Sorry about the typo in the label.

So our Muscovy eggs have arrived. 8 orbs of hope. our city says we can’t raise chickens after all, but mussies are allowed. ( when asked about quail they stated,”we don’t do quail. Their ok.” that was good as we had 94 chicks in brooder🤣in the house🤣🤣) We looked around town, but no hatching...

I have. I never win auctions. I only need 5-6 as I only want 2-3 birds.

Rotten city.

City says no chicken hens. I need some Muscovy hatching eggs. Any around in the Central Valley of California?

We find just moving them to one end in the brooder while cleaning it is like hoarding squirrel 🐿, but it’s how we do it too.

Oh yes. The second set of eggs have hatched too. After no turning, then turning, then not turning( we didn’t set the turner/lid properly after candling🥺) then turning again, humidity too high then too low( see above turning reason,) then going into lockdown.dreading that we had killed them all...

So we ended up with 41 hatched. One had a bad foot that didn’t repair with the “snowshoe” then damaged its knee from the strain of trying to walk on a partially paralyzed foo. She can’t walk at all, so is happily being a pet in a finch cage in our daughters room. 19 went to a friends who bought...

We hatched out 41. 5 had albinism or part. They died. 36 doing great. 17 are happily growing and doing their quail thing in the brooder. One can’t use its legs, so it’s living in a finch cage in my daughters room . They are both loving this arrangement. The other 19 are at our friends home. we...

I’ve hatched chicken and quail. Not all of them wiggle.

I use a reptile heat element in a large heat lamp reflector. I find my quail to be real heat lovers. They like 104f for the first few days, then I gradually reduce it down to 94, then only turn on often enough to keep it between 84 and 87 by end week 2. We are on our second hatch of coturnix...

Funny. At least now you know how to sex a white male at 4 weeks😉

Thanks. He/she is a family favorite. I hope it’s a male, because he has such a great demeanor and temper. I was hoping for a Tibetan In our mix.

I am new, so I’m still learning the colors. I have looked at every picture with color posted that I could find. We have a dark chocolate chick, with black beak with super dark feet, except the tips of the middle toes, which have pink on them. It has rings of yellow around the eyes And on his...

The chicks that are reddish and brown did get picked on at first, but now they all get along. The well behaved ones get more attention, and ours seem to be attention hounds😆.they have started running over the runts, so we may put them into the second brooder today. No overt acts of aggression...

Our 4 all passed when the yolk sac depleted Early in day 5. they hard different levels of albinism, only one was full with pale white down and pink eyes and pupils. None got any feather development. It was hard, as the6 were so spunky and engaging. Now we will be more careful when they hatch. we...

She just passed away. She only ate and drank minimal amounts. I think her heart couldn’t support her. We also lost one of the partial albinos this morning as well. Their yolk sacks had obviously run out. There are 2 more with red pupils, but they seem to be eating well Though they are tiny. We...

If you guarantee no roosters, you’d make a fortune supplying to city dwellers.

I know this is an old post, but we just got a pic, so if they are still on here they can see it. The bird is 2 days old in pic.
