Hello everyone! I am new to Coturnix quail and have just finished my coop, I have a couple questions.
#1 My coop is 6x8 feet and I want my birds to be comfortable-NOT crammed. How many do you think I can have in this enclosure?
#2 Can I have artificial plants in my coop? I heard they love logs...
Does anyone know why this poo is so watery..? I’ve never seen so much watery poo before in my coop, it’s like a puddle!
Note- my birds have gone through 10
days of corrid and have been de wormed within the past 8 weeks
Hello, I’ve attached pics of the different looking poops I’ve been finding in my coop of 18 birds. I believe the yellow one is coccidiosis so I am treating my whole flock with cord right now. Let me know what you think. I did flash and no flash on a couple.
Hello! In need of some advise. What genders do you think?

Hello! I am in need of dosage for my chickens. My flock is quite the variety in age and size, mostly bantams. I have silkies, polish, bantam cochins, an old English rooster, a bantam bobtail pair, seramas, and 2 bantam chicks- 3 months old. Total of 19. My cochin hen first got a cold with one...
Hello! I have just realized that my flock has a mild case of lice and mites. I see the lice “nits” or egg sacs. I’m new to both of these because I’ve never experienced bugs on my chickens before. I noticed that the lice is worse on my polish & bearded polish. I see the sacs but I barely see any...
My bantam Cochin (about 3-4 months old) has extremely red eyes, it’s really worrying me. Her poops are normal and everything else seems fine but her eyes are so red and she is acting sluggish. Has anyone dealt with this before?
I really need some advise.. my hen hatched this chick from my neighbors chickens. She has all sorts of bantams and regular sizes from Cochins, Polish, Favorelles, Silkies, Americana’s, Easter Eggers D’Uncles, old English, plus more.
I have no idea what this one could be.
Hello everyone. I really need advice. I believe this is either Wry Neck or some type of neurological problem. I have a 9 week old polish. Just started seeing major signs yesterday & today. It won’t let me post videos for some reason on here, but my polish’s head and neck are wiggling around and...
Hello! I am needing some advice.. my bobtail Cochin here has had some horrible looking tail feathers all year! When I first got her, her tail feathers looked like the last picture attached (I found this pic on Google as a reference).
I am not sure what to do at this point, any advice? I want...
Hello! I’m trying to figure out what breeds/genders I have here below, I believe both of these chicks are old English.
Chick #1 - I think it’s a silver duckwing old English bantam.. I heard they can be sexed by color but I’ve never owned old English birds so I am not sure.
Chick #2 - Maybe...
Hello! This chick is 1-2 days old. I noticed it’s feathering looks weird. My other ones don’t look like this... can this one be a frizzle? I don’t know the mom or dad. It is for sure a bantam Cochin.
Hello! I am new to this, just made my account today. 🤗
Can anyone help me figure out the genders of my bantam Cochin chicks? And breeds? I know first one is a golden lace & I am almost positive the others are mottled.
