Hi everyone. Newbie quail owner here. I have a quail that is 8 weeks old (according to the breeder I got her/him from) The feathers on its breast look male but the vent sexing (and I’ve looked about 10 times trying to figure this out) is female. No foam (I’ve pushed all around trying to...

Hey guys! So I have a question about bumblefoot - I originally treated it about 6 weeks ago (dug out the infection, foot soak, polysporin, wrapped the foot for a week etc). Two of my girls had it on both feet. Their feet no longer seem red or swollen, but the scabs are there on 3 of the 4 feet I...

Thanks so much for the reply ! I was able to find some legbar eggs and I hatched them. I have my chicks now. ☺️

Ok thanks !!

Ah makes sense. Thank you so much ! 😊

Ok I found this powder. Do I put it directly on the birds or do I just put in the coop etc? 😊

Thanks so much!! I’ll see what I can find in Canada. We are pretty limited though which makes it difficult.

Hi there - I have one hen that has bascially been without feathers for the past 4 months. It was feather picking. I took care of all the things that could be causing it and rehomed the main culprit but I think it’s just a behaviour they’ve now picked up. Anyway. My husband was cleaning their...

Ya same - I also read that you can get it at the feed stores in the US. So much easier ! Its definitely frustrating when you’re trying to do the right thing and vaccinate but it’s like jumping through fire hoops lol. I’m trying to get people to give me the down low on how they got the vaccine...

That’s basically where I ended up. I found someone to source the vaccine but they don’t have the equipment to keep it longer than like 5 hours. All the vets here don’t have the equipment to keep it either. I got the ILT and Newcastle / bronchitis vaccines from the poultry vet here. But no...

I’m currently looking for the same information. The majority of people on here are from the US and it’s so much easier to find that stuff down there.

I know this thread is old but I’m also trying to find the vaccination. Any luck anyone ?

Hi there ! I bought a not fancy incubator (yosoo is the brand name) and I also got a hygrometer. This is my first hatch. I’ve done a plethora of research but I can’t find anything on if the temps don’t match which one to go with ? My thought is that the incubator is blowing the 99.5 temp at the...

Hi there - I read somewhere that you should give your chickens wormer in their water if they will be living outside. Any input on this one ?

So it sounds like something environmental if they are healthy one minute and dead the next. What are you cleaning your equipment with (brooder and incubator)? Harsh chemicals like bleach or lysol can leave behind chemical residue that can kill the chicks. Is your incubator losing heat or...

So there are quite a few things you need to have/do. I read about 3 books and several articles online on chicken rearing. I was originally interested in having ducks, and most of the care if similar with the exception that ducks are a bit messier from what I read. You NEED to provide them with...

Hi everyone ! I’m looking to add to my flock and I’m debating whether I’m going to hatch my own crested cream legbars or if I’m going to get a ready to lay from my local hatchery. I really want a blue layer. I can’t have any males due to our bylaws here. I don’t think I can get legbars from...

I can answer your first question! Yes you can leave them in a box overnight. Its actually recommended that you let the egg settle for 12-24 hours before putting them in the incubator. The best time to incubate is within 7 days of the eggs being laid for best hatching results. After that your...

Spring time is usually when it picks up to buy chicks. I’m hatching some legbars in the spring if you’re interested.

As long as you have a good secure brooder and a good setup for their food and water as well as a good heat source you’re good! I work full time and have raised day olds. Good check in the morning, then right when you get home and at least one more before bed. Make sure you take time to scoop and...
