Just to be quick and lazy lol does anyone know which of the 4 trays to fill in a 1583 (same as 1588) in order to get the desired 55% humidity for hatching mallards?
My female pintail just got out and flew against a fence then this happened. I think its out of joint, its not broken but it wont fold back, its stiffly sticking out. It might be easy to click it back, i tried but i dont want to wreck it futher so i called a vet. Would anyone know how to fix...
I have my partridge pairs seperate for the breeding season so they dont kill eachother but when can i put them all in one flight pen together. Theres 5 of them. Ive tried it a couple times and theyre nasty to each other but will this just go over after a day or 2, 3? They havent been laying for...
I just bought a pair of snowy mallards for $100 dollars a piece, and now the drake is suddenly lethargic, not moving legs or wings. He had sprained his leg 2 days ago, so I had him separate in a
3 x 3 cage. had him swimming yesterday as well, although he was just floating a bit. Like I said, he...
Just found a male dead. Just like a female yesterday, always healthy and nothing wrong, suddenly dead, with not a feather missing or any peck marks. They are all good with each other (Valley Quail, Gambel Quail, Hungarian Partridge, Lady Amherst pheasants), never any fighting going on, Lady...
Today, I have to display a Science Fair board and my topic is "Does Humidity Affect Hatch Rates." However, I have not come along much info. What I am asking is that if you would please tell me the humidity you used and what the hatch rates or results were. For example: 55% = 87% Hatch Rate...
Hi,
I'm looking for a pair or trio of Lady Amherst pheasants.
They're kind of hard to get here, so I figured I would try on here. I have a big aviary, and want to add to the content of it.
Any offers will be greatly appreciated, and I live near Woodstock, Ontario.
Thanks
Hello everyone,
Ive got 5 Old English Game bantams and the harsh Ontario winter is well on its way. I'm just curious to know if I actually need to lock them up for the winter, or can they just use a little shed for wind/snow protection, and so they can just walk around the yard.
Thanks in advance!
I have some bobwhite quail, and almost every single adult so far went broody. Even the ones I got at sales. each pair has a 8'x 20' aviary, made really natural. they make their own nests, sit on them, hatch them, and take care of them. This year all three out of three adults went broody, last...
I've got three mallard ducks. One duck and two drakes. They're about 4-5 months old and I seen them mating this morning. I guess I have to get rid of one drake, but that's besides the point. Isn't 4-5 months too young? Also, Its October. Weird time of the year. On the picture they're still much...
Hi, I have thirteen 4-5 week old bobwhite quail. Im wondering when they can go outside. during the day it's in the 70-80s, and at night in the 40s. theyre outside now, but I don't know if the nights are too cold. THANKS

Hi, I would like a broody chicken to incubate my eggs. hens are way better than incubators, and you don't put all the work into it, and, the chicks can enjoy having a "mother" for heat instead of a red light. I sometimes use pigeons for quail eggs, which works fine, but they can only take 3-4...
Hi, got 40 bobwhite quail eggs in the incubator, and they'll hatch Monday. tips about brooder space, feed, bedding, and any other thing like that are very much appreciated.
