    Cockerel can't crow but hen does!?

    Mertyl the hen that crows, hasn't always been with a cockerel. The lady who bred her, explained she crowed, so knew when taking her on that she would. But assumed once with a cockerel she would just refrain from doing so. But didn't, she's a vocal hen. Very loud when she wants to be, hence the...

    Cockerel can't crow but hen does!?

    I have a serama cockerel, over a year old. When he crows he goes through all the motions. But a whisper comes out, like an exhale. His name is Pipsy, we were told by the breeder he never crowed, but honestly thought once home he'd get going. I'm in no way desperate for him to start producing the...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Until these doves, I'd never encountered Kanker, kept birds for years. Laughing doves, diamond doves, chickens, pheasants and several breeds of quail and never EVER had anything like it. I did speak with my vet, who advised not to share undisinfect bowls and feeders from the doves to any of my...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    It is very much buyer beware when it comes to animals. I've met some truly beautiful people through animals, many who I now class as friends. If I get a gut feeling I walk away, I'm usually spot on too. But this lady pulled the wool over my eyes! Big house, husband is an exec, they have...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    I might be barking up the wrong tree here!! A long shot too.... But could it be Kanker???? We were sold White doves, who had Kanker but looked healthy only to go down hill super fast in dahs some hours. Luckily we quarantine, it was heart wrenching, excessive drinking unbelievable amounts...

    This is so so sad! I am SO very sorry for you. Who's dog was it? If not yours have you reported it as it obviously came onto your property?! Luckily ( hoping not to temp fate here ) none of my girls have ever suffered an attack or injury. Although my quail have, some terrible wounds beyond...

    Age of a coturnix quail?

    As above, I can't tell much difference between a mature laying hen to an old hen. My oldest hen ( Luna ) platinum hen died at 5 years old, laid up until about 8 months before I lost her ( although only a couple of times a week ) she looked the same as her daughters who were as young as a year...

    what other birds can be housed with Red Golden Pheasants?

    The bird world never ceases to amaze me! When we first started an aviary we were told not to keep java sparrows with finches, that they would not breed and would kill finch babies ( we haven't had this problem ever ) ours both breed readily. We were told not to mix zebra finches with society...

    what other birds can be housed with Red Golden Pheasants?

    I keep a trio of golden pheasants, adjacent to their flight is my bobwhite flight. My male golden hates the bobs, he will try and go for any bobwhite that passes by!! I'd hate to think what he would do if he could actually get to them. The bobs just ignore him and go about their business...

    HELP!!! Quail orphan!

    I'm open minded about wild animals found very young, being domestic pets. Firstly well done to hubby for saving it. If it has a heat source, food water and a fade home, great!! Try and get a couple more to keep little one company. If raised from a very early age, with the long term plan to keep...

    Albino Japanese quail chick

    Yes still with the younger one, both getting along very well. They are within the brooder inside a clear tank. So the younger one can see the others, but very happy with binos company. Bino can't see the others, or his tank mate. But knows he/she isn't alone, so very much more settled and...

    Albino Japanese quail chick

    Hi, I always use red lights so pleased that's right. I had to separate him/her even with the red light his/her eyes have this reflective look at an angle, it's really hard to explain. The others just peck at his/her eyes non stop! They even caused a little cut on it's beak. I just felt so awful...

    pip ? help

    Great advice from underground chickenman!! Very sound advice. I have helped stragglers that clearly are alive but the membrane has dried hard. Some still struggle and don't make it for what ever reason, some of my best birds have needed help. I have had chicks pip and take well over 24hrs before...

    I did look up powerball after reading your post. I said to my husband maybe we should start playing the lottery!!! It's not ignorance by the way, unless of course your psychic?!! ;D Thanks for responding, naturally thought albino quails were common. Now understand why we couldn't find any easy...
