    For how long can I feed my chicks with only scrambled eggs?

    Unfortunately Amazon is not in my country, so that's out of the question. I'll contact the store tomorrow. Thank you! I never thought of mixing those myself, that's a great idea!

    For how long can I feed my chicks with only scrambled eggs?

    The store where I usually buy quail starter has stopped selling it for some reason. So I ordered from another place, but the shipping takes more time than I expected. I came home from work today and found two celadon chicks hatched and more eggs piped. I will call there tomorrow to sort things...

    Egg song

    I would love to hear that annoying screeching sound as I've never heard it from my quails 😅

    Egg song

    My child named also one of my quails Sandy. She's from my first hatch and one of his favourites. But talking about the egg song, I find quails much more pleasant than chicken. I haven't encountered a screeching quail so far. I liked how someone once described this sound in an old post here (that...

    Apparent beak decay (?) in turkey poults

    I've never seen anything like that. I asked chatGPT and it suggested some kind of chemical burn? Could it be a possibility? Some people add ACV in chicks drinking water and too strong solution could damage the beak. Or maybe you use strong chemicals for cleaning the brooder? It would be...

    New Celedons are finally laying eggs

    I love the colour! I bought today some celadon eggs myself and put into the incubator. Now let the waiting game begin...

    ‘Chocolate’ Coturnix!

    They do look lovely. I have similar and just as in your case, the boys were more pronounced in their colours. Too bad I didn't get any pictures of them before culling. But here's some pictures of one of my girls.

    Boys or Girls?

    Those rusty colored wing bars apply to all species of chicken? Females don't have those? Sorry for the stupid question, but I've never heard of determining gender looking for those signs.

    Boys or Girls?

    I was afraid so. Thank you!

    Boys or Girls?

    They are 6 weeks old, barnyard mix. First one has strange comb and I have no idea how to determine the gender of that one. Second one has largest comb out of these three, but I have a cockerel with a way larger comb, so still clinging to a (false)hope it's a pullet. Third one I could bet my...

    No air cell?

    I've had a couple of completely dark eggs prior lockdown (my own not shipped). Not sure what causes it. Usually I draw a big ? on the egg that I'm not completely sure of and leave them in just in case. I've gotten healthy chicks out of at least two ? Eggs.

    Adult chicken with a splay leg?

    Thank you for your advice! Those articles only confirmed my biggest fear that I might be too late to fix things. I'll give it another try as I really want it to have a normal life among the other chickens. I don't have much hope for the success but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    Adult chicken with a splay leg?

    I tried to google but didn't have much luck so I decided to post here to ask from experienced chicken keepers. I have a two week old chick who had a lot of complications while hatching and I ended up helping it out of the egg. I managed to correct its curled toes but soon it developed a splay...

    Turned out hips

    I'm no expert of what might be the cause. I had a chick earlier this year who had one hip like this. Since he showed no signs of having pain and he had a good appetite, I decided to let him grow up and cull then for food. He was also moving slightly wobbly and sideways. Later when I processed...

    Introducing new quail to existing flock

    I've had success with adding 4-5 week old chicks to the flock. Not sure if my quails are extremely chill but I've not encountered many problems. I've culled my jerk-roosters usually when they're about the size of a nice meal and left the nice ones for reproduction.

    Quail panting, one wing drooped, lethargic.

    I separated her for a few days. On the third day her wing was still drooped but she wasn't panting as much as before so I decided to put her back with the others. She's doing fine now. I made my research when I started with quails about common illnesses, injuries etc. I was prepared for bumble...

    Research You Ignored And Wished You Hadn't

    I learned that chicken math is a real thing. This spring I hatched out another patch of quails and decided to throw in a couple of chicken eggs. Just for fun. I didn't actually think those would hatch as the eggs were at least couple of weeks old and kept it fridge. But all three started to...

    Quail panting, one wing drooped, lethargic.

    It's new morning and things are pretty much the same. Eating, drinking, pooping but wing still drooped and panting. I decided to look that wing again and noticed a lump on one joint, the last one just before the tip of the wing where the flight feathers come in. It's not visible, but when I...

    Quail panting, one wing drooped, lethargic.

    She perked up a bit, eating, drinking, pooping (the last one looks normal). She's still weak and staggers around with her drooping wing, still panting a lot. I guess I have to wait until the morning and hope for the best. I'll make boiled eggs for all my quails. Thank you!

    Quail panting, one wing drooped, lethargic.

    Thanks you for reply. I gave her some nutri-drench. I just noticed the nutrition difference between the regular quail layer feed I usually order and the one I had to order this month as my regular one was out of stock. It's protein percentage is way lower (17% what they've gotten this month vs...
