    It sounds like she's killed many of your birds. She's shown you what she's made of.... time to deal with her.

    I'm not sure what 'chick saver' is... or 'chick electrolytes'..... how do I make those. If they are brands, I'm in the UK. Could be different if you're in USA. Thanks.

    chick only can walk/run backwards

    I'm feeding them a standard chick crumb, and also some loose millet seed, and they have access to some millet spray, but the majority of their food is the chick crumb.

The two chicks are walking and running only in backwards gear and seem unable to walk forwards. They seem a bit distressed. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I took them out of their...

    How do you weigh your quail?

    So far I've used a zip lock plastic bag, I slip them in, zip it up and weight them.They are in there such a short length of time that they have plenty of oxygen. They can still see me, but they really hate me afterwards and now panic when they see me. Not surprising! I've never covered with...

    How to boil and easily peel a Quail Egg

    Stunning before slaughtering

    Sounds like an awful experience. I had a similar thing happen one time. If you're still unsure there is an e-book called How to Cull Quail Humanely , on Amazon by Karen J Puddephatt, who is also author of Urban Quail Keeping.

    What is 'tractoring' quail please?

    I need educating! The title says it all! To me a tractor is a powerful motor vehicle with large rear wheels, used chiefly on farms for hauling equipment and trailers. So I'm not sure how this applies to quail! Can someone explain, with pictures if necessary! Thank you.

    Chick did not grow!

    Mine had developed some feathers but not as fully as the others. It was always a busy chick too. It thought it was going to be one of those small good layers.
