Going through different posts, Marty1876 and others have wanted a new thread to talk quail. I think that's a great idea. To keep things a little more manageable, we'll be talking about cots except when we're not, lol. Basically all info ideas shared here will be about cots unless you...

The one on the right is normal sized cot egg....the one on left OUCH

It's a few days off, so you can start collecting your eggs now. I'm sending some coturnix eggs via an egg train to NW Missouri and am going to set eggs on the 29th. I want to do a "hatch-a-long" with him to compare hatch rates. My quail do not have an artificial light and are on the ground...

First, yes I read the stickies I understand these are kept as a pair only, inside ground bird. That being said...can they live or has anybody tried a multilevel/tiered housing? Kind like they would use for hamsters or gerbils? Also, are they like bob's in fact that more than one female to...

Per a conversation that was started on anther topic thought perhaps we could carry on the conversation here. Ground vs Wire topic will be to list known pros and cons of each, what works and doesn't work for individual hobbyist and breeders alike. This topic is not designed to start arguments or...

It's been raining quite abit here this evening...luckily we put up all the birds up early because we knew it was coming.... Later this evening after dark, and a slow spot during the rain we went around checking on all the critters and these were on the ramp going into the quail house. (the way...

We're finally done with the run! Here is a preview of my 25'x 40' x 6' run. You can see the rest of the updated pics at: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=52686-buckeye-coop Let me know what you'all think

Has anyone seen this? Or know what causes it? My australorp roo, around a year old, has developed this on his left ankle. He doesn't limp, nor does it seem to cause him any problem...it just doesn't look right, and if treatable, wanted to know sooner than later. Both legs for comparison. A...

I finally got my Buckeye chicks moved out of the brooder this weekend into their new coop! Boy are they happy. They're able to run, spread their wings and get to act more like chickens. Here is the link to photos... https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=52686-buckeye-coop It's...
