Just got myself handful of coturnix quail for the very first time.
Right away next day, I noticed that one quail is barely moving and spends its day lying down, she wobbled to get food and water, but plopped down and ate laying down. I looked and found already calluses on her legs, from all that...
Hi!
My hen/rooster (I am unsure of the gender since she is only four months old, but it may be a hen), who is a Silkie-Turken-Showgirl, has been acting rather strange. When I opened up the chickens, I found her laying down in the middle of the coop. She usually sleeps on a roost with another...

They are not bright red like I see in pictures. Does this mean they are not well? They act fine and do not show ant sign they are sick. Maybe just have not matured enough yet? Is there any need to be...

Hi there! I’m from a small town in rural Ontario, but I’m making a trip to the USA in a couple weeks on a vacation.
Whenever I have a mild chicken emergency or illness in my flock, I post it here and get lots of replies, thankfully! Unfortunately, the majority of treatments I’m told about are...
