My Rhode Island boy falls to the ground, head goes down, and wings go flailing for about 10 seconds, if you can imagine that. They’re full-blown seizures, he’s had them for a year, we are presuming from Mareks. They are controlled with a seizure medication called zonisamide. We do give him CBD...
This is very true! I just lost one of my pearl fee babies to a flush, she died right in front of me😭 she was my favorite because she always came up to me, looking for treats, so super friendly. I am so sad
Thank you for replying, I was hoping to hear from you! Okay….So I have three other girls (in neighboring enclosures) who are laying fine? She’s been dealing with this for three months…ugh… to me it seemed like stress after her sister died and this boy is just overzealous… he cried for over a...
So we hit the one year mark with this guy, can you believe it? He’s so amazing and resilient. He LOVES his girls so much! I will tell you he’s still wobbly and when his skin acts up, which could be an immune thing from the Mareks/ALV, his seizures get worse. So I’ve been using a spray...
(Let me just mention that these TWO are alone in their own enclosure, I have three enclosures stacked in a cabinet, with two other groups in those enclosures just FYI.)
I looked through the forum here, I couldn’t find any information about button quail shell less egg.
We have chickens, so I’ve dealt with it with them. Typically it’s from them getting sick because we have Mareks and ALV. It’s been a three years.
Anyway, my now seven qty button quail are in...
I am inspired by this, as I have garden beds too that we could potentially put a greenhouse over, and rotate.
We’ve got 3 acres in the woods of WNC, and we live in an HOA, so I got to be careful with putting up too many various structures… right now we have a mammoth chicken run that we built...
We’ve had Coturnix quail for a few years, recently hatching in June with a current total of 27 hens/7 males. We keep them for eggs only (haven’t had the proverbial legs for culling yet.) We built a 4x8 aviary attached to our chicken run last year, and they developed ulcerative enteritis killing...
Yes, but he was just born three months ago, why would he molt right away? No one else from his group is. It seems he’s stressed from being separated, but when I gave him some girls today, it didn’t go so well. 😣
I have a three month old Thieving Otter “dark and stormy” Coturnix male quail that was hatched June 15. So when I figured out who were the boys from the hatch, I separated them out and created groups. While he was always very sparky, he did not get along with any other of his male flock mates...
I currently have an overflow of males from my 6/15 hatch, and was wondering if I can put one of the boys with my four 2-year old hens? Has anyone else had success?
The celedon gals are docile, but the jumbos can be mean. They had a male mate from their original group, but he died a few weeks...
