    Quail SOS

    Hello, This is my first time hatching out a lot of quail. I had one that fell into its water. The dish the water is in is a very low dish so they don’t drown. But one fell into it and got wet. It was placed in an incubator to warm up again and it seemed to be doing fine until I saw its...

    I have had a very bad run with my poor Cayuga Ducklings, so I want to be sure before giving them anything I'm not certain will help or worse, hurt them. Being in Australia, its incredibly difficult to find any of the specific supplement brands often brought up here for Ducks. So I was hoping for...

    Hello all. I have a 3 month old rooster I hatched from my flock (which is making this even harder for me). He’s a mixture of a lot of things, I really couldn’t tell you what he is specifically. He’s maybe 5 pounds at most. Yesterday, I found him in the corner of the cage by himself with his...

    Something is seriously wrong

    Hello, I am hatching eggs. They were shipped to me and I have a feeling something was wrong because the shipping was delayed and they shipped when it was colder. Not to mention if something says fragile it’s not always handled as such. I made a post a while ago, about how strange the air sacs...
