Hi, haven't been on in a while but I bring exciting news! One of my coturnix has hatched 8 out 15 eggs, not her own though. Here's the actual parents: Yes, I have valleys and coturnix living together and they get along fine. The valleys stay up high mostly and just think the coturnix are...

I have two vents and two small windows on the coop, but I feel like I need more ventilation for the summer. My main question is has anyone used one of those wind turbine air vents on their coop, the ones you use for attics? I saw some at Lowes and thought it would help a lot with air exchange...

I tried to hatch shipped eggs (all the way from California, I'm in PA) and now I have one survivor left. He's still very young, only a few days old. My question is, what should I put with him when he grows up? I really don't want to try to hatch more eggs, and I can't find these type of quail...

I have a 14 week old buff orpington and she's normally very nice. I usually pick her up all the time without any problems. Well today she decided she didn't want to go into the coop when it got dark, so I picked her up to put her in. She grabbed my lip and twisted it. It didn't bleed, but it...

My quail will be hatching within a week, so I've been working on their cage. I built a 4 foot high structure, one foot off the ground. Is that high enough? I wanted to let them fly around, but I don't want them hitting their heads either. I'm wondering if I have to put foam on the ceiling or...

I just ordered some eggs and have everything set up. I'm not sure what humidity would be best, there's a little bit of a difference of opinions, from what I've seen. Some people keep it very moist, while others do something close to a dry hatch. What worked best for you? Also, will these quail...

It's very strange, we just moved here last June. We lived in the city all of our lives, so we know nothing about septic tanks. Our alarm is going off every once in a while and today, it doesn't want to turn off. Usually, it turns off after a few minutes. We didn't want to call anyone out unless...

My chickens have been wandering more than usual lately. They are going across the road into the neighbor's yard. (I'm more worried about them going on the road tbh) Anyway, we were thinking about making a large fence to contain them, I already have a run, but it's a little on the small side...

I wasn't expecting any to hatch until tomorrow or Wednesday, but I got one at 3 am this morning, chirping like mad. I didn't even have my brooder set up yet! What I'm wondering is why she(hoping it's a girl) hatched so early. I didn't notice much of a temperature spike or anything, though...

I have a huge bag of oyster shell that I use for my chickens. My only coturnix hen will probably start laying soon since I'm keeping her inside at the moment, so I'm wondering if I should offer her some. Can she swallow it as is or do I have to crush it smaller? Thanks in advance!

I would like to buy some female hens, I had a bad hatch and would rather buy adult females instead of hatching eggs. If anyone near me has some available for sale, please reply. We can negotiate on the price. I really appreciate it, thanks.

This is the one quail out of my group of five that has been harassing and making the other ones bleed. I thought this one was a female because I saw spots, but then it started crowing and got very aggressive. The crowing means it's 100% male, right? The spots confused me.

We got four chickens on aug 31 from some people who had the strangest way to identify a rooster. According to them, if you hold them by the feet and they try to lift their head up, it's a rooster. My dad was skeptical from the beginning, but i was hoping they would be alright. Well, I think...
