    Turkey head half color

    Yesterday my broad breasted black tom was fine at about 530, I went inside and when I came back out for evening chores at 730 he was acting listless and "sleepy." We were just about ready to start nursing him back, then he just snapped out of it. After he "woke up" his neck was a bit cocked...

    Easter Egger Chicks - Portland / SW Washington

    I have about 30 of the cutest easter egger chicks. They all come from blue or green eggs, their parents were very well cared for and gorgeous. Can meet within reasonable distance around SW Washington / NW Oregon. They are $5 each but I would gladly make a deal for all of them. I also have...

    Hi all I had this chicken given to me. She is huge! I was thinking either Jersey Giant or White Australorp. Any guesses?

    How many hens per rooster?

    I have space in my current setup for 50 chickens. Currently I have 15 hens and one rooster. The roo is the best boy ever, but last time I added more hens (going from 12 to 15) he couldn't seem to manage that many chickens fighting at one time. I don't really want to add another rooster, but I...

    Trying the natural hatch method

    So I'm going to buy a broody hen in order to try it out as a natural incubator. The seller wanted to make sure if I bought 1 hen it wouldn't be lonely. I have an existing flock but was under the impression that broodys should / could be kept separately. If I purchase 1 broody hen and put it in...

    Darth Vader Button Quail

    Ok I'm a Star Wars nerd and I really want to get a little "Darth Vader" breeding program going. The web resources on buttons are...not great. I've read the books and searched here and still only vaguely know how to get a darth vader. I tried to contact the OP of this link but they shut down...

    Integrating a Salmon Faverolle

    Oh man. Samwell. She is such a handful. We got her 2 weeks ago along with her "sister" she was hatched with (Wyandotte), they were in a large actual farm flock but get along very well. The wyandotte is fully integrated into our backyard flock and is doing just fine. Then there's Sam. The other...

    Solar Powered Coop Light With Timer Build

    So I'm already sick of waking up and lighting my quail manually. I'm not running power out there because I have enough yard tearing up projects on my plate. I was an electronics technician in a former life so I'm building myself a solar powered light with a timer. It's so simple but it's...

    NW Oregon / Portland - Celedon Quail

    I have some Celedon quail that are 6 weeks old. They are Tibetan and Tibetan Tuxedo. Very beautiful birds, my picture taking skills do them no justice. I mostly need them gone but paid wayyyy too much for them to consider giving them away. I am open to almost anything BYC related in trade...

    Quail chick vomited and died

    One of my one week old Texas A&Ms was acting funky so I picked it up to examine. An absolute ton of water came out of it's mouth and it passed away very quickly. After it passed maybe another 1/4 cup of water came out? It was all over the ground. Anybody have any idea what happened? There was no...

    Help with our Blue Laced Red Wyandotte

    Some passing comments on here have already condemned our wyandotte as a roo. Can I get a few more opinions? Pics are not great because we still have no 🌞 from the fires. It's 13 weeks old. Can provide more pics if needed. Thanks so much!

    Scared our Janet is a John

    Our Black Australorp is making some suspiciously crowing like noises, and is a bit different than our other birds. Can anyone lend a hand and help us figure out the sex? It is bigger than the others by quite a bit, currently at 13 weeks. I think it walks very upright compared to the others, and...

    What to do with runts?

    It seems every hatch I have a runt who is very far behind all of their brothers and sisters. My first covey I made the mistake of nursing it back to life every morning and holding it and getting attached and well, now I have a quasi-pet who isn't very well developed. My most recent hatch has...

    Using vinegar when combing coveys

    I have seen and heard some people say that when combining coveys or quail who haven't been kept together, spraying then all lightly with apple cider vinegar will make them all smell the same and "anger and confuse them" so that they won't know who is who. I'm planning on combining two coveys...
