    Am I overreacting with biosecurity?

    Uh oh, now I look silly. I meant I had gotten 2 pullets. I was annoyed about the situation and hoping for feedback and didn't double check my wording. They're still pullets, unless there's a word for birds that haven't started laying yet, but are outside in the coop and run. But, situation is...

    Am I overreacting with biosecurity?

    Thank you everyone. I was mostly worried that I would be considered a jerk who returns chickens for no reason. I just didn't take pictures to show the person. But, thankfully my two other hens are healthy and happy. I used to foster sick kittens, so I just apply the same procedures to chickens.

    Am I overreacting with biosecurity?

    I got 2 hens from a breeder. They were still on heat, so they stayed indoors for a couple weeks, and then some while the coop was perfected. I wanted a third, so I contacted someone on an online forum website to get another hen. The hen was young, just started laying I believe. She seemed fine...

    How to sell them?

    You might have a local bantam group on Facebook. I would try finding a chicken group on there, if you use it. I've found it to be much more reliable than craigslist. You could also try reaching out to local farms that have pick your own or weekend events, sometimes they have room for unwanted...

    Bantam Bin TSC guess the gender

    I got one lonely bantam from my local Tractor Supply (Don't worry, Frida got 2 pullets shortly after). I am pretty sure on gender, but figured I'd ask the experts. Frida is 5 1/2 weeks old (estimated), and most likely a barred Old English bantam. The Tractor Supply gets the chicks from...

    They all look like girls. I have a little white girl named Opal too! She's a Wyandotte bantam.

    I need advice/opinions on an injured hatchling

    Warning: Graphic descriptions I hatched two quail, fertile egg rate was way low, and they are currently three weeks old. Last week one got injured, she scalped herself somehow. I managed to get the skin back nearly in place and separated her until the wound was better. There were some edges to...

    When do I give up on eggs hatching?

    Thank you. I don't think I'm going to attempt to hatch more. I did have a combo hygrometer and thermometer. I knew that I opened it way too much, but the humidity never went down below 55 when I did so I assumed it wasn't going to kill them. I did however check my thermometer. I had the setup...

    When do I give up on eggs hatching?

    Today is day 22 and I still have several eggs not hatched. I started with 10, 3 hatched over day 18 and 19. One more hatched this morning but he had curly toes. I made him shoes with what I had while I went out and got the proper tape and stiff paper to give him adequate shoes. When I came back...

    Got my eggs from VAILSQUAIL.com

    I also ordered my eggs from Vails Quail. They're also Texas A&M. I'm still impatiently waiting for them to pip. Now I'm really excited because we got our quail on about the same day it seems, so there's hope yet! I'm on day 18 now. Mine traveled from Wisconsin to NJ and as of day 14 I had 10...

    Help Please, sudden dip in incubator temperature on day 13

    There is no thermostat. I'm probably going about this the wrong way, but I looked up some YouTube videos and searched around this website for a incubator setup. It's been super stressful maintaining the proper temp and humidity. Should I forget how stressful this all is, and end up with cute...

    Help Please, sudden dip in incubator temperature on day 13

    I have a homemade styrofoam incubator. So far it has been pretty consistent with temperature, ranging from 99-100 F with minor fluctuations which were corrected. Humidity is around 45 - 50% with the air sac looking fine. Everything was okay until last night. The temperature dipped down to 97 F...
