    Show me your Easter Egger eggs!

    I’ve got 4 EE pullets in the brooder now and I’m so excited to see what colors they will lay. Show off your EE eggs so I know what I have to look forward to! Green? Blue? Aqua? Peach? I’m so excited :)

    8 week old chicks

    Purchased both as sexed pullets from the feed store (along with a golden comet and a black sex link, but I’m not wondering about those gals for obvious reasons). I’ve been looking to adopt a rooster around the same age or a little older for them, but I want to make sure neither of these two are...

    Old Coop Rehab

    Hello, all! There is an old (large) chicken coop in our pasture that has been in very poor condition the entire time we’ve lived here. I am starting to rehabilitate it in anticipation of getting some chickens this spring, and would like some advice on the best way(s) to do so. I started with...

    How long do your molts last??

    Seems as though my poor girls have been molting for over a month now... I feel so bad for them. I can tell they're uncomfortable, and I worry that this is what has been contributing to the strife and conflict in my aviary for the past ~6-8 weeks. I know they're molting, because it's the right...

    Might have to cull an aggressive hen...

    So, my falb fee female, Jenny, has been having another bout of aggression the past week (maybe longer) and I'm really sad about it... She's chasing everyone pretty intensely and even pecked one of my pharoahs, Eddie, to the point of bleeding. I separated Jenny last night and gave her a 12-hour...

    "Quaviary" Build

    We finished the aviary (or quaviary :p) last week but I haven't gotten around to making a post about it yet. I wanted to post our process for others who may be interested in building an aviary or natural-style enclosure for their quail, since @le_bwah's posts about their aviary gave me a lot of...

    Problems with shipped quail

    Apologies in advance for the long and emotional post. It's been an incredibly stressful and sad day. We got the aviary finished a couple days ago, and our first 3 quail have been enjoying it immensely. We've had so much fun watching them run around, climb the logs, burrow under them, and roll...

    Our first egg!

    My babies got me a Mother's Day gift :love Our very first egg! I also found a smaller greenish-blue egg with a very soft shell, which I assume is a malformed first attempt, but then I found this hard-shelled beauty! So very exciting! We didn't finish the aviary over the weekend (as originally...

    Aviary questions (foundation leveling and hwc)

    Sorry for the long post! I want to make sure we do this right the first time... We're constructing an outdoor aviary for our coturnix, and have finally just finished weatherproofing all the wood with Timber Pro IWS. We have our blueprint and everything, and we're ready to start building...

    My quail are here and I am SO EXCITED

    There's so much information on this forum, I love it! And these little things are the CUTEST!! :love I love the way they turn into little muffins when they sleep (my fiancé coined the term "quail muffin" and I think it's the perfect terminology. It's like a "cat loaf" but, you know, smaller). As...

    Hello from Petaluma, CA!

    Hi there! I have long been a lover of birds (since I was a little girl) and I've always had a special place in my heart for quail. What's not to love about those little teardrop-shaped characters?? I'd love to have chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, all the birds... but we're renters at the...
