    I hope this is the right place to post. I tried posting under quail, and I was told to post here instead. Where can I find a companion button quail for my widowed boy? The mate of my button quail Penney died last week, and he's been depressed ever since. I am looking for a female button quail...

    Looking for female button quail

    I am in New Braunfels and am looking for a single female button quail. My female got scared and broke her neck on the inside of their enclosure when a dove flew into my window that is next to their enclosure. My male has been very loudly calling out ever since. The farm where I got her no...

    Sebastopol goose laying full egg and soft egg pair

    Thank you so much. Does oyster shell go bad? I ask this because I've bought multiple bags of it over the years and have yet to have a single bird ever use it. I still give it a try, and they always completely ignore it. I've put it with food, next to food, randomly in a bowl. They just never...

    Sebastopol goose laying full egg and soft egg pair

    Ok, thank you. Can she eat a layer pellet? I also have chickens and quail, and they all eat each other's food. I was worried about my gander eating the layer feed and perhaps getting too much calcium.

    Sebastopol goose laying full egg and soft egg pair

    I have her on Kalmbach 16% Flock Maintainer, and she also grazes during the day as well as snacking on bok choy about once a week. There has been about three days between each good egg, but it's followed by the soft egg. I was wondering if it's because she's sort of new. She laid when really...

    Sebastopol goose laying full egg and soft egg pair

    My goose Babette turns three this week, and she just started laying her first eggs since she was 7 months old. She's so far laid two eggs, but after each regular egg, which look and feel perfect, there's also a shell-less egg. This has happened with both eggs. A perfect egg, and then about 2-3...

    Looking for Button Quail in San Antonio and Austin area

    I have a lone button quail, Penny, who is 3 years old. Her last coturnix companion died night before last, and she's been depressed ever since, understandably. She's never been alone before. I would like to find two other button quail companions for her, but I've only come across coturnix. I'm...

    Free button quail hatching eggs (Palo Alto, CA)

    I don't know how they'd do in shipping, but I'd love some. My Penny's (button quail) companion quail just died (she was a coturnix who hatched with Penny), and it's been a bear trying to find button quail where I live. Coturnix and Bob white are everywhere but no button quail. Please let me...

    King quail/ Button quail needing new homes in Texas

    Hi! I know this is a long shot, but do you still have button quail? I live in New Braunfels, and my button quail's last companion just died. I'm trying to find some to be with her since she's never been alone.

    Barred Owl - Should I worry?

    Celeste, and now Orion, are the only two I've ever encountered. Orion calls, but Celeste has always been quiet. After three years, I only heard her voice for the first time over the weekend when she had flown up into a tree near me as I put up my geese and I didn't know where she was. She then...

    Barred Owl - Should I worry?

    Also, there's a second owl now who also comes close. It called out first and then came down for a chat. I'd never seen this owl before, but s/he definitely seemed familiar with me. I named it Orion. I only had my phone with me, and it was at dusk, so it's not the greatest picture in the world.

    Barred Owl - Should I worry?

    It's 2020, and she still comes back! My male goose doesn't care for her coming down to drink with them, but my girl goose likes her. This is Celeste from today and over the weekend.

    Can soft paws be used on waterfowl?

    They're claw covers. They're silicone covers that are slid onto claws. They're most often used on dogs and cats, but I've also seen them on chickens, bearded lizards, and various other pets.

    Can soft paws be used on waterfowl?

    One of my rouens and two geese claw the dickens out of us. They love being cuddled, but when climbing into a person's lap, walking over legs or hands, or being picked up, these three start kicking and clawing until in their most comfortable position. The other birds don't do this. All of us have...

    Definining Blue, Lavander, Lilac And Cream In Sebastopols.

    I'm still trying to figure out what color my girl is. Would she be considered lavender or lilac? She's a very pale gray.

    What color is my Sebastopol goose?

    I have two Sebastopol geese that are 11 weeks old. I know my boy is a saddleback, but I don't know what my girl is. These are my first geese, I'd always had ducks before. Is she lavender, lilac, buff? I'm still really unfamiliar with colors.

    My pekin broke her leg

    She's only 5. And she isn't letting the leg bother her. The first day she was in visible pain, but now she's like her regular self and takes the pain medication beautifully as needed--she lets me know. She's not a horse with a broken leg.
