I am fairly new to raising courtnix quail and not having much luck. I am down to my last two, one male and one female. The guy I got them from said they pair up so two should be okay. The female one looks terrible. The male is ripping the female up, so it looks. She had no feathers left on...
I have these 3 girls that I don't know what they are. The only choices that I can come up with from what I raised this year would be black andalusion, b/w/s orpington (don't think they are this) and black minorcas. Any ideas? Thanks.
I have this cute little chicken that looks like a silver pheonix but, I don't have any silver pheonix unless a hatchery slipped something to me. Any ideas what she might be? Thanks.
I have a chick that is about 3 months old that has one eye swollen up quite bad and draining a little. What could cause this and what is the best way to treat? Thanks!
I have lost two birds to this a few months ago and now all the sudden I have two more with the same symptomes. They start to loose the strenght in their legs and it just gets worse and worse until they tip over. The first time around I treated with vit b drops and antibiotic. Didn't help...
Sorry, I am new to guineas! I ordered 4 french guineas from a hatchery and I suppose that I got them. I looked at pics and the keets looked similar to the "chipmonk" look of several chicks I got. I figured that when they started feathering I would know the guineas. Well, they are all 8 weeks...
Can you tell if these are cockrels or pulletts? They are 10 weeks old. #1 is the one with more white-first 2 pics. #2 is the one with more red- last 3 pics. Thanks!!!!
I recieved an order of 33 chicks from mmh on Monday. When I opened the box all but two or three looked dead. On further examination I found several of them to be breathing but in bad shape. I took them home and warmed them, got gro gel into them, massaged the really bad ones and after about...

I just went out to my coop and my 9 month old blr wy. was dead. This is the 3rd "healthy" chicken I have had die in the last 2 months that I have no idea why. I spend more time with my chickens than most people think is normal! Everyday I hold, pet, inspect for nose, eye, strange poop, I...
I have two hova bators. No automatic turners. With one I crack the lid to turn eggs and the temp drops 2 degrees. The other when I crack the lid to turn drops 15 degrees! Way too much for 3 times a day. Any ideas why this might be happening? Am I okay to still try to hatch in it? Please...
I was at IFA and couldn't resist these two feather legged chicks. They were in a variety shipment and I don't know what they are besides that they must be some type of brahma or cochin. Any experts out there? Here are front and side views of both of them. Chick one [/img]

I just have to tell you this story because I think it is awesome. When my chicks arrived in the mail on thursday it was during a snow storm (of coarse!) The postmaster called and I ran over to get my chicks. When we opened the box I had 3 dead ones. He told me not to give up that fast and...
I had 5 healthy ducks. One quit walking, its as if its leggs are too weak. Now today another one is doing the same thing. I have to be doing something wrong for them to be fine and then stop walking. Please if anyone has any ideas let me know. They are 2 weeks old, eating turkey starter...
