Hi everyone! I haven't been on here in a while... First I want to ask for you to lift up a young boy in prayer, named Asher. He was swept into a storm drain after some big storms that hit TN. He is in very critical condition. Also, I had a frustrating situation this afternoon, and it's really...

She started acting lethargic yesterday and died this morning. I saw no discoloration/swelling, no lesions, and no mites/lice. She did have a messy/smelly bum, but nothing super out of the ordinary. I'm assuming she died of natural causes, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything? Are...

Thank you for sharing this! I will keep that in mind:)

Thank you, that puts my mind at ease!

I did consider that for a second, but she's definitely a hen (has been laying eggs for the past few months)😅

I noticed one of my other hens was mounting her, so maybe that is the problem...

On of my hens suddenly has a bare spot on her back. She did lose some of her saddle feathers from a rough rooster a few months ago (and hasn't grown them back yet), who is out of the flock now. I checked her for mites/lice just the other day, and didn't see anything. What could this be?

Thank you! According to the link, she doesn't look like she has mites but I might just go ahead and treat her anyway.

This is a 2.5 year old BO hen. Healthy flock, not seeing signs of mites at night when looking with a flashlight. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

I don't like I'm in South Eastern US. I've seen people selling quail on local groups, but I'm concerned about biosecurity...

I'm looking to buy Jumbo Coturnix quail eggs and I wanted to make sure I'm getting them from a reputable source. Also, unrelated, but how much space per quail when raising them for meat?? Thank you!!

So encouraging! Thank you for sharing!

Good to know! Thank you!

That's a great idea! Thank you so much!

Thanks everyone! We'll have to decide what to do with them... Do you know where I can find out if they're up to breed standard?

Oh no! We just butchered 5 roos the other day and we thought we had gotten rid of any unwanted roosters in the flock😅 What about this one?? He/she is the same age as the one I posted above. I've been so busy, I haven't kept a close eye on either of these two, especially since I wrote them off...

T Thank you! I appreciate it so much!

I was positive this was a hen, but now I'm having second thoughts. "She" is 5 months old. I don't know how to explain it, but "she" just looks different than my previous BO hens ("she" is from different bloodlines, which might be why). By different; taller, more shiny and yellow feathers...
