    Quail breathing and swallowing problems? Photos & Videos included!

    Any idea what's up with my chick?

    Two of my leap day chicks of the same breed (bonus points if you can help identify breed) have a lump under their beaks. This one worse than the other. Could it be genetic or food related? The other chicks have started pecking at it and I'm going to have to separate them. They do get...

    What's Wrong With my Pullets?

    Hello. I have 8 three month old pullets (not sure exactly what breeds yet), and unfortunately, due to untimely issues, I had to keep my pullets with about ten Cornish Cross a bit younger than them. I worried, but they seemed okay for several weeks. Today, though, one of my family members noticed...
