    Started with grey body and white wing tips...

    Started with 90% grey body and only white on the wing tips as day old from Murray McMurray in a Premium Layer mix. 4 weeks old now. White had spread to most of body other than head. Slate legs. Larger than most others in the mix. Any ideas? The two in the middle of this photo. To show how...

    Whiting true blue gender

    Two 15 week old suspect males. No crowing or other attitude/mannerism signs of gender. They hang out very closely with my other two whiting true blue (99% sure pullets) of the same age, and none of the four really mix with my older pullets. Sort of like a sub pecking order/flock between the...

    Consider making a "weasel box" for your mouse and rat problems.

    I was surfing around on YouTube, and came across the topic of "Weasel Boxes". Seems quite a few weasel and mink trappers use a standard wooden rat trap in a box versus a leg hold trap that you might imagine they would use for fur trapping. Got me to thinking about how this could also work for...

    Stolen black swan, be on the lookout - Oregon/West Coast

    Stolen black swan, be on the lookout - Oregon/West Coast Cutting and pasting from Facebook. This is from Enchanted Farm Sanctuary in Oregon. "I’m devastated to share that last night, just after 2:00am someone came onto my property & took Belladonna Winterspell!!! I was woken up by the dogs...

    Majorly perplexed by this tunnel.....

    Let me set the scene. My run is 23 feet by 15 feet, with wood fence on 2 sides, the coop on the third (for most of the third side), and a farm fence style fence for the 4th. Wood fence is the "Shadow Box" type where the fence boards alternate on each side of the horizontal 2 by 4. Fence looks...

    Which would you choose? Between two Co-Op feeds...

    I am thinking of taking a chance on a feed Co-Op that trucks in feed from Spokane to the West Side of the state every 2 months. Uses the method where if you (and some other local people) fill a pallet, they will deliver it to someone who can then distribute to the other buyers. Main reason I...

    Alfalfa cubes soaked with crumble overnight

    Thought I would see what the ladies thought of some Alfalfa cubes soaked with crumble overnight. Recipe so far. 2 cubes Alfalfa. Roughly 2 cups of crumbles. 2 cups of warm water. (I already have added a third cup of water. First 2 cups soaked up super fast). Observations so far. This...

    Reassure me! First chick injury/blood!

    Not the sight you want to see in the coop, especially when you are on the lookout for bloody poop/keeping a watch out for coccidia. But it looked a little too much like just......actual blood. Found this on a 4 week old chick. I don't see any actual injury on the chick, just dried...

    White/light fluff, green or slate legs, slight darker circle on head

    I know a photo is worth 1,000 words. And I know these photos are crap. Haha. I will try to post better photos tonight. But for now......chick with white/light fluff, green or slate legs, slight dark circle or dot on head. Thoughts? I think it may be my free "exotic" chick from Murray...

    4 inch versus 3 inch elbow for waste-free feeders?

    I realized after I got home from the store today that I had picked up 4 inch 90 degree elbows instead of the 3 inch that I now see recommended all over the DIY waste-free feeder builds. Anyone see any problem with this, other than the need to wait until they are slightly older than if using 3...

    Worm Out Gel versus Wormer Deluxe Powder

    Hello folks. Completely hypothetical here. Don't even have any birds at the moment. I was just browsing some of the Praziquantel/Oxfendazole combos on the market and cant seem to wrap my head around the dosage discrepancies of two products that contain the same active ingredients. Both have...

    Does Murray Mcmurray label their shipped chicks?

    Can't seem to find this info anywhere. Does Murray Mcmurray usually try to label the chicks they send? Via leg banding or food coloring, or anything like that? I am guessing "no" since so many people have trouble identifying their free "mystery" chicks.

    Spacing between roost bars...

    If I am working with a 24 inch deep poop board, what would folks say is the ideal spacing between two parallel roost bars? I know the suggested spacing is 12 inches from the front of poop board and/or back wall, and therefore putting one bar smack dab in the middle of the 24 inches would meet...

    Rabbit versus Fox versus Bald Eagle

    This is right in my neck of the woods! https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/watch-bald-eagle-battles-fox-for-rabbit-in-skies-above-san-juan-island/ They have video of it as well if you look thru the article. Nuts!

    California Valley quail temp and humidity

    I am going to be incubating some California Valley quail eggs for someone. What are the latest thoughts on temperature and humidity? Should I just go with what has worked for my coturnix incubations?

    Conversion of "3 sides totally open" aviary to a "good for chickens" coop.

    I started a thread about my plans to convert my quail aviary to a chicken coop a couple days ago, but named it something like "what is the deal with chicken tunnels?". Figured I would start a new thread with a better name where I actually document my thought process (and actual process) of...

    Appropriate size for a "tunnel" to the run?

    I am thinking of coming over to the dark side next Spring by either greatly reducing or maybe even getting rid of my quail in favor of chickens. In my imaginary setup, I would re-purpose my 50 SF quail aviary by turning it into a coop, and then maybe make a hardware cloth or chicken wire tunnel...

    Egg with tons of tiny "eggs" on it?

    Anyone ever see an egg with tons of tiny dots on it? They are hard like the shell. Also worth mentioning it is tiny even for a quail. It is for sure a fart egg/fairy egg, etc... The size doesn't concern me as much as the weird layer of hard dots on the outside, after it has been "painted" with...
