Ive used it for my rabbit and recently transitioned from flakes to it for my chickens. The pellets are much larger than their food. The rabbit literally will eat anything and I've not had an issue with him. I will continue to look out for crop issues but I really think the chickens wont mess...

Wonderful article! I'm definitely going to try this going forward! Also, the picture of them from the back while they're looking out the window is ADORABLE.

This may not help you, but with my quail, I have always done dry hatch and have had great hatch rates. With my seramas, I did the normal wet method and out of 5 eggs, 4 developed, and two hatched successfully. However, seramas have a low hatch rate in general. I am currently incubating duck eggs...

I don't think so, he's not very inquisitive and tries to stay hunkered down. Either way the wire in the picture is big enough that it wouldn't scrape and I have a second hardware cloth on the other side you can't see from pics that is too small to even attempt to stick a head through.

I can't tell if my Coturnix is sick or if he got attacked. I don't see any blood but also, I just looked after them yesterday and he looked fine. If he was sick I'm not sure it would make him look this bad in less than 24 hours. Anyone have any idea?

Ah. Thank you for your review! You just saved me $2k and a lot of anger. Also, you made it look so cute! I love how you painted and decorated it. your chickens are very blessed to have you as their Tender :)

This is amazing!!! I just looked up broody he s because I have one for the first time! I was wondering what to do with them when they hatch. I'd rather keep them with her if possible. Thank you for sharing the video!

this is amazing. thank you!

I was thinking that my quails have been so healthy so maybe i would just continue to give them the supplement indefinitely. I have a whole container and i am only planning on having my dozen or so. Is there harm in it? Can they have 'too much?' (doing the powder mix i got at tsc 1/3 tsp per...

I cannot. This bird likes to sprawl out like I have never seen a live bird do. Everytime he takes a nap and I pass by the cage I think he's dead and then he jumps up and does his bird things. #quaillife 🤣🤣

Good idea!

thank you. yes, i did have pebbles in the small one but thought the guard was sufficient when i had changed them out for the one that came with it. back to the pebble one. I will take it out. they seem to like standing on it. any suggestions on any type of platform i can add to mimic it without...

This was my first time incubating. 12 chicks made it. I have them in the producers pride brooder. I didn't trust the heating plate that it came with so I took it out and put in a heat lamp in one corner and a small heat plate in the opposite one. They were all thriving till yesterday. It was the...

You could try putting the vitamin/electrolytes supplement in the water?

I think they seem happy. Wish it wasn't my first time so I could be more sure 😄
