Thanks

My local quail friends were also baffled by the lack of eggs. I gave 9 of them to a friend with a ground aviary pen. They have a big dust bath. I also gave them a bath with fine bedding chips in case they liked that better. They used both and made happy squeaky noises every time I refilled...

After trying everything to get my coturnix quail to lay eggs, I have given up on the bulk of them and gave them to a friend. These are the three that I have left. They are 8months old. I’m fairly certain they are male, but I have been unsuccessful at vent sexing the quail. Would like to see if...

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check those out.

Hi all! I’ve been out of the chicken game for several years and am ready to jump back in. I decided to start with making my own incubator. I really liked the look of the wine coolers converted to incubators and the practicality of them too. As providence would have it I scored this brand new...

Lorelai and Lucy, my two Black Sexlinks. Lucy is my biggest hen and as cool and gentle as a cucumber. She is the first to go in to roost every night and squawks at the other girls to come in. She moseys about the yard and is very chill. She is usually quiet except that she's my loudest hen...

Our first egg ever from our Red Sexlink Sunshine (the goober in the front). My oldest son was so excited over it. The boys just passed it back and forth looking at it and didn't even want to put it in the fridge. Sunshine laid every day from June 30, for 22 days, skipped one day, and has kept on...

Should I be concerned that my girls got SOAKIN WET during the thunderstorm today? I'm hoping they dry out before bed. If not should I towel/blow dry them? It's not cold here, but they were REALLY wet.

My new preferred method for growing fodder... Throw in yard, cover with bottomless chicken wire brooder cage, water, wait a few days, let chicks loose! They grazed this hefty patch for over a week!

A very wet Sunshine and Cheep. My two RSLs. The sillies were just playing in the rain today.
