Hi! After many years, I no longer have backyard chickens, but instead have Japanese quails and Gouldian finches in a huge backyard avairy. I have lots of questions and need some knowledgeable people to help me!
I found a breeder with very good looking white shamos in the Japan Yahoo auction. It fits a standard to my liking.
Doing a Google search says shipping from Japan to Miami, FL may be from 18-25 days. I know eggs can survive some refrigeration and remain viable, but is the shipping going to screw...
I was wondering if anyone has tried to create a rose comb Japanese bantam. I was thinking about trying to cross a Japanese with a Rosecomb bantam. Would it be possible to cross the two breeds and get a rose or other small comb? Then would I be able to breed out the Rosecomb body attributes in...
I’m getting ready to downsize my Ohiki and American longtail flock. I plan on traveling to Kentucky in April to meet up with some other Ohiki Breeders, and we have tossed around the idea of collectively bringing what birds we each have available and then letting folks know the date and time they...
Hi, a few years ago me and my wife decided to get quail as we have an avid interest in quails and all animals really.
They made amazing companions, so sweet, harmless and therapeutic to be around, they cost barely any money to feed etc, so are perfect all round. Me and my wife built a fantastic...
Hi, everyone! I am new to the forum and I am sorry if I am not familliar with some of the rules. I wanted to ask for advice from more experienced bird keepers, and to be more precise, I am talking about Japanese quail. For around 2 years I've been taking care for two quail hens as pets. About a...
Hi! Selling our mixed breed backyard chicks. The boys are hoping for $5 each, but I’m open to offers. :)
Mixed breeds, good egg layers, not show quality. Our roos are a Cochin, langshan, and Japanese bantam. Our hens are RIR, Black ameracauna, Plymouth Rock, Easter egger, Delaware, and...
1 or 2 started laying 20SEP2019. pick up only. Beautiful culls from a show flock, bit too much white in primaries. Live in rabbit hutch. Will switch to layer feed next week. Not handled much but easy to tame. Males should be brought into your garage or basement during freezing nights or...
The Ohiki are very round and broad most of all at the shoulders. The breed is very proud and elegant a males stand with his breast out and head held high. They look much like a clean short legged long-tailed Cochin bantam. They have willow colored legs and white earlobes and lay eggs of an...
I have a four-week-old rosetta Coturnix quail roo with Celadon (blue egg laying) genes. He is from a breeder that has only birds with the Celadon gene, from two different lines, so he should be homozygous for the gene.
He has just started crowing and producing foam. I have handled him every day...
I got some new Japanese Bantams. I’ve never had this breed in my life. They are black tailed white Japanese Bantams. A woman sold two clutches to me. One hatched on April 2 and the other hatched on March 28. The March’s one are 3 weeks old today. I just want to know if I have boys/girls. It...
We have 6 plus nonmolting phoenix longtail hatching eggs for sale. We will endeavor to send extras if available at the time of shipping. These are from the rooster pictured. He is with 3 cockerel feathered hens of the highest quality. Hens are carrying recessive white. So you will get a...
Hi Guys! I have chickens outside and now I want to have some Japanese quail in the house. The purpose would be for enjoyment and eggs! After much googling and consideration, I plan to get a large enclosure similar to a guinea pig or chinchilla cage for them, about 2'Hx2W'x7'L. It will have a...
Hey everybody,
I ordered 17 straight-run Cochin, Sebright, Japanese, Old English Game bantams a few weeks ago. Im not sure how many are roosters yet but my guess is, there will definitely be multiples.
My question is: Are those breeds pretty aggressive with one another if they live in the...
My chickens have free range in my raspberry patch and I am getting Japanese beetles. The raspberries are just a little to tall for the chickens to reach the Japanese beetles.
First; is there anything besides pyretherin that is safe for chickens? If not I thought about just taking a broom and...
Hi all,
I️ am new to avian incubation and have a few questions. I️ should clarify by saying I️ am incubating Japanese quail eggs for a master’s thesis. The goal is to manipulate a couple variables and determine the lethal thermal tolerance of these little guys and not get them to hatch. I️ have...
G'day all!
Brand new to raising quail but loving it so far!
Grew up on a farm in rural Australia and have my own home now with my wife closer to suburbia, so quail were an obvious choice with the smaller yard. We have a great compact garden with worm farms, veggies and now quail, aiming to be...
