I am offering three cockerels (young roosters) for FREE. Take one or take all. UPDATE: Just dropped everyone off at their new home!

I am offering two Salmon Faverolles cockerel (male) chicks, for free! I hatched them from shipped eggs, on 6/11. Pick up is in SW Washington. Send me a message of you are interested in one or both chicks.

This little guy is about 12 weeks old. He is Tibetan colored with white "whiskers", so is probably actually a tuxedo. He is homozygous for the celadon gene. I'm rehoming him because I've come to the conclusion that I have too few hens (four) and too small of hutch for him to safely stay with my...

I don't want anyone else to get scammed like I did! I tried to purchase hatching eggs via the website for Rocky Hammock Farm. I placed the order online, got a confirmation email, and waited to hear about a ship date, which was supposed to be within seven days. After ten days I sent an email...

I have several varieties of dahlia tubers and potted bearded iris for sale. Neither are bothered by the deer here in Ryderwood, and that's saying something! The irises are well started and ready to plant. A few even have flower stalks started. Below are the varieties I have, a brief description...

I am offering one Bielefelder cockerel for sale. He was hatched on 2/21/20. This boy is beautifully colored with a sweet personality. He spends time around me, eats out of my hand, and when he is feeling particularly friendly he lets me pet him. The egg came from Omega Hills Farm and hatched...

I am offering one rare Bielefelder cockerel chick for sale. He was hatched on 2/21/20 and has had daily handling. The eggs came from Omega Hills Farm and hatched without assistance. Omega Hills Farm's flock has bloodlines from all three of the imports that Greenfire Farms did. Bielefelders are...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask a color question, but seemed the best fit. I have a black silkie cockerel that has grown in neck feathers with silver tips. Is there a technical term for this coloration? Would it be considered ticking?

I am offering two Bielefelder cockerel chicks for sale. They were hatched on 2/21/20. The eggs came from Omega Hills Farm. Their flock has bloodlines from all three of the imports that Greenfire Farms did. Bielefelders are an excellent dual-purpose breed developed in Germany. Often referred to...

For those that use the Nurture Right 360, how has it faired in cooler rooms? The instructions say to use in a room that is 74-80°F, and never below 72°F, but I don't know anyone that keeps their house that warm, especially overnight, and we certainly don't.

Has anyone noted a decrease in their coturnix roo's sex drive/ behavior after the first breeding season? I ask because I have a roo that I had to separate from the five hens he was with because he was always chasing and mounting them, pulling feathers, and causing injuries. I want to know if he...

Anybody else have or have seen a Pharaoh-colored Coturnix with a random white patch of feathers? I have a hen with a small patch of white feathers on her chest. Is this similar to a tuxedo? Haven't seen a tuxedo with Pharoah as the base color before.

I have a four-week-old rosetta Coturnix quail roo with Celadon (blue egg laying) genes. He is from a breeder that has only birds with the Celadon gene, from two different lines, so he should be homozygous for the gene. He has just started crowing and producing foam. I have handled him every day...

My feathery potatoes started laying today! Glamour shot: And brought them all in for "fun time" in a biiiig sand bath LOL This shot looks like a super hero poster: And in addition to the eggs I got that I set today, I also brought home these three spuds: It's been an exciting day. And...

I have a Coturnix roo that is pretty tame and I bring him inside the house regularly for snuggles. :loveA couple times now he has crowed when I am carrying him back to the hutch. Anyone else have a roo that does this? Any thoughts why he is choosing that time to crow? It's pretty darn cute.

Have two out of my bunch that I am not positive on the sex. These are 5 week old Coturnix. Also would like input on what to label them as far as color. #1 Pretty sure it's a hen #2 Leaning towards roo

My mother has a chicken that has had issues with gasping for about a year now. The chicken is four years old I think this year. Last year we believe she got stung by a wasp she ate, because she suddenly started breathing with her mouth open and occasionally shaking her head and making a...

Just a late night philosophical question: do you think quail miss flying when we clip their wings or house them with a low ceiling? I know we do those things for their safety, so don't take this as an argument against those practices.

By "unicorn" plant I mean one that seems near impossible to find. Hoping one of you guys might have it or know someone that does. I am looking for a certain variety of columbine called Aquilegia chrysantha ‘Flore Pleno’. Would love to get seeds or a division. Below is the pic that Annie's...

I have searched through the forums here and haven't found anything that really describes my situation. I know quail are territorial. But from everything I have read on here, it's usually seen with new birds or between roos. I have a 3 week old silver that is causing havoc in the brooder. I...
