I’d love to add some celadon to my flock, but there are so many options for hatching eggs online! Where did you guys get yours, and what did you think? Thanks!

When is the earliest I can safely move CX chicks outside? I have 9 2-week olds that I'm itching to move into their run, but the weather in my area has been averaging highs in the 50s and lows in the upper 30s. A local farmer told me that they are good down to 30 degrees at 3 weeks of age. Is...

Hello! I've decided to make this thread for quail necropsies to help people recognize common issues in backyard flocks. I'm going to post here in a case study style format, so feel free to follow along! I'll have a guide to a full necropsy within a few weeks (when it's time for my roos to go to...
