    What temperature can chicks be outside w/out heat lamp?

    I have 4 speckled sussex and 1 blue cochin. They will be 4 weeks on Sunday. 2 are mostly feathered and other 3 are about halfway there. In Florida now, the temps are 90/80 during the day and 65/58 at night. Is this too cold at night for them to go outside w/out heat lamp?

    Can I sex my 2.5 week old coturnix? *Pics*

    Thanks everyone! I think watch them in the next few weeks to see if I see changes in the feathers and I'll check out the vent sexing thread. I guess you shouldn't count your roos until they crow huh? (Like not counting your chickens before they hatch) LOL!

    Can I sex my 2.5 week old coturnix? *Pics*

    That's what I was afraid of. I have 10 chicks and there are only 2 or 3 that I feel pretty certain are females. I'll post pics of those too...just to get a 2nd opinion.

    HELP! One chick with a dry partially open eye...how do I help it?

    1 of my 2 day old coturnix quail chicks now has a partially open dry eye. I tried wetting it with a bit of water but it didn't help. Is there an ointment I could put over it to help rewet it but not dry it out? Anything I can do to help him...he is one of my favorites

    How long to keep stones in the red base quail waterer?

    Wondering how old they can be before I take the stones out...I don't want them to drown. Or do I not need them in a quail waterer? Thanks in advance

    Humidity Question in LG **another Q**

    Ok, thanks! Oh and this is for coturnix quail eggs w/ expected hatch date of 16-18 days. It just seemed like alot of wet stuff in there to get the humidity that high. I'm adding water to it 2-3 times a day. What will I do when I start to get pips when the humidity goes below 60%...nothing I...
