So my girl sweepea who hatched out around February just laid her first egg, in November for some inexplicable reason. I know sometimes out of season things can be a sign of problems should I be concerned? Or is she just being weird? Shes a bronze breasted turkey as far as I know. one thing...

*looks into the baby pen wondering why i haven't seen pancake in a while* *pancake hiding the 10 eggs shes now sitting on* "these are not the droids you are looking for" i...i dont even know what to think of this duffus anymore. "coturnix quail never incubate eggs" "coturnix quail would...

people have been wanting an update on Pancake and the kids so here we go. one week in and the kids are getting there little wing pin feathers, and momma is still happily brooding them. they learned to scratch and everything so much quicker with her to teach them how its done. i feel like their a...

a fun morning so far. i wake up to mom yelling about the eggs are hatched and her waving her phone and the spy cam app under my nose. we watch them for a minute and then other of the other hens grabbed one and tried to croc thrash it :/ lost one to the them but i got momma and the others in a...

well were on day 9 and shes still doing it guys. pancake looks to be going the whole way with her eggs i did thin the clutch down to 11 eggs. she had 16. not only is she sitting them. our little rooster romeo is being a good dad to. he's been sitting with her regularly. although i haven't seen...

it has happened i went in to check on the girls this afternoon and spotted something strange.... a pancake hmmmm what could be under this incredibly flat birb?? 16??? Jesus girl :/ my coups not that big after getting a drink and a good stretch she was right back on them. a good...

So in think iv finally figured it out. Vanilla bean is blind, or damn close to it. she Had always been the odd one out in the coup nervous and twitchy but really easy to catch. About 2 weeks ago she got herself stuck in the feeder (top fill type) and was there most of the day far as I can...

So uh yeah, this is what I woke up to this morning I dont know what to do. Hopefully shes ****ing with me but she absolutly the kinda person who would do this. I gonna have to put them in quarantine. They've probably got mites and shit I dont want to give my birds. Any ideas of steps i need...

id like to begin this by saying the hen has already been culled to keep her from killing my only roo. i'm tying to understand why she might have suddenly gotten so violent. she lived with four other hens and the roo(6 birds total all coturnix quail) in a 8 by 4 pen with lots of hiding spots...

I'm Not sure what else it could he at this point. Vibe check was limping just a little for almost two weeks. We figured she sprained something and seemed to be walking it off Just fine. But we left for 4 days(came back yesterday) and she can barely put any weight on the foot now! She hobbles few...

Look at what I found today! Should I crack it and see if it contains an equally tiny yoke? Shall I have the tiniest fried egg is history? Clearly someone Is slacking off!!

So we put the chicks out (7was old) in a separated part of the coup so that our very outraged ladies could get used to the concept of them. It's been 2 weeks now and one chicken, star, is still just incoherent with rage at the concept of them. She charges the pen fluffs and screams at them till...

Gem is being a sweetheart. Had to share, who doesnt like a baby pics post? Moments before the glasses get pecked 6/7 weeks old I think?

I went out to deep clean the coup for spring today and after shooing everyone in to their little house i noticed blood spatter on the back of the coup. Not a lot but still major concern it didnt look to fresh so I cleaned and sat there to watch them come put once i moved the board. My little...

So The kiddos were moved out to a blocked off part of the larger coup outside a few days ago. Night temps were in the 60s high 50s when we did it and seemed like they'd been staying that way. But now the weather report is saying night temps in the upper 30s till around the 20th. after that...

So we did our first little field trip out to see the big kids today's. Oddly enough my two adult chickens seem to be scared of the three chicks. I was worried I'd be looking at territorial agression, not 'oh god what is that, keep it away from me!!!!' Agression.

I'd like to start this by saying my spell check insists on changing "molting" to "melting" and this was almost a very strange post indeed So the girls have molted, luckily they seem mostly done at this point, but were having some nasty cold snaps, right now. Daytime temps are still in the 40s...

So my girls started molting about a week and change ago(they look terrible, its hilarious) but they seem to have stopped laying! I havnt gotten more then two or three eggs in over 2 weeks. Is it normal for them to stop laying for a bit during spring molt? Im worried I might have screwed them up...

So I finally got my wood today and started the arduous task of rebuilding my coup. We got our chickens from my aunt originally at the start of the plague. Just two and we threw together a small coup out of stuff we had. Then I later rebuilt the actual house part. Now it's time to build the run...

so i have two adult chickens out in our run. current run is a bit small but im rebuilding the whole thing over the next two weeks so i know itll be plenty big enough for these two plus my three chicks im raising right now. now, last time i tried to introduce new birds to a flock i ended up...
