    dumb question about quail.

    I didn't want to go back into Coturnix keeping, but a cousin of mine offered me an outdoor coop, and 5 birds. I believe one is male.(no calls yet, but there were a few foamy poops in the enclosure) anyway, that's beside the point. my question is, how do I replace the wire floor with something...

    Update on the chickens I hatched March 6th😁😁😁😁

    These are my chicks! Last time I mentioned them, it was hatching day and I had two in the brooder and two in the incubator. Well, my mom convinced me about a day later (day 22- 23 of incubation) that I should open up the eggs incase there were any birds stuck(old offbrand incubator, didn’t turn...

    Just some new birdies 😁

    What is rectangular, reliable, and useful when making friends? AN INCUBATOR!!!! Anyway, just hatched a pair of mixes. I think I have a few more (eggs chirp when picked up) and these two are my first chicks of the year! The black one is named Miles, and the golden one is Prankster. (bonus points...

    I guess I'm a cartoonist? Weird.

    I keep making comics, and people keep saying they like them, so here goes the obligatory BYC release........ and also an important question about this draft. I want my comics to be accessible to a wide audience, with a demographic of tweens, teens, and young adults, but also safe for younger...

    What killed my bluebell?

    This afternoon, I went to let the dog out, and saw white feathers poking out from underneath the grill. Does anyone know what killed my blue egg layer? @The Moonshiner

    Frostbite Question

    My rooster has frostbite. I’m used to big combed breeds, and he’s basically a Link ( basically because he looks like one, but the Plymouth was his dad), but his wattles look a little worse than I’ve seen in past winters (in central Ohio). He’s also shaking his head back and forth, like the back...

    Dimensions/ tips for chicken chair?

    I have a hen who has been having trouble walking. She mostly hops on one leg, and I believe the other is broken. I heard that they will heal themselves, but she’s been laying on her side a lot, and I’m worried it may impact how her leg bones mend. Anyway, she is a hatchery quality black link, so...

    anyone know where to get Sebrights?

    if anyone knows where to find Sebrights, preferably Buff or Silver, I want to know. I am in the Licking/ Coshocton area of Ohio, and I want to know if there is a recommended hatchery/ eBay/ local breeder/ etc., where I can get some chicks for $4 or $5 each.

    this is rather random........... double or single barring?

    I can post a picture later this afternoon. I was wondering how to tell single barring from double, and if I have a rooster that I THINK is RIR x Plymouth Barred, is he single Barred? he should be, but I'm not 100% on his genetics, I just know he has a tiny bit of red leakage on his neck and...

    AITA for not wanting small kids to chase/ handle the chickens?

    So I was at a cookout yesterday, and the kids of a family friend, as well as my little siblings, wanted to play with the chickens. They were chasing the chickens around the yard, cornering them, and picking them up. One of the Rhode Island Red girls seemed very stressed, and had puffed up the...

    anyone selling SILVER or BUFF Sebrights?

    I'm in central Ohio, and the only place that isn't a mail order hatchery only has gold. I plan on buying more chickens in the spring, and was wondering if anyone in the licking/ Coshocton area has Sebrights or Sebright eggs for the colors I want. I will likely be buying between February and May...

    Barring Question

    My rooster is a Plymouth Barred Rock. I was wondering what his chicks would look like, and how many would be Barred, if I crossed him to my hens. these are the breeds I have, and yes, I know Plymouth x Plymouth = Plymouth: Plymouth Barred Rocks and mixes, White Leghorns, Buff Orpingtons, Rhode...

    What incubator do y'all recommend?

    I've been thinking about getting another one. I currently have one that is reliable and predictable, but not very good in the hatch rates or capacity department. I'm looking for something that holds 30 to 50 eggs, has an automatic turner, cost less than $170, and has a usual hatch rate at or...

    What do I feed the bunny????

    My cat caught a bunny, and it seems unhurt somehow. So now instead of letting him eat it, I want to help the bunny. What do wild bunnies eat???? How do I keep the bunny happy as a pet?

    Advice on sick hen?

    So, the matter at hand is Lightning’s eye. It looks like it’s a little swollen, and it’s crusty where the eyelids meet. Her other one is fine, but I haven’t seen her open her sick eye all day. A side question: her wings look a bit small, and seem to be in an awkward position. She’s been like...

    Can ANYONE take my quail????

    I have 5 quails. I live in central Ohio. We would have to meet in licking county. Two female and three male. The roosters keep trying to kill each other. I can’t keep doing this, but I can’t throw Apollo out to be ripped apart by the raccoons and chickens. I just want to get rid of all five. I...

    QUAIL KEEP FIGHTING! I can’t keep them separate with my current setup.

    I already posted about these guys, but my mom just told me that I can’t keep Apollo in a laundry basket, and that I either have to put him in the woods or back in the quail coop. I tried to put him in the woods, but one of my chickens found him and grabbed him by the neck and threw him. So I put...

    Roosters and boy quail available in central Ohio

    I have a few roosters I want to rehome (a Rhode Island Red, a Plymouth Barred Rock, a pair of Maran hybrids, 2 quail roosters) and I need to get rid of them soon, particularly due to fighting in the case of the quail and rough breeding in the case of the Rhode Island. The quails, Rhode Island...

    any chickens ever do something surprising? interesting? funny?

    so recently, I had 2 chickens (one Rhode Island Red, one Australorp) go broody in the same nest. they had one chick, and seemed to take care of it together. unfortunately, a wild fox kept eating my younger birds, so I put Starlight (the only child) in a brooder with 11 other chicks, for safety...
