there is only one rooster and one female to this enclosure.

They are Bob White quail. In seeing action, I mean they were mating . She dug a nest out and laid an egg in the nest and is sitting on it. I have not removed it yet. But after reading lots of material. I am seeing that it's not usual for them to do it on their own. So thinking we may just keep...

we are very new to the quail raising.. She just started laying eggs, We ate a couple.. Yummy. last night I seen some action going on in the quail pen. I am wondering, do we continue to take the egg and eat it, or let her sit on it. or what?? Not sure what I am doing at this point.

out of curiosity , what happens if you eat an egg that has not had the wait period?

Thanks. I have had them on Teramycin Spelling.. For several weeks. Stopped it about 5 days ago. . was not sure if we could eat this egg. and future eggs. I wll def look for some pro biotics. I did give them yogurt once, They loved it.

We have been dealing w/ sickness in our Flock from the Get Go. We had 7. Now we are down to only 3. They seem fine, The suspected carrier has never been ill. just a few sneezes here and there. She has started laying eggs now that the Flock has greatly decreased. Just wondering if it is safe to...

Hi.. I posted a couple weeks ago. My chickens are showing all the signs of MG. We have lost 2 of our 6 chickens. One just yesterday. My Rooster is still sick, but looks like he may be improving some. Not sure yet. I am putting antibiotics in their water. my question is . I really hate to kill...

Thank You. Was not sure if the whole Flock will now have it or only the ones Sick. Just checked on them, The Hen needs to be put out of her misery, she is bad, The Rooster does not seem to be making much progress. I have had them on Antibiotics for about 6 days now. I think it may be too late...

Hi. I am new to the site. Still Learning how to care for our new Chickens. Here is a little back story. We bought two chickens from the Flea market about 3 months ago. After the first Month, one was sick with matted eyes and lethargic. Then Died. The other chicken never got sick. About two...

THanks.. I believe you all are right. Will have to keep them forever separated. I Love my huskies, so I will just have to keep them away. Do not want to risk it.

Great Advice. We will leash her and see how she responds with them out and I will treat her for ignoring them. I am afraid she may just always look at them as Prey, But it is worth trying.. thanks again.

We have not had our chickens for very long, For now we cannot let all the animals mingle together. We have two large Huskies and one Poodle/pug. Our Little Dog loves to go with us to feed them, My Male Husky, does not seem amused by the chickens at all. Only if Our Female Husky is out will they...

Thank You. I will take your advice. Can I get crushed oyster shells at the Feed and Seed store?? I did give them some Pumpkin seeds and pulp this morning, I was reading it was very good for them and a natural de wormer? I dont know, I had some, They seem to LOVE it..

We have only had them for a month,maybe little less. We just introduced our Other chicken to them, about a week and half ago. They seem to have worked their pecking order back and seem very content. I do believe they are young.

Thank You.. They are very majestic looking, We aquired them from a man who trains horses, he said they helped to keep the horses used to distractions, would even perch on the horses back. He had an Irish accent, so not sure where he got the hens. We will look into adding more. we have only the...
