    Water nipples for Chicks???

    Hey there everyone. May be a dumb question but does anyone use water nipples/cups for their chicks? I have 6 Rhode Island girls between 3 days old and a 1 week. Right now they drink from your standard bottle waterer in their brooder but they keep getting pine shavings in it. I guess that's not a...

    Quail with bare breast

    So this is new for me. One of my AMs stayed hunkered down in the straw when I came in to feed them today. (I free range in an 80 sq foot shed with straw on the ground) When she finally did move she looked like she was hobbling so I pick her up to see if she had anything stuck to her foot. Her...

    Does Color Matter for Feeding?

    OK.. I know this might sound crazy but it seems as though my quail are eating more out of my yellow feeder than my two red feeders. Am I just crazy? Could color have something to do with it? I mean they CLEAN out the yellow plastic feeder and leave about 1/2 in the reds.

    Best Watering Options

    Looking for advice. Right now I have my quail on the ground in their pen. Deep litter with straw. I have a 2 gallon stereotypical poultry waterer setup. It sits on a double layer of paving stones to get it up off the straw. By the end of the day the rim is almost full of straw. What are you...

    Too much fat?

    I'm hearing conflicting things on fat content. My girls have round the clock access to 24% protein feed and oyster shells. Plus I've been feeding them meal worms (quite a few) every day as treats. I was doing the meal worm thing for treat/extra protein but now hearing they have too much fat...

    Help! Egg bound quail?

    Hoping someone can help. I have a tuxedo quail who's been "puffed out" for two days... like she is cold. None of the other 34 quail are doing the same thing. She's also lathargic and not eating. Any suggestions? They are in a 10 by 8 pen and "free range" on the floor on straw.
