The birb king's chickens

[The Birb King]

I finally separated Bean and Cinnamon from all the male quail. I just put a smaller cage inside their current enclosure. I'm assuming they will need to stay in here for a couple weeks so that poor Bean can regrow her back feathers.

Well the peafowl eggs were not fertile so I tosses them out today. I'm just a bit annoyed that I need to wait a whole year to get more. Anyway so I decided to do 1 more random batch of eggs this year. 1 ayem cemani egg, 1 olive egger egg, 2 serama eggs, and 6 button quail eggs. Not a huge hatch but I'm exited for the results.

Really sorry the peafowl eggs didn't work out, I knew how much you wanted them!! Glad your hatching out more chicken eggs!

I could probably find more peafowl eggs on ebay, but it would just be too much of a risk this time of year that they are not fertile.

Since I'm going to be showing my birds at some upcoming fairs and shows I got them all blood tested yesterday. It was quite interesting

The Button Quail eggs are already starting to pip. I just set up the brooder so they should hatch by tomorrow or Friday.

6 chicks hatched over all. 3 buttons, 2 Seramas, and one olive egger. Unfortunetly one Serama egg started to hatch, but died before it got out of the egg. At least I got 6 healthy chicks. I would like to get started on the bigger brooder soon since they will outgrow the tank quickly.

This is Roger. He was dropped off by someone who couldn't have roosters. I'm pretty sure he is an Isa Brown. He was supposed to go out back in the barn and free range with the other roosters out there

, but he walked over the bridge, and all the way back up to the house. So now he just lives in the backyard, sleeps In a tree, and walks around and stares at my other chickens in the coop lol.

I just moved the 6 chicks into the much bigger wood brooder. They are growing really fast the button quail already look like mini adults

Can I use your hens/roosters in my project? I'll just need to know breeds, names, and ages.
