Okay... So, I hatched out a bunch of Jumbo Brown Coturnix and Texas A & Ms, as most of you know. Well, they are a little over 2 weeks old now and are almost fully feathered. I have the funniest looking Texas A & M that I wanted to share with you guys. I thought you might get a kick out of...

Hi guys... I just wanted to share my new waterer with you. Let me know what you think. https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=2636-chicken-nipples-anyone Thanks

I just aquired 2 white bearded silkie hens. I wanted to get them a rooster. I found 3 for sale that I was thinking about getting and wanted to know what I would possibly get from their crosses. One is a blue, one is a partridge and one is a buff. Any feed back would be great. Thank you!

Okay, so this is not about my chickens, but I fear that their turn is coming if I don't do something soon... This morning I went out to feed my animals and found all 3 of my bunnies dead. One was almost gone and the other two were killed and buried. Their pen is like the chickens. I surround...

I have 13 Welsummer eggs that are on day 21 with no action at all! I'm biting my nails like crazy over here!!!!! I know that they are a bit slow when it comes to hatching, but this is my second attempt at hatching them. I had 0 hatch last time and I'm SUPER worried!!! Any good vibes you can...

My quail are hatching!!! Well, actually I have 1 that has hatched and there are a ton of pips. I had one that pipped and died, so I upped the humidity in the hopes that it would help keep that from happening again. Keep your fingers crossed for me and any good hatch vibes you can send would...

Good morning everyone! I got a call at 4am from the post office letting me know that my eggs had arrived! I ordered 120 Jumbo (XLD) Brown Coturnix and 120 Texas A & Ms. After going through them all and sight checking them I'm down to 227 eggs. So, do I need to let them rest like Chicken...

So, as some of you read before I have decided to try the quail thing out. I will be raising them for food primarily (no offense to those who have them as pets). I am going to keep 6 sets of breeders from each breed (Texas a&m and jumbo brown). I would like to have a 3 level hutch type cage...

I've decided to try my hand at raising quail. I've seen too many yummy quail recipes on here and now I have to have some!!! Thanks! So, my question is: Does anyone know where I can get about 40 each of Texas A & M eggs and Jumbo Coturnix eggs in or near Arizona? Thanks!!! Chrystal

Hi, Okay, after alot of research, I have decided to take the plunge. My hubby is a "white" meat guy, so I thought the Texas A & M would be good for him and I would like to try the Jumbo Coturnix, since I am a fan of dark meat. So I am looking for about 40 eggs of each. I would like them to be...

I am looking for quality Barred Rock eggs for my inubator. The closer to AZ the better. Please let me know what the price would be shipped to 85122. Thanks!!!

Hi all! Here is my finished incubator... Let me know what you think! https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=2636

Hi guys! It's been a while, but I'm back (for those of you who remember me). I have a new project... I picked up a wine cooler today off of CL for $15! Yes, it still works and I know that may upset a few of you that I am dismantling a perfectly good wine cooler, but 1) I'm mormon and don't...

This is my first silkie chickie. I was just wondering if any of you could tell me what color it will be? Right now it is half blue and half buff. Any ideas??? Here is it's picture:

Okay, I've been reading all you "silkie crazed" people posting about how wonderful silkies are and I just didn't buy it. They are chickens for goodness sake not lap dogs! Well, I happened across a girl that was hatching chicks to help pay down her cell bill to her parents and couldn't resist...

So, I found these shipping crates on Craig's List that are 42" wide x 30" deep x 7' tall for $20 each. Each one already has a full size door on hinges on them. I'm going to buy 2 of them, attach them together and cut out the joining wall. That will make a 2.5' x 7' coop for my 5 brown leghorn...

Hi all... After a little break from the chicken scene I'm back. I cut back on a lot of my animals after moving back up to Mesa. I decided to get rid of my hens in October, because my dogs were eyeballing them and I didn't want to find any casualties. Well, I'm now down to 1 dog and she...

Hi, I have: 3 Partridge Rock pullets 1 Partridge Rock Roo 3 Partridge Cochin pullets 1 Speckled Sussex pullet They are all 12 weeks old and very healthy. I am selling them because we had to move back into the city and I don't have enough space to keep them all. I would like $5 each for...

Well, I had ordered 5 partridge cochins and 5 partridge rocks. When I got to the feed store they also had speckled sussex, delewares and EEs. I just couldn't help myself. Now I have 15 new little babies. I ended up with 4 partridge rocks, 4 partridge cochins, 4 speckled susses, 2 delewares...

So as some of you know... I hatched out some babies last week thru the weekend. Well, I heard a strange noise coming from the brooder that was suspiciously like a squeeky crow. Well, I sat for a few minutes and watched everyone and one of them definatly crowed. I couldn't believe it. I've...
