    Sounds like how I feel about Oahu. I would be happy to never see that island again.

    Quail pullet egg abnormalities, how long is normal?

    In my experience, celadons in general are more likely to have egg issues. They seem to need more calcium than the others, so I try to make sure that they have oyster or egg shell on the side available all the time.

    Broody Hen

    I wouldn't let her have more than 6-8. She won't be able to cover them well otherwise, and she will try.

    You are so used to information being fed to you in pre-chewed, bite size chunks that you are incapable of learning on your own.

    Runt?

    I have had a couple of accidents when putting eggs into lockdown. I have noticed that eggs that get cracked while in lockdown may hatch, but every single time the chick has been stunted like this. This could be something like that, it could be that this one is not getting as much food as the...

    Mearns Chick Questions

    Pics? I would start with a gentle saline solution rinse to see if that will clear the eye. It may also let you get a better look at what is going on.

    What made you happy today?

    It was getting dark awfully early, and I was hearing distant thunder, so I decided to close up the greenhouse and coop the chickens up early tonight. It was just starting to get nasty when I got back into the house.

    The best water I have ever tasted was from a stream near the top of Cader Idris in Wales. It was fast running, clear, cold, and oh, so good!

    That is certainly not something I wish I could say. On the serious side, do take care of yourself.

    Button Quail Balled up and Seemingly in Pain

    good luck. It is possible that with some nursing and treats she will recover, but it sounds like you are experienced enough to know that it may not. You have done what you can.

    Button Quail Balled up and Seemingly in Pain

    I missed the poop. That means she's not egg bound. In my experience, calcium is critical for buttons more than coturnix, but it varies from individual to individual, and might vary depending on the line. Is a vet an option? I forgot to ask how old she is. If she's over 3 years old, it could...

    Button Quail Balled up and Seemingly in Pain

    Are they getting regular calcium on the side? It sounds like she may be egg bound, in which case, she need treatment ASAP. This would be easier to diagnose if you could tell me if she's laying or at least pooping. Can you post pics? What are you feeding them? If you think she's egg bound...

    Maybe even the train. I think they're louder than a chicken rooster.
