I'm just shocked that it was kind of sudden. She was ok the first week or so when she was here. Then it seemed like all of a sudden she started becoming really aggressive. Maybe it really is the horomones
You're right, I'm just incredibly upset and frustrated at the situation.
Yes they are
Yeah I'm going to try to rehome her asap. It's incredible how angry that little bird is. She just keeps getting angrier and angrier. I temporarily put them all back together and it was awful. She attacked...
She is female, the owner confirmed they all have been laying eggs. I've isolated her but her behavior is exactly the same. I'm just going to rehome all my quails at the moment. Thanks everyone
We just separated her at the moment. I don't know why she became so aggressive all of a sudden. The previous owner said they were all fine and were laying consistently in the beginning. I guess rehoming her is the only option at the moment
Hello everyone,
I have 5 cute coturnix quails. I've had them for about 3 weeks now. They were adults when I got them and got along fine. However over the three weeks one quail has gone absolute psycho.
Their cage is 2.5x5 ft which is plenty of space I think.
This one crazy quail first started...
Hi everyone! I've been diligently watching the chickens the past few days. I seems that the brown chicken is indeed a Welsummer! We haven't found 2 white eggs ever since! I guess that was the end of the mystery haha
The blue one has clean legs (I think you're talking about the suspected jersey giant). My mom has suspicions that the "jersey giant" is the one laying the spotted eggs because she's the only one that really hangs out under the coop. And the dark brown eggs are always under the coop. The other...
I actually have no idea! I'm new to chickens, I just got them from a feed store. She kind of looks maran ish.
Ahh ok yeah no white earlobes as far as I can tell. It would kind of solve the mystery since Welsummers lay dark brownish eggs. But I have days where I pick up two white eggs, then...
Is it possible that my Brown Leghorn is a Welsummer..? Here's a picture of my brown leghorn. But it doesn't make sense because sometimes we pick up 2 white eggs at a time.
Hey everyone, I have a mystery that needs to be solved.
The Ladies in Question:
1 White Leghorn
1 Brown Leghorn
1 Dark Brahma
1 Jersey Giant
I keep getting some dark brown eggs and I'm not sure who's been laying them! Whoever's been laying them, the shell is getting darker and darker. You...
I'm thinking about getting quails so I started looking for a food that is organic.
Their starter is 28% protein while their grower/Adult is 20%
Should I feed the quails the starter formula their whole life? Or transition? Or mix half and half which will give a protein of 24%?
The cockerel actually doesnt really interact with me at all so I've been leaving him alone the past few weeks. He's very aloof and derpy. Kind of slow honestly. I'm glad I didn't push any type of training on him!
I've been training these little chickens to fly onto my hand. They usually fly up, then i let them onto a perch. The brahma always refuses to get off my hand and just settles down. She then kind of puffs up and kind of dozes off as I pet her. She's so sweet!
The foot bottoms are yellow I believe. I knew she was actually a he! That's a real shame. Hopefully there aren't anymore cockerels...
I'm glad the Brahma is female, shes my favorite!
Hello everyone,
This is my first time owning chickens and it's been quite a journey. I believe these little birds are about 4-6 weeks old. I'm not sure what breed they are. They were bought at a feed store and they're hatchery sexed as females.
Here they are at about 1-2 weeks old
This is...
