I got a one year old cockatiel a few days ago from a mildly abusive household (very tiny cage in a very small apartment, was often grabbed or smacked, fed Doritos?) and we have noticed that he has been more lethargic than cockatiels usually are. He does some laps around the house a few times a...
Okay, I really really need help! my baby quail is not doing very good. she's about a week old, and she has been doing great until this morning. this morning she hasnt been able to walk, and she seems exhausted and unresponsive. shes peeping, but only quietly, and whenever she gets moved. she...
Okay, so yesterday I got a fertile turkey egg, and I've been really bored lately with quarantine, so I decided to try and hatch it. I've been thinking about putting in some of my chicken eggs in with it, but I'm not compliantly sure yet. Should I? Any suggestions?
Okay, so yesterday I got a fertilized turkey egg, and right now we're in quarantine for COVID-19, so Im really bored, and I was thinking about trying to hatch it. maybe. I've hatched quail eggs before, so I figured I would give this a try. Any suggestions? and should I? I'm thinking about...
so, I have worked with cockatiels a lot recently, and I just adopted one. but today it started yawning, like, every five to ten seconds. I don't know if I should be concerned or not, but I already am, so any help would be appreciated. she is usually out of her cage during the day, so I don't...
i started volunteering at a bird sanctuary a while ago, and i fell in love with a turkey. it is THE SWEETEST THING. i never knew turkeys could be this friendly. i hope that i might be able to adopt it sometime. it is just so nice. it will walk up to you, and snuggle against you, and it will let...
my cousin and i found a pigeon beside our house. Its wing is hanging down a d dragging, and it has a bunch of feathers torn of with a bit of blood on its shoulder. I cant tell if it is broken, nut i think it is. Any ideas On how to help?
so, one of my hens has a super swollen foot, but it doesn't have bumble foot. i checked. i check every month on them, to make sure all is well. and this happens. one of her feet has bumble foot, but the one that is super swollen has nothing. it is almost the size of a dime. its freaking me out...
hey backyardchickens! so i have a question... are you allowed to keep coturnix quail in Arizona? we are moving there soon and i want to bring some of my birds with me. is it legal to keep them there? my cousin said i could probably sneak them in as they're quail everywhere, but i would prefer to...
so, I just hatched out some of my quails eggs, and out of eleven eggs, I got seven pharaohs, one tuxedo, and.... a golden Italian? where on earth did that come from? my tuxedo and golden Italian came from my only A&M, and the only other quail I have are pharaohs. maybe she has Italian blood...
it is day nineteen and still no pipping, hatching, movement, nothing. I did the float test yesterday, and only one egg out of eleven was infertile. my temps are at 100 degrees, it is nice and humid, and my eggs are are not hatching!! :barnie:rant :he
why?!
I need help. a lot.
i have a quail that has bumped her head, and had gotten a huge scab on it, and she was doing fine. until now (dramatic music). she keeps tilting her head to one side, and she stays like that pretty much all the time. her balance isn't great either. might she have wry neck? i really don,t know...
so, my bird has something up with her. she has a strange sort of puff on her beak in between her nostrils with a small split on it. i have never heard of something like that. she is perky loud and annoying, and seems to be doing fine. i noticed the same thing happening on one of my roos. any...
so i have been avoiding this for some time now, but the subject was finally brought to a head when both a hen and a rooster where attacked by my to other roosters. (with the help of my a&m of course.:rolleyes: ) so now i cant decide which one to eat for dinner, or which to save for breeding. the...
okey, so i woke up this morning... went to go check on my quail... i did a head count, had all seven... and then i saw that one of my quail hadn't moved. annnd.. of course thats when i saw that she had a massive head wound, and that the feathers on one side of her neck where blood stained. i...
so
my coturnix quail are five/six weeks old, and haven't started crowing yet. i'v heard that they will often start to crow about this old, so what up with my roos?
I am a bit worried about my quail. especially my A&M. she keeps on peeping like something is wrong, the way that the chicks do when they are upset. I checked her over and she seems to be fine. she is still a bit on the young side, but there is nothing really to upset her. any input would be...
okay, I am confused. I got seven coturnix quail a while ago as chicks, and now they are four weeks old. I am thinking I might have a pair that are going broody, but they are only four weeks old as previously stated. so I was watching them yesterday, and all the rest of my quail seemed to...
