    My bobwhite covey & the coturnix quail with an identity crisis

    Hi all, having been inspired by the wonderful posters here at BYC, I recently started rearing coturnix quails. I know this is going to sound silly but I have been rearing my 7 bobwhite chicks alongside a coturnix quail chick in the same brooder box. That coturnix chick came from the only viable...

    Adding indian runner in a flock with a Rouen and Appleyard drakes?

    In the spring I am thinking of adding a couple of runner females to my flock, but I'm not sure if it's a problem to have Indian runner females in with my production Rouen and Silver Appleyard drakes. I do have 7 females and might get a few more females too. what are your thoughts? Thank you

    Hey y’all I just introduced my two flicks to each other in a plan to mix them, as soon as I did though my Rhode Island red jumped on top of my americana and pulled some feathers, they have been doing this on and off for the last couple of hours.

    Mixing Animals With Chickens

    I think we're going to inherit a bunny and really don't need to add another animal to the chore list. It sounds super lazy but, I'm an out-of-the-box thinker sometimes. Has anyone ever kept a bunny in a chicken coop/run? Ours is pretty big, coop is 12x20, run is 20x35. Im hopping, pun intended...
