    Are Serama hens noisy?

    Hi all, Looking for some advice from anyone with experience of Seramas? I have a tiny garden in an urban area (houses all around in very close proximity) and I have two hybrid hens. I'm absolutely in love with chicken keeping and I am desperately keen to have some more girls. I think I have...

    Too good to be true?

    Hi all, Hoping for some anecdotal advice from those more experienced than I. We've had our two hybrid gingernuts for almost a month now, and I can't believe how tame and lovely they are! They don't mind us being near them or sitting with them, they follow me around the garden, they let us pick...

    Will she egg eat? Help!

    Hi all, Really need some opinions and reassurance hopefully. We have two Gingernut Ranger hybrid hens which we've had a week. Today one of the girls laid her first ever egg. She laid it in the run as maybe she didn't realise to go to the nest box, and when I went in to poo pick this evening I...

    Best litter to avoid poo-balls

    I know that poo-balls are a big issue for some quail keepers and I want to avoid it myself. I'm on a mission to discover the best litter/bedding to use to avoid said balls forming. I (of course) will do a big clean once a week and then little tidy ups when necessary, but my girls are messy...

    Female Coturnix Noises

    Hi all, I notice that every now and again some of my females will start making a noise louder than their normal chatter, they stretch themselves up tall and make this noise over and over for 10 seconds or so, then settle back down and carry on their business. It's like a loud cricket kind of...

    Pecked Head

    Hi all, I have four japanese quails which I believe to all be females. They are approx 7 weeks old now. Three have light/golden feathers and the fourth one has darker brown feathers and is noticeably smaller than the others (not skinny, just smaller). They were all from the same hatched group...

    Cleaning out Quail

    Hi all, We have four female Japanese quail in a rabbit hutch, we've had them 3 weeks now and I'm really enjoying them, they take mealworms from my hands and allow me to stroke them a little bit, although they are still quite nervous ladies. My question is about cleaning them out. Currently I...

    Handling Quail

    Hi there, I'm completely new to Quail keeping, but this weekend I bought 4 female Japanese quails to be pets but also to give us eggs. They haven't come into lay yet, I believe they are only about 3 or 4 weeks old. They seem happy in the rabbit hutch I am using to keep them in, but my question...
