from one of my parents. I don't have any Cockatiel experience, so I've been researching them since I got home today. There's only one problem with them. They won't eat anything but millet spray. They've had a few...

    Finch Death (HELP!!)

    I found one of my zebra finches dead in the aviary today. She lived with 5 others in a large space. The bird was plucked bare (no feathers at all). There are no signs of rodents. Can anyone tell me what happened? Also, now her mate is left alone and I don't have extra females. I'm worried...

    Hybridizing is NOT a good idea!

    I've been seeing a lot of posts lately on breeding hybrid quail, and I decided to just put this out there. In my opinion, hybrids should not be bred unless you have a clear scientific reason to do so. They're hard to breed, and often you'll end up with a lot of dead quail. For example, when...

    African Harlequin Quail?

    How does one take care of one of these quail? How do you incubate them? How do you breed them? Are they sensitive to cold? What are their personalities like? I found some hatching eggs on ebay, and I'd love to order some, but I don't want to get into anything without knowing what I'm doing. All...

    Might be getting Coturnix! Tips?

    Hello BYC! I'm a quail fan that might be getting some Coturnix quail. I've done about 4 pages of thorough research on them, but was wondering what sort of tips you BYC people might have for me. My situation for raising them is... unusual. See, the idea is to raise them at a school for a more...
