The birb king's chickens

Button quail eggs are starting to pip!

8 new button chicks this morning

Lost a polish and spitzhauben hen recently from unknown cause, probably disease, so that really sucks. Also lost an Ameraucana cockerel to wry neck. Good news is the button quail chicks are about 3 weeks old now and I moved them in with their parents. I also moved the 6 youngest Serama chicks outside, and so far 2 of them have stayed pure white so that's exciting

The weirdest thing just happened today. A few hours ago I cleaned out the right side of the brooder where the button quail are. Then I decided to clean out the left side where the serama chicks were since I recently moved them outside. There wasn't much in there, but suddenly out of the back corner I scooped out a dead button quail chick, like a newborn one! The button quail chicks I recently moved out there are about 3 weeks old now and they were never in that brooder anyway. 4 hatched in July and they all died so it had to be one of them. They were in that big brooder at first, but then I moved all 4 of them into a tote. I wasn't around when they died, but my dad said he only saw 3 dead ones in the tote, the 4th was missing. Well we found it, but how did it get in that other brooder? Also a little disturbing that it was just sitting there for like 2 months and no one even noticed....

Could've a new one hatched then got over there and died of the cold cause after 2 months and it being summer wouldn't it have decomposed partially

I don't think so since I've been collecting the eggs and none have gone broody

Ok that was all I had

I think I'm gonna sell my marans rooster soon and replace him with one of his sons, probably this guy

Pure white serama pullet at about 2 months old. Her brother is starting to get some black spots but she is staying pure white so far. I'm exited to hatch some eggs from her next year and see what genetics she carries.
