This rooster is very special to me. He was scalped by hens when he was 2 months old. After 2-3 months in isolation and healing he is back up to speed. He has scars on the back of the head and comb. He is very people friendly but may need a little help being introduced to the flock since he lacks...
Hello,

I have a pair of tux buttons, male is dark colored (like a dark Tibetan coturnix color) backing and female is cinnamon colored...
I am curious... I have been trying to find information on temp range outside that coturnix can live in with out any extra heat source.
Does anyone know what range of outside temps they can handle? What temp would you start providing heat at?
We are having a very cold snap and my outdoor...
