Sorry...
I'm a friend of kuntrygirl...
I'm the quail man as most call me around here....St. Landry Parish..LA
the site from Cornell U has most major diseases and multiple pics of each infection...
Every time somebody ask me about a possible problem I always refer them there first as a starting point....
We do have a couple great Avian Vets in South LA also for those with advanced problems....
But as catdaddyfro posted most times culling is the best route...
Again..Sorry for just jumping in....unannounced...
Best of Luck!!!

Ah, don't be sorry. I need good advice! Never encountered anything like this before. Glad to report, though, that my "rear end" sitting chicken has been perfectly healthy and fine today. Good color, no other issues.

Yes, they will get along just fine. I have had up to 30 roosters in one pen and they were just fine.

Geez now wonder it was so cheap. They must have ran over some trees while baling the hay

You can always use the sticks for a fire LOL This person should not be selling hay!!

I would have been suspicious since that's about half the price for good hay around here. I would call this person and let them know what poor quality hay they are selling. They may be selling it, but not harvesting it. Where I buy my hay, one person raises it, another group of guys do the baling and my friend goes and picks up a trailer full for his horses and sells me what I need for my rabbits. It's locally grown, a very good quality of horse feed with Bahaya and Bermuda grasses, but with no sticks for firewood, LOL. I have all the fire wood I can use. Hubby loves using his chainsaw and log splitter. The person you bought the hay from, probably doesn't know and you are doing no one a favor by keeping it to yourself. !!! Let her know and stop hiding under that chair! Wouldn't you like to know, if you were selling what you thought was good hay and it turned out to be CRAP?

I traveled to Breaux Bridge yesterday to pick up a rooster and some eggs. Left witha dozen eggs, two roosters and six chicks now in quarantine. Geez. However, the trip was good for my family. The man had literally THOUSANDS of quail everywhere. All I could do was smile at my hubby's and children's wonderment...never again will they tell me I have TOO MANY CHICKENS!

Good Afternoon, La-yers! It is warming up, so we are in for a few days of rain again. I hate to see the kids shut indoors and not enjoy their time off from school, but being out in this crazy weather has the flu going around these parts of the state, which makes the cold even worse! I don't think I could live up north where the weather is VERY COLD most of the time. It seams like they get the heat just as bad as we do in the south, but the cold a lot worse!

Not sure if it's ok to post this question here.

I live just south of I-10. My barred rock chicks are almost 4 weeks old. Is it ok to put them outside now in the coop and run without a heat lamp? They're in the house with no heat on them now. I've also been letting them out during the day in their run for the past couple of days. Are they feathered enough yet? I see it's supposed to get down in the 30's again next week.


 
I wouldn't leave them in this weather yet without a lamp at 4 weeks. They are still small enough to have a hard time with the cold and wet conditions we've had lately. If it were summer, it would be a different story! I'd keep them in at night for a few more weeks.

Still a little bit early to leave them outside without heat --- I put my month old Wellies outside today w/a heat lamp & tarp to protect them from the north wind, but I brought them back inside at mid-afternoon - it got overcast & I could tell they were chilled -- they will stay in - and - out for the next couple of weeks until they are fully feathered out.
When their little heads are fully feathered out, then I am OK w/them being out in almost any kind of weather -- keeping in mind that we get our worst winter weather in Jan-Feb here - so will protect my young ones!
