    Pair of Coturnix Quail

    Trying to find a new home for me and my husband's beloved pet quail, Lil' Lady and Tuft, as we're moving internationally in early January. Both are fairly good natured and quiet, and Lil' Lady lays an egg every other day. Tuft is smaller than Lil' Lady, and has had problems in the past with...

    Wheezing/Gurgly Coturnix Quail

    This is Tuft. He's a little over a year old. Much like his name suggests, he has a weird tuft-like growth on one side of his head. Because of that, his different coloring from his flockmates (1 male, 2 females), and his significantly smaller size, he used to get bullied quite a bit. To combat...

    Lethargic and extremely thin hen with swollen, hot abdomen?

    Hey all, Our 1-year old welsummer hen has started acting sluggish and lethargic over the past 2-3 days. Upon examination, we found that her abdomen was swollen and significantly hotter than that of our other five hens. She's also extremely thin, with her keelbone being very prominent. (All of...

    Quail with sagging wing- Sprained? Broken?

    It's been a few years since I posted on BYC so bear with me if I should be posting this in the quail category rather than this one. I got a flock of 8 Coturnix quail from a fella 10 days ago. They've been in quarantine away from our chickens since they got to our home, and in a secure, unlit...

    Pullet Curling Neck Under Body?!

    We had a house fire in late October, so we've had to relocate to a house about half an hour away from our farm. This week has been bitterly cold (anywhere from ~-25 to ~-40 Celcius), and the coop is not heated. Because we cannot be at the farm constantly, they do not have constant access to...

    ~TURKEY MISSING EYEBALLS~*GRAPHIC*

    Hi, I went to let out my chickens and turkeys out when I found one of my turkeys lying on the ground. At first, I thought it was dead, but when I got closer, I found that it was breathing shallowly. I cleaned the visible wounds out with warm water, but as I started to clean around the eyes, I...

    Hatching Duck Eggs for the First Time

    Hello! So, I bought duck (Rouen, I think) hatching eggs and just stuck them in my incubator yesterday. Are the heat and humidity levels the same as chickens? When should I put them on lockdown? If you have any advise regarding hatching ducks, I'd appreciate the knowledge.

    Wheezing chicken flock in under 24 hours

    Hello, Within 24 hours my entire chicken flock (16 adults, 5 chicks) has started gasping, wheezing, and coughing. There is no nasal discharge and and they do not seem droopy.

    Considering Guineas????

    I've been rasing chickens for nigh on ten years now, and was introduced to guinea fowl by one of my chicken buddies. I fell in love immediately. Now, I'm considering guineas as a sort of guardian for turkeys and chickens. Would that work? What else are guineas good for? Do they need separate...

    Chronic respiratory disease?

    A friend's 7-month old Welsumer hen seems to be exhibiting some, but not all of the symptoms of Chronic Respiratory Disease. She seems lethargic, droopy, and her breathing sounds thicker than that of their healthy hens. One of her eyes is watering constantly, and both have semi-swollen rings...
