I simply LOVE the coloring of Sicilian Buttercups! So unique and beautiful!
(Image from Janicki Buttercups)
But I also LOVE the shape of cochin, preferably bantams.
So, how would you go about making a bird with sicilian buttercup coloring on a cochin shape bird? Would you keep (as much as...
And can you attempt to figure out her parentage?
Choices for hens: Delaware, speckled Sussex, Red/wild/brown EEs
Rooster: half red EE half Barred rock (dotted feet ((mostly yellow but with black splashes)), barred with fair amount of red leakage. dual comb)
If you know what color eggs she'll...
Is this guy (front and center) a little rooster? I just want to make sure I'm sexing them by their pea combs correctly. I'll post individual photos tomorrow! They are barred EEs? Well barred rock EE mixes. They have darker legs like their mom (EE) along with cheeks and beard. Photo is a week...
My easter egger (red-brown and I'm guessing with ONLY red brown genes and lays darker blue eggs with slight green tint) Hatched 12 chicks. 11 BRxEE's and 1 BRxD. They ALL turned out black with white or pale yellow head spots chins, bellies, and SOME have white/yellow chests cheeks bibs or dark...
How do I get it off? He keeps rolling over and getting stuck on his back, I cut the tape in half behind his head so it is 2 peaces and he can move his neck around a little!
Hello! I'm starting to make a new aviary. I would love to house many birds in it. The available space is 20' by 15'. I could make 2 so they are both 10' by 15'. The area does have power so small birds would get an aviary. I will post designs and stuff on here soon. The flooring is 1' by1'...
I would love to mix my cot quail with some other birds. Any suggestions? Quail take up the space at the bottom of my aviary, so I would like a few small birds who will fly around on perches and stuff. But the birds must be reasonably hardy. I don't expect these birds to be out and about in the...
yah, yah I know there is a quail PEN thread but AVIARIES are different!!!
But i need ideas for my quail aviaries!!!
When you post about your aviary be sure to tell:
what the floor is
what type of quail or other birds you keep in it
anything that you feel is special about your aviary
and any...
So for my science experiment I want to do something with quail. I don't care if it is about egg production, hatches, or any thing else...
BUT IT MUST BE "TESTABLE" (of corse that was in the teachers rules ; ) ).
I would love it if these stayed at a mid-high school level!!!!
If I get a good...
So I have a few quail, they do not perch and would do well with doves. But how cold hardy are ring necks? How about diamond? I want a larger bird so I will most likely go with ringnecks! Can they drink out of those chicken chick waterers??? And what food? My quail eat Organic Pride pellets, do I...
I have a huge dog run( about 8feet by 12 feet And 6 feet tall) gravel bottom, a few perching spots, all fenced roofed and netted!!! I have 3 coturnix and plan on getting 1-3 more. How many bobwhite could I get? How many valley quail? Any broody quail? I really want friendly birds but quail are...
I want a new pet quail, who will bond quickly with me. Can bobwhite perch? how about valleys? how long do California quail live? how long do bobwhite live? Are they both cold hardy? which do you prefer?
My spoiled, pet coturnix quail passed away today. His name was Simba, because he had the prettiest bib in the world. But when I let him out today into his big cage, he jumped into the fence, then couldn't walk. I thought he had just dislocated his leg for he couldn't or wouldn't stand, just fell...
I found a big bump on my problem prone coturnix quail, and I am looking for some advice.
By the way this is THE problem prone quail... :idunno
Her name is egor. Yes I know that's not how you spell it, but i don't care.
Hi, I live in the US and wish for a wider coturnix quail color choice.
Does anyone know how to get these colors from scratch .

I do not raise the bird for meat but I do for color!
I am new to this quail thing and have 3 hens from November and 2 Roos from May!
