    A BYC CHANGE OVER REALITY. All need to read.

    That's not really "Standard" because it depends on the forum.one visits. Every forum one visits, doesn't do the same thing BYC does. Yes, cookies are a standard thing, and generally used to track and even auto logon people the way it is done here. Nothing wrong with that. While you are...

    A BYC CHANGE OVER REALITY. All need to read.

    The fact that you even know that scares me!

    A BYC CHANGE OVER REALITY. All need to read.

    I'm probably the most "frugal" person on the face of the planet, but the changes I asked for don't really cost a dime. It's way less than a cooked chicken from the grocery store and a $1 red box rental. Do the date right and at least ask for the salty shake cheese tasting thing for the...

    A BYC CHANGE OVER REALITY. All need to read.

    I agree 115,000% but your tech guys/gals could release browser inserts (Paste) options with little or no total effect on what you are trying to build. It's a bit of a tweak thing, but thousands of the spelling challenged will thank you.

    Blood in Poop?!? (detailed somewhat)

    Yes, you can't RMB click to correct spelling because this board is new and improved. All they need to do is remove the cross paste block on the site and your firefox/google/other but IE can correct your spelling. All that aside, the best thing I can tell you about worms and quail goes, is to...

    EGG QUESTION

    The Blue color is caused by the blue tent on the back of the egg membrane. If you back light the egg, then it should show up in a pic. Personally not something I'm shooting for, because the eggs are generally lacking in yolk, as well as shell cover.

    Is 22% enough?

    Not sure my friend, but I would pay good money if the spelling correction thing worked like it used to, because I can't spell worth a shoot! There it is

    eggs

    Yes, coturnix are LOoPS (Lovers of Perpetual SAMENESS! Any change can stop them from laying. Sometimes you may need to mix things up, to get things right, but egg loss may follow. I can't really say how long it will last, but it will probably happen. Just ride it out and create a new SAMENESS.

    incubator qeustion

    Yeah, the broody chicken of any weight class is on my list as well. I just forget to mention that sometimes :D It tends to get me in trouble around here sometimes. Not every egg can be hatched under a broody chicken.

    Is 22% enough?

    Quote: This is why most people (Like Me) use an off the shelf game bird ration, rather than trying to mix up a batch of GBS out of meal worms, scratch feed, soybean meal, boiled eggs, cat food, bisquick, and freshly picked buggers. Sometimes you just have to find a good feed store, order the...

    What kind of quail are quite & great layers?

    Coturnix are the hands down best layers! Their quietness is debatable. Dingo, good observation on the (I JUST CRANKED OUT AN EGG) call! Most people just dismiss this, or rarely hear it. It can happen before, during, or several minuets after! A randy hen can get quite vocal if she isn't getting...

    Can I feed them dried mealworms?

    Quote: The Scaled,Gambles,Valley's and even Bobs actually do better on a 20% protein once they are grown, anything over that and it goes directly on the ground This is a bit of an apples and oranges argument. If you have good luck with your current setup then I'm not going to question it...

    Can I feed them dried mealworms?

    Quote: I don't quarrel with you or the facts and figures, but if that analysis is based on weight, then removing water (about 75%) of the weight should send those numbers up by about 75%. This is why I'm not a huge fan of feeding meal worms in general. Also their fat content is way off the...

    eggs

    Quote: X3 I have a few hens that are more prone to lay white eggs than the rest, and the usual cause is some type of stress. Usually weather related stress, but pretty much anything that makes them jumpy. Sorry for the edit. The same things can cause a shell less egg as well. The more I...

    Button quail call question

    Quote: That's what the roos sound like. When I played that video, my noisiest roos had to answer I'm going to have to boomark that one to save time beer sexing buttons. As far as color sexing buttons goes....what ever quaillady says. I'm new to cbbq's. Most of my roos are the red and blue...

    enclosure break! pic added

    Quote: Have you tried finding homes for your males? Like ads on Craigslist or such? It's illegal to just turn them lose in most places, and starving, the elements, and falling prey to something doesn't sound like much of a "freedom". Finding homes for the males is practically impossible...

    Can I feed them dried mealworms?

    Well, I don't know much about blue scale quail, but they would most likely eat dried meal worms. It's an expensive and not so protein laden boost(only about 24% if that is all you feed), but they should eat it. Personally, as long as they are not in egg laying mode, the 22% should be fine. I...

    Hatched my first coturnix - I'm in love

    Congrats on the hatch! Yes, coturnix are generally the calmest of game birds. When you say "I just put all but the two "weakest" in with the button quail for now" you do mean in a brooder setup with at least a 99 deg. F. hot spot? The dark guy is a dark range pattern bird. It's hard to tell...

    Anyone Else Have a Special Needs Bird? *pics*

    Yes, a very touching story! I've had a few birds with special needs that I have taken care of, nursed back to health and such over the years. Truth be told, I would have culled that chick, but as you have aptly demonstrated. My general belief, that a coturnix with one good eye, that can see how...
