    Gold Laced Wyandotte with three weird feathers

    sounds like just a few silly feathers, unless its blocking her vent, or causing any problems it should be fine. Make sure shes being fed good food and its not a nutrient thing. Its best to send photos with this type of question, words don't always describe as needed.

    Chicks not leaving nest with mama hen?

    Nestbox is at ground level right? Was it cooler out or dew on the grass/run? If they felt cold they probably felt as you might on a chilly winter morning. Just want to sleep in! XD I wouldn't worry unless they did it many days in a row. Make sure they have food and water.

    Can quail be with

    buttons are really small and fragile birds, unable to withstand conditions in most outdoor aviaries.

    What color is this chick?

    seeing as single comb is the result of lacking any OTHER combs over top of it, does this let me cross out any pea comb'ed hen on my list? That would also explain the yellow legs, instead of spotted or green like EEs or the roo?

    Do doves come back?

    The "white doves" you refer to are actually NOT doves. They are mislabeled white homing pigeons. This mislabeling is done for wedding releases where the uneducated feel having pigeons at their wedding is gross but doves are "romantic" and all. But labeling these birds as "white doves" when...
