    Guess what bird carries the largest egg in proportion to their bodies?

    Cat desertion problem

    Hi all, I have a kitteh problem. My cat is a neutered 14 year old who has quite a feisty personality. He's been with me for the past 6 years and until a couple of weeks ago, everything was just fine. But then I moved a bunch of laying quail into the conservatory and at the same time, my...

    Quail Fight Club

    I've unfortunately been sold mixed Coturnix quails of all colors (white, brown, golden) which are almost impossible to sex(I had ordered Goldens...) . I now have Goldens in the brooder, but until they are laying, I have to somehow work with the mixed guys who are not all that friendly or easy to...

    Sodapop Bottle with Clotheshanger Quail Feeder Instructions and Pics

    Here is a free, no waste, no dust quail 2-3 day feeder that feeds 8 birds simultaneously: Take a 2l pop bottle and a Dremel (or other cheap tool, mine is a 'Draper' and cost £20). You can do it with an Exacto knife but the automatic tool is far superior here. Cut the top off at the neck, as...

    Chicken art!

    Found this wonderful piece whilst Stumbling: I'm tempted to make one with quail eggs as an easter decoration -- and I guess someone with a range of birds will have almost an artists' palette of eggshells Hoppelchen

    ASBO Quail

    Had to cull a nasty 5 day old quail -- it was epically aggressive, viciously pecking every other quail it came across every few seconds totally indiscriminately and pursuing them, it pecked one quail's eye out (and still went back for more) and was working busily on another one when I took it...

    Which shipping company is kindest to your package?

    I found this on the net and I thought that all you eggsters here would love this article. Not sure this is the right forum, the chicken guys probably like to read this too, but eh, that's what's moderators are for...

    3 day chick weak with limp wings

    One of my chicks was not in a good shape this morning and getting run over by the others, so I've put him back into the incubator at 35C and 60% humidity so he has a bit of peace. He's not produced feces yet (he ate a little and drank a sip, but not much at all) in the past hour, and he is just...

    A soapdish chick feeder and a birthday hatching

    As soon as my chicks could eat they started to dust bathe in their food bowl and as I looked around for something more sensible to use, I remembered that the bathroom contained this stainless steel soap dish with a cover that has holes in it and it works great. The beer can is on there to...

    Injected water in commercial chickens?

    Maybe I'm imagining things, but, whenever I put a factory chicken into the slowcooker at low for 6 hours and then pull it out, ready to finish it in the oven, there seems to be two patches on either side of the breast where a lot of water accumulates in an unnatural way. When I stab that part...

    Jumbo Coturnix Requirements

    Hi, I am considering to keep jumbo coturnix and I'm new to poultry keeping. Since the jumbos are larger than the regular birds and I don't seem to find much technical information relating to them (but plenty for regular size birds), I'd like to ask the following: Space requirements for every...
