    Quail advise :)

    How much egg is too much in a day? For reference I’m meaning a quail egg not chicken. Is it okay if I were to feed one quail an egg per day or this that far too much? :)

    Do Austrolorps/Amaracaunas usually have poopy butts?

    We have two Easter egger hens (mix of amaurcana, australorp, and possibly buff orpington) with a lot of fecal matter below their vent (not on). I think their feathers are catching it. Is this normal or something to worry about? Should I trim their butt feathers?
