I have 24 chicks, rir, cornishx, and a few barnyard mix. There all around 2 weeks old. The temp gets down to low 50s at night. I have a old rabbit cage with solid sides on 3 sides and can put a heat lamp in there with them. The cage has wire mesh bottom and top. Do you think they will be fine or...
The ones free ranging I can see how they had no trace but the ones in cages are the ones that puzzled me. There was nothing at all left in cages. Had a few fetters from my white silkie under it and and a few 100 ft from the cage but that's all. I live in the country with Noone on side of me and...

Thanks or the help. I have one white and it is a male. The golden, none have spots but one I'm pretty sure is a female. The vent is different from all the males and no foam. Is it possible to have no spots and be a female? Would be my luck to have only 4 females out of 16 quail.guess I need to...
I bought 16 baby quail 7 weeks ago. I have white, golden and brown. The dark brown where pretty easy to tell the male and female. Do all females no matter of the color have the spots on the chest? I'm under the impression I have only 4 females and rest males what's the chances of this?
