    Quack or no quack that is the question

    Hello everyone! I have been a follower of BYC for years, but never joined until now! I am new to raising Bobwhite quail- I’m on the west coast, so I have never even seen one in real life. But I think they are gorgeous birds and I wanted to try to raise them. I opted for the Mexican Speckled...

    Feather from 5-week-old

    This might be a really stupid question, but here we go... We just brought our chicks out for their first night in the coop, and we checked this morning and it looks like things had been going great!... Except then I found a small feather of our 5 week GLW hidden in the shavings. The feather...

    One Wing or Two?

    So we've moved our 7-week old chicklets out of the well house into a "halfway house," which is basically a storage shed. This might prove to be a bad plan, we don't know yet. But for now, this is what we have. It's about 4' high and the roof slides back, which we thought would provide daylight...

    "Surprise Chick" Identification Has Me Beat

    Hey all - I have 4 week old chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery. I'm having a hard time identifying the mystery/surprise chick. Maybe someone has seen this breed at 4 weeks and can easily identify it. Rose comb, maybe? Darker, almost greenish shanks. Blackish Fluff and Hocks. Gold Wing Bow...

    Marans or Wyandotte?

    Hi, we have 6 week old pullets. The gold laced wyandotte and the cuckoo marans look very similar. (Is this normal at this age?) We are trying to tell the two apart, and the most distinctive aspect is their chirps. One of them has a softer chirp and calms down readily when held, the other does...

    Worried About my Pheasant Hen~

    I have about a 6 1/2 to 7th month old ring necked pheasant hen who has had issues defecating, as awkward as it is to post. The pheasant, Frisk, first had this issue when she was still a chick but it went away for a while yet now it has sprung back up. Whenever she defecates, she has basically...

    Do my ducks have wet feather?

    I have 2 4 year old Welsh Harlequin Drakes and I sadly lost one to a fox on Sunday night. It was heartbreaking and I feel so sad for the one duck I have left. I can tell he's mourning. Knowing ducks shouldn't be alone I manage to track down two 3 month old welshies to join him. When I got...

    Stupid Newbie Question

    Ok. I am uncertain how to accomplish this. I just last week became the proud parent of 6 GLW pullets- 5 hatched 7/24 and 1 on 8/8... All are acclimating nicely since then. They will eat around my feet when I feed then and don’t race away off to a corner of the coop when I enter. Ok now to my...

    Question about lacing in double laced barnevelders

    I bought some double silver laced barnevelders from someone, and the chicks are now over two months old. The person that I bought them from, said that the sub-adults she had on the side when I went to her house were unrelated to the ones I have now. Their lacing was screwed up, and it was like...
