    Things you wish you could say

    The instructions say to pump it three times! I can see wanting the extra force to make sure the raccoon is done, though. I don't want to cause any more suffering than I need to.

    What made you happy today?

    I was thinking the big wood pile that is in my yard would be behind a target I set up. It's big enough that I'd have to miss wildly to miss that, and it is big enough that it should absorb any pellets. I have some scrap pieces of composite board that I can pin the cardboard to as well. I've...

    This ought to do it. I'm off to learn how to use it and take care of it now. Much appreciation to the person who sent it to me.

    No raccoons in the greenhouse for two night in a row now.

    Hello! New Member here! need help with one of our lovely coturnix hens who has significant loss of the use of her legs in the past few months :(

    The joint does look a bit swollen. Her nails could use a trim but look normal to me. It's hard to say if it's injury or something else without more information, though. Did the vet say anything else?

    Off Season Ideas

    For coturnix, the off season is when the days start getting shorter than 14 hours. Most of your birds will take a break, though you may continue to get a few eggs during the winter. I get 5-6 dozen eggs per day during high summer, and 3-5 eggs per day during the winter. You can keep them...

    What are the colorings help

    :welcome Do you know what the parents look like? The first one does look like pharaoh, but their colouring can change a lot as they grow, and several colours look similar as chicks. From the feathering, they look like they're only about 3 days old. What are you feeding them?

    I've never been into makeup. I always found it to be so insulting when people told me that I would be really beautiful if I wore makeup. Now, there's nothing wrong with wearing makeup, but there's nothing wrong with not wearing it either. This guy, for example, is an artist!

    That's another problem with AI. People start to depend on it rather than doing any thinking or fact checking and end up with some really awful results. ChatGPT has been known to make things up.

    Quail Keepers Unite! Let’s Talk Tiny But Mighty Birds

    I keep coturnix quail for eggs and meat. I keep button quail as ornamental pets I prefer aviary style setting, but for the coturnix, I have low pens that I keep on fallow garden beds that I move a few times a year. It allows the birds unlimited dirt baths, a lot more space than cages, they...

    NEVER trust the AI overview. I have seen many vague answers and some downright misinformation on those.

    The one that I have is one of those. I bait it with marshmallows so I don't accidentally catch a cat.

    Hello! New Member here! need help with one of our lovely coturnix hens who has significant loss of the use of her legs in the past few months :(

    How old she? What are you feeding her? How much space does she have? How many hiding places does she have? How tall is her pen? Is she eating and drinking normally? Does her poop look normal? Can you post a close up picture of her foot, leg, and joints?
