Hello. We have a 5/6 year old duck who got sick last night. She can stand but cannot walk and drinks a little bit but refuses to eat. She hasn't laid a egg in a while and seems very weak. She was originally bought from a feed store around easter. We are almost positive she is a pekin, but could...

Hello. I have been needing to know what sex and breed my quail are for a while. I meant to get to it back in June, but one of my 2 quail passed away. I recently got more, and they are at the age where I am pretty sure the sex can be determined. Comet. One of the first of my quail which I am...

I started a aviary for my quail along with my dad seeing that he needed friends after his mate(?) died at less than 6 months old. We got about over halfway when my dad starting to not work on it anymore and refuses to do so any longer, even when I have 3 chicks and 2 adults (one mine) that need...

I recently got 5 button quail, 4 chicks and 1 young adult. (I got them today, 4PM. Currently 3 AM as I post this.) I separated the young adult from the chicks ASAP. (YA did not hurt the chicks at all, luckily.) The ride home was a bit bumpy and when they all were transferred in the brooder I...

Yesterday my incubator broke so I had to take away my button quail's heat lamp so I could keep the eggs warm, I replaced it with a heating pad and made a small nest for him, I also gave him more food and water and went off to bed. Today I went in there to check how warm it was and when I did he...

Hi, I have been a bit interested in farming ever since I have joined BYC. I was going to start with meat rabbits but my mom loves rabbits too much so that was not a option. One day I was eating some shrimp, and this made me think: "Wish I could have more shrimp, but they are so expensive." Then...

Hi fellow BYCers, here in Southeast Texas we are having storms come in Saturday night, which is a large problem because I have some quail eggs in incubation, I think they may be at day 4 or 6, not for sure. They are Tuxedo Button Quail Eggs, and due to their size I have heard they react to...

Hi. I would need your opinion on these eggs which I got in the mail, all of these were taken on the same day. Dead or alive?? (Look closely, you can see veins) ((GREAT. I should have really posted this in the incubation part of the forum))

Hi everyone. I was thinking about building a small run that my button quail could go into. (Only in the day) But I have seen pictures of squirrels eating small birds and that has come to my concern I have been bitten by a squirrel before and it was not pretty, and nor would it be a good way to...

Hi everyone. Recently the "OK" button on my rcom mini was not working. I eventually fixed it, but while trying to I accidentally set the temperature down to 17 degrees Celsius when it is supposed to be 38 degrees Celsius. I could not find anything on how to raise it back up on the owner's...

Hi fellow avian lovers! I have had a interest in doves ever sence I went fishing and found a stunned dove which had hit a window. Even though it was stunned and wild, it did not try to bite me or anything. I put it near a bush, it soon recovered. But I know that is just the tip of the ice berg...

Hello everyone. I have what I think is a male button quail. He is almost 8 months old but his what I think mate died when he was only 5/6 months old. He has been lonely ever since. I have been thinking about getting 6 eggs and incubating them, raising them and slowly introducing them to my male...

Hi everyone. My turtle has been acting weird.. I'm very worried!!!!! For about 2 weeks I have been feeding him bacon because I could not get the frozen brine shrimp blocks he normally gets because everyone was too darn lazy to go to the store. (I'm way too young to drive.) Today I tried to feed...
