    "Quaviary" Build

    Yes absolutely. It was fairly low on my list anyway, since no other birds are sick, but it’s really nice to have that confirmation.

    We culled poor Jenny on 6/30. She wasn’t improving, and I didn’t want to wait for her quality of life to get even worse. And I wanted to get some answers from the necropsy, in case there’s anything I can do to protect our remaining healthy animals. I figured I’d post the preliminary necropsy...

    I have no idea what caused/is causing it, that’s ideally what the necropsy will tell me :) We use PVC gravity feeders, and I like them just fine, but they can be somewhat difficult to clean. We shortened the pipes to make it easier and fixed the mold issue. I’m not convinced the mold actually...

    I haven’t actually sent out for the necropsy yet… she’s still alive and with us, and she’s actually been pretty stable for the time being 🤞🏻 As long as she has some quality of life we’ll let her stay… she’s still very wobbly and clearly having neuro issues, but I put some fluffy pine shavings...

    Yeah, I’ve wondered if genetics might be part of the reason they haven’t aged well. Pearl was a jumbo pearl and Jenny (the one who’s declining) is a jumbo falb fee. I know genetics selected for certain colors aren’t always the most robust. My jumbo browns are going as strong as ever at the same...

    Unfortunately, now one of my other birds has started developing similar symptoms as poor Pearl did… I changed the feeders, so I know it’s not their food. Still feeding 20% Flock Raiser, as I have been for years. I noticed her moving a bit more slowly than usual a few weeks ago, and now it’s...

    Show me your Easter Egger eggs!

    I’ve got 4 EE pullets in the brooder now and I’m so excited to see what colors they will lay. Show off your EE eggs so I know what I have to look forward to! Green? Blue? Aqua? Peach? I’m so excited :)

    8 week old chicks

    Sweet, in that case I will continue my rooster search! Thanks all

    8 week old chicks

    Purchased both as sexed pullets from the feed store (along with a golden comet and a black sex link, but I’m not wondering about those gals for obvious reasons). I’ve been looking to adopt a rooster around the same age or a little older for them, but I want to make sure neither of these two are...

    Thanks to everyone for your input! I’ve finally finished rehabbing the old chicken coop ☺️ Before and after pics attached

    Thank you! There are poles already for an 8’x20’ run, the wire was just in very bad shape so we removed it. We have foxes and hawks, so we will re-cover it with chicken wire and maybe hardware cloth on the bottom 18”.

    Old Coop Rehab

    Speaking of having removed the old wire from the run… we could use some help deciding what to replace it with. We have an aviary for our quail (on the other side of the property) that’s covered in 1/2” hardware cloth, but considering that stuff is quite expensive, I’m wondering if we can get...

    Sorry, I missed this reply! I did leave the doors open and let it air out for 2 days before adding the rubber mats back in. The flooring isn’t new, it really was just that dirty 😅 There are some rubber mats that go over the floor which I also pressure-washed and left in the sun for 2 days...

    Well, I’m here today with a sad update, and (hopefully) as an educational post for others... My jumbo pearl (creatively named “Pearl”) was culled on Tuesday due to tremors, balance issues, and extreme lethargy. I was unsure what happened to her, and of course worried about infectious causes...

    OK, vinegar and water is a great idea, I use it for cleaning my quail aviary already so I have plenty. And I love the cheap grill brush idea! That will be much easier than the putty knife/sandpaper ideas I was having… I have a few brushes already that can be reappropriated to this job. Thank you!
