    Fertilised egg?

    Thank you for your reply and sorry I’ve taken so long to reply! That is so interesting that hens can produce self fertilised eggs, I was amazed to learn that they could store the semen too. They really are fascinating.

    Any idea on this bantam breed?

    Hi everyone, hope you’re all well 😊 I have some booted bantams, and some that seem to be a cross with a booted bantam as the comb is different. They are the sweetest birds I have ever met, they are so docile and loving. I’m interested in trying to figure out what they are so if anyone...

    My broody quail hatched baby quails, now what? Help please.

    Hi Kabuky, did your bantams help your quail along? And how do you get on hatching quail eggs under broody chickens and bantams? I’m wanting to try it one day with quail eggs under one of my bantams but keep reading how you should keep quail away from the chickens/ bantams as they can catch...

    My broody quail hatched baby quails, now what? Help please.

    I know this is an old post but how did you get on with your baby quails hatching? Have any of the females gone broody since? And if you don’t mind could you put some pics up of your aviary set up as I’m trying to get ideas on what to do for mine, although I only have two young quail at the moment.

    Celadon Quail hatching eggs help

    Thank you Muddy75 and thanks for replying 😊 Regarding the darker one not being feather sexable is that due to them being different variations of Coturnix quail? Ie pharaoh, Italian etc or is that just a colour? And if he is not feather sexable, what indicates to you that he is likely male? In...

    Celadon Quail hatching eggs help

    Thanks for all of your replies and help. That egg was indeed VERY funky 🤢 and most of the others were infertile. But two hatched, lower hatch rate than I’m used to but I did buy them as eating eggs 😂 I have two quail so I’m happy. Any ideas on the genders? From our research we think we have one...

    Lavender Orpington Gender sexing help

    I like this answer 😂 thank you! Also, the fourth pic, top bird- I know the pic and angle are rubbish but would you say cockerel or pullet on that one? No wattles but the tail feathers are throwing me. Thanks SilverBirds.

    Lavender Orpington Gender sexing help

    Hi everyone, What’s your opinion on this Lavender Orpington, Pullet or Cockerel? Initially I thought cockerel but have always held hope, and now I’m thinking maybe it is a pullet. She’s approx 7 weeks old. Her legs are thinner than my other cockerels and facial features not as pink or...

    Orpington Color Genetics...What color Roo?

    Hi, I’m interested in what you ended up doing? I’ve also read that by breeding a lavender with a black will strengthen the feather quality of the lavender as this can diminish over time with the dilute of lavender’s.

    Guess the Orpington chick colors!

    Can’t believe you didn’t get any more comments on this. Your chicks looked beautiful! How did 1 and 4 turn out? Are you still breeding? Also, looks like a lot of lavender chicks?
