I’m so sorry, I got you and @JemimaP mixed up!

 

[Perris]

no worries!
I haven't seen anything from her in a while - she was on the verge of throwing the towel in after a hard start to chicken keeping, sadly

were any BYCers involved in this particular bit of British eccentricity? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...chicken-run-derbyshire-hen-racing-in-pictures Looks like fun!

I have quail chicks I’m new to this it’s my 12year old autistic son who wanted to hatch them, so we have two 4 week old coturnix quails and 1 California and 3 blue scale there 5 days old. We had a massive ordeal with this last hatch only 8/14 eggs were fertile, 2 pipped the wrong end early and died, 2 died about 2 days from hatch day and the last 4 the power went of for hours during hatch. The last 4 were so tired and shrink wrapped after 2 days trying to get out I had to intervene I couldn’t bare the thought of leaving them to die.
So after hours of watching videos and about 10 straight hour of chipping bits of shell of each egg in turns of 5 mins we have a 4 beautiful babies

Congratulations on your 4! That deciding when to intervene sure can be a nail biting time.

Hello, fellow Chicken lovers.

I'm new here (joined last night) and I'm so glad I found this thread (starting to think I was one of only a few handfuls UK goers)

I'm in Somerset

I suppose I'm lucky it's about an hour from me or I'd have all manner animals running around!! The one in my profile is one of my racing pigeons. Here's my fantails.

They have just moved into there new home!
