Broody Quail Agression?
I have a quail hen I am pretty sure is broody. She even rolled another hen's underneath herself. What makes this particularly funny is I don't actually have a rooster at all! The thing is is ever since she went into this state, she's been chasing around her sister and pecking her pretty... -
Trolling Hen!
A few weeks back I picked up a rooster and a hen to join my coop. The person I bought them from had had a clutch of multiple roosters and was actually LOW on hens. We vent sexed them for ID purposes. Since then I've vent sexed my roo multiple times, and I thought I was seeing the raised bump. I... -
What are different sounds your quail make?
One of the interesting consequences of having the quail in my room is that I get to hear all these different sounds they make. Every night one of the hens makes a loud piercing noise, which I'm pretty sure is her "hey I'm fertile sound." They make a lot of soft clucking noises. There is... -
Growing Roo and Handling Training

Rough Month
It's been a really rough month for me and my girls. We had to go through a long move, that both Baba Yaga and Kikimora handled like champs. Their coop got broken in the move so I had to set up a brand new one, but I got it done and set up within a few days of getting here, and in the meantime, I... -
Silkies and Crow Collars

Can Quail Get Arthritis?
I have a lovely Quail hen named Baba Yaga. She came to me from the a Wild Bird Care Center where she was dropped off some time ago after being found wandering in the wild. They estimate that she is between 2 and 3 years of age, and I'm pretty sure she is the layer in my duo. Recently she... -
Hi! I'm AniaOnion
Hello Everyone, I'm AniaOnion or Ania for short lol. If you are wondering why Onion, my first day of kingergarten, the kids at school teased me by saying Onion instead of Ania. I hated it at first, but eventually grew to sort of enjoy the name xD 1) Are you new to chickens / when did you...- AniaOnion
