    how to trim their beaks?

    I need to do some trimming, I have a few aggressive females and an over zealous male and it's starting to hurt the other birds. I'm wondering how much to trim, will it bleed and if anyone has pictures of their birds post trimming. Any help would be great. Thanks

    You could set your watch by them

    Well exactly 21 days after I put the bobwhite eggs in the incubator, and when I say exactly that's what I mean, we have a chick out of the egg and the others are on their way. I can't believe it! i put them in at noon and they hatch RIGHT at noon, Not even five minutes off This is so great!

    Sexing white bobwhites (while keeping their pants on)

    I'll be the first to admit I am awful at vent sexing. We have 6 bobwhites and two of them are white. I'm wondering if there is an obvious way to tell the boys from the girls... hopefully they're both girls because I know we have 3 boys already. Thanks! Darcie

I guess the...
