I was wondering does anyone in Idaho raise bantam Cornish? my family raise these when i was a kid and loved them 20+ years ago. just started raising birds again have few red roads and a easter eggers, but would like to find someone close that has the small Cornish that i might be able to get a trio or some eggs from. We also raise coturnix quail getting bout 30-40 eggs a day that i can help someone out with.

I don't have any bantam cornish, but i may be interested in some of your quail in the spring. I need to diversify my flock.

I raise jumbo brown coturnix quail! I also have snowflake bobwhites. The bobwhites are smaller than the coturnix.

Lucky frickin chicken.

I have decided that poor Sheila the Australorp is either an accident waiting to happen or an extremely lucky chicken. She's the one that I saved as a chick when I found her choking on a mouthful of chick starter. I noticed her getting weak and found a spongey mass of chick starter in her throat. I dug all of it out with a small stick but not before she passed out. She came back around and has been the only chicken that actively tries to get people to pet her and hold her.

Fast forward to yesterday afternoon. I had a bunch of kitchen scraps so I decided to go out there. Sheila didn't come running. I found her under the coop, her feathers frozen to the ground but she was alive. Poor thing, probably sat down there, peed, took a nap, and the weather being really cold it froze. I had to pull her loose and it plucked a few feathers. Her poor feet were frozen too. I thought she would never walk again and we would have to cull her, but when I set her down by the food she was reaching for it, so I took her inside, warmed her feet in the sink, and put her in the nursey pen with my bottle goat. Her feet look a little swollen but she's walking on them and scratching in the straw today! I'm going to let her just stay in there for a while to see if there's any flesh that sloughs off, but I think even if there is, she has enough intact tissue and muscle to heal. Her legs are naturally black so I wouldn't be able to see frostbite.

What part of Idaho are you in? I'd be interested in some chicks if you have any for sale. Or maybe adults...

I'm in Paul. (Burley/Rupert area) I don't have any adults available right now. I do have 4 extra coturnix chicks and another hatch due the first week of February. I have eggs, too.
