We are having our annual broody mama hatch off. Over 50 eggs being sat on right now by 6 mamas all over the property 🤣 literally like a box of chocolates with crazy mixes of breeds. And would you look at this! A speckled Sussex Roo x a red turken - hatched by a mottled Java 🤔 let's see...

After nearly 2 decades of poultry raising, I finally bit the bullet and ordered some ducklings. The idea of duck eggs is just too alluring. Although I've researched everything under the sun, I do have one question for you quackers.... I've always kept a male - roosters, toms, cocks, etc -...

It has been months since I have been on here, and I had countless messages asking where I was. Figured I post here because it was most fitting. We went on a 2 day trip and had a relative come over and tend to the chickens, quails, goats, pigs, etc for the time we were gone. We avoid trips for...

Like it or not, egg candling is important - and super exciting! (Important to note that I have absolutely zero affiliation of any kind with this product or company - just an extreme hatching enthusiast 😉) I recently purchased the Incubright candling flashlight and it is a game changer -...

Alright - we just concluded our first quail hatch. 18 celadon eggs set, 15 fertile, 13 hatched. One had a hernia and had to be euthanized, but 12 healthy hatches from shipped eggs. We are now going for the big gorilla. I am looking for any pointers or tips anyone has on very large hatches...

Hello BYC friends I know it is still pretty early, well really early, but I was hoping you could tell me your thoughts. I thought pullet, but the comb really has me stumped. I know there are great guessers here on BYC.

Think im okay to help this guy out? He has been stuck in there for about 15 mins.

Hello all I've got some celadons popping it! So far so good, but I have one who hatched last night and 10 of the other 14 are all at various stages of pipping and zipping Rule of thumb for chicken chicks is they can sustain themselves for 72 hours after hatch before they must be removed...

Just a chicken or egg question here. Black to black produces black. In order to hatch blue, you need a blue and a black. Edit: I'm aware other combinations of BBS can make blue, but it wouldn't be as dramatic or possibly poetic if I included that... which am unfortunately doing now. So if...

Alright folks, we've got celadons wiggling in the eggs. No pips yet, but I feel like they are going to be next to impossible to see with the spots on the eggs. Also wanted ti share a pic of my quail aviary that I should have finished up this weekend. I did have a question - I want to build a...

Ok - I got into an Emu YouTube/researching spiral of doom last night. And as I wake up this morning, I'm trying to conceive a plan to get a few here. I have a few questions, and hoping you all may have some time to answer them Step one: somehow convince wife. - Level of difficulty; 99 of 100...

Alright everyone, I wanted to pose a few questions to the group here as my chicks keep getting bigger and I am trying to not get caught with my pants when it comes time to butcher roosters... if you have some time and feel like responding, I'd love to hear it all (Graphic bird butchering...

Tough breed to find. Obviously I know they are very tall, but does anyone have any experience with them?!?!

I wanted to throw this up here for anyone who, like me, a few months ago wandered to this forum and made a knee jerk decision that I needed to add some quails to the "farm" here. I made an assumption "I've raised chickens for years! This should be a walk in the park." ....... wrong. In most...

@007Sean I was hoping you could use some Of those Jedi tricks I saw the other day and help me figure out some of the varieties I have here. If found a few, but not certain on others.

Ok y'all I know what the mix on this chick is, because we have been trying to achieve it for some time - but have failed for one reason or another. But, since I consider a lot of BYC folks in the gender forum to be friends, I'd like to see if you have guesses as to what this chick is in...

Hello my quail friends. My celadon eggs are cooking along - however, the more I look around he more I think what I have may have a celadon gene, but aren't true celadon because they aren't very dark blue. Anyway, I have a hand held candler (torch) that is sized for chicken eggs. Any links or...

See the attached photo. Our local feedstore just got word these medicines will be no longer available as of June 11th (if your feed store has them on hand, they can be sold until gone) There are some heavy hitters, so stock up.

Ok - I had mentioned previously that I was going to ferment the quail started and I have been, and wanted to share back. Since this is my first time with quail chicks, I don't have any kind of a "baseline", but I have ran into a few snags. First and foremost, they really like it. They gobble...

I was recently talking to some of you fine quail folks and we were discussing shipping quail chicks and I had said I had a shipment scheduled from Hoovers for 30 various cortunix, and I would update you all on that shipment. I then toted on USPS and how they have always done a great job with my...
