Hi, I've had four quail for about 6 months now (2 Japanese and 2 Italian) and about a week ago i found one injured (Italian), it was injured on its left shoulder and to be honest it looked like it had its neck hanging out. I've put some disinfectant on it and put the bird into isolation. Anyway...
Hi, I am getting a breeding trio of pekin bantams soon, and I was wondering that, since pekin come in a variety of colours, should I have all three the same colour or have a mixture. I am looking to breed them (hence getting two hens and a cockerall) and wasn't sure what colour the chicks would...

We had a fox attack a couple nights ago and luckily all my hens survived, but just in case we repaired all the fences and nearly doubled their height (we think he jumped over). We had also heard that cockerels can also protect the hens so we thought it best to get one. We’ve had him two days now...
