I bought 2 bobwhite at the feed mill today, they were in a bin of mixed Mexican speckled and snowflake. I liked them because they are dark but I’m not sure what this color would be? I tried to research and the closest I found was Tennessee red but these are more blackish. They almost remind me...

Hello Everyone! I recently hatched a mix of SSC and Pansy Fee from Myshire Farm. They really take care with packaging and have great customer relations. Anyways, I really like the Pansy Fee, from what I can tell I ended up with what looks like 6 Pansy fee hens and about 7 roos. I also had some...

Hi everyone, I finally committed and bought a GQF 1502 this year. It was really close between that and the Dickey model. I plan on starting over with quail this year, and plan on hatching a lot! I bought about 22 doz quail eggs at an auction a couple weeks back. To my surprise there were about...

Hi all, Another rabbit question this time helping with breed ID. I got these bunnies that were all supposed to be litter mates (don't think so..). I just getting back into rabbits and I am not sure which direction I am going in yet. I'm not trying to breed purebreds as I am leaning towards...

Hi all, Getting back into rabbitry after a few years. I’m a little rusty on the sexing them. Not quite sure their age but some shenanigans have been going on and it’s time to separate them. I’m thinking 3 males and 2 females. Please let me know what you think. White - female White- male Grey...

Hi everyone, I'm new to hatching coturnix quail outside of the regular colors like Italian, pharaoh, and a&m. Last night I had some early birds on day 16 and this morning about 2/3 of the eggs have hatched. from what I can tell I can ID 3/6 color varieties. I can ID the pharoah, italian and...

Hey all, I'm having trouble determining the sex of this quail. It doesn't look it's brothers and sisters. I'm leaning towards maleI think. Thanks! The girls: The boys: ?: Looks like a male but didn't get the red head gene maybe? Or a manchurian female? I'm not too savvy on the golden...

Hey everyone, I currently have 2 egg turners that I would like to modify to better accommodate quail eggs. I have not been able to identify the model from what I have researched but I know they're older so idk if there are quail rails that exist for them or not but I haven't found any yet. So...

Over the past 2 weeks I've been noticing my tom is losing feathers on the underside of his breast. I read through a couple threads so I have a few ideas but counted a few out. I inspected him for mites, didn't see any I don't think. Everyone else is fully feathered including the hen so I dint...

Hey everyone, I'm hatching geese eggs for the first time and I read through most of the threads on here about it so I think got most of it down but I still have a couple questions. 1. I’m borrowing an incubator for this season, a Roll-x, and I have seven unknown goose eggs in it but the...

Hey everyone, I bought this poult last year as a buff turkey but I'm not quite sure that's what he really is. I looked through pictures of other heritage breeds and can't really pinpoint what he is, short of being a mutt (a hansome one at that). I'm fairly new to turkeys and haven't bred them...

Hi all, I got 16 quail about a week ago and I've only ever had a few white ones before but they were hatched with pharaoh colored ones so I could easily tell how old they were (plus I also hatched them so I knew how old they were anyway haha). But I'm unsure of the age of these guys since I just...

Hi I was just wondering if anyone could offer some thoughts on gender. I'm pretty sure pic 1 is a female and pic 2,3,4 are males. It's butchering day and I'd just hate to accidentally butcher a future egg layer because of my own rookie skills because I never had goldens before. Thanks! 1 2...

Hi I was wondering what breed of hen this is? Thanks!

I have a pheasant chick that had its head pecked.. I just wanted everyone's opinions whether or not it'll be okay. It's not a bad pecking no blood just feather plucked, not sure if the feathers will grow back either. Thanks!

I bought 10 st. run "specialty breed" "Asian chicks" at tractor supply today. I never heard of the breed "Asian". What are they really? They are black with a faint white underside. They kind of remind me of black sex links but idk. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have 17 keets that hatched around March 29 and I was wondering if I get a few hens outta the batch when will they lay? I read on other threads that they either can take 14-18 weeks or don't lay until the following spring. Since mine will reach 14-18 weeks around August and the...

Hi everyone, I never ordered chicks online before and I was wondering if anyone ever ordered poultry from JM Hatchery located in Lancaster PA. I'm ordering guinea keets which are hatching and shipping the week of April 29th. They will ship on Wednesday the 29th. I'm located in the next county...

Hi I have a chick that just hatched today and he is unable to walk because he sits with his wings stretched out with his feet laying on top of them. When he hatched I noticed blood running down the side of the egg so I'm not sure if it could be responsible for this. I believe it is a leg issue...

Hey all I want to get guinea keets soon and I plan on allowing them to free range when they mature. From what I read they probably won't use the coop or barn I offer them to roost in, but that's okay. I was wondering how far they normally travel when roaming.. They'd have almost 100 acres but I...
