    Silver Genetics

    I have 5, 4 week old silver quail. They are wild type pattern. So if I'm understanding correctly they would be SI/si for the silver gene?

    Quaker with allergies

    Anyone have an idea how to help a bird with allergies. He sneezes a few times a day and occasionally his nares make a whistling sound. He has no discharge and has been taken to a vet. The vet said his lungs are clear and he looks fine. So I figure it's allergies. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I'm from Eastern OK. I've grown up around farm animals my whole life, but just recently built my own chicken coop. I have 30 Buff orpington pullets at around 15 weeks old. So far they are great.
