Not all adults or even hens love the appearance of these little micro quail. Block the offending hen from the area. I made a mistake on introduction a while back assuming that "if the big ones can't get to the little ones, it might be OK to let little ones enter the adult part of the cage...

If the parents don't want anything to do with their kids, you can separate them immediately as long as you have a brooder (cage) set up for them with a heat lamp. …and a suicide proof water supply. I just ran in to the case where one of the hens wants nothing to do with chicks, but the dad is...

OK. I've got my Amazon box (plastic lined) Habitrail Quail-i-torium going along and in my latest batch of quail-lings, I've got mid-40s of week+ old flappy buggers with their flying feathers coming in right now and they are starting to evade the heat lamp. It's at this time when I am moving my...

Ohhh, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's heartbreaking when an animal dies during shipping. FWIW, I've had eggs shipped to me 3 times from SWGB when I'm in the US and they all arrived on time. I'm surprised (and saddened) that there was a delay in shipping live animals from Arizona to...

You can go out for a walk with them at that place. I still need to get a recent ostrich photo. At 6 feet, she's a little of a runt as far as they go but still more of a handful than the quail are.

For my quail chicks, I threw some uncooked rice in a coffee blender. If you have any dried mealworms, you can add them too. Uncooked rice is just carbs and almost no protein but that shouldn't be a problem for a day. I haven't had problems with that in a pinch. Some grains I had that I...

Isolate her in her own space. It's easier to evaluate her poop that way.

I had a batch from Southwest Gamebirds and my two tux hens are popping out two every day so it was a little challenge to sort out how I'd run the incubator and determine the point when (any) eggs had gone bad. I figured I'd just keep it running and use the day# of the incubation period as the...

They look similar to my little tux born today and his 2 day older brother. He is almost as large as his dad's head. Little more than a fluffy dot!

I like to number them so I can track them by the day I added them and/or add an A, B, C if you added more than one per day. My bet is on the oval one and you can't change my mind.

I'll have to dig up a photo of my ostrich. The brothers at Naankuse are looking for her tasty bits.

He's about the size of his dad's head. I have one shot of him I'll prepare, with his 2 day older brother and his dad. It's amazing that they come out of the factory like this. Just woke up this morning to baby peeps from the incubator. Sigh. Already making demands at such a young age. I...

Reminds me of when I was opening one feeder to refill and saw a 2 day old chick looking up at me with a surprised look on his face. Silly little things. Quail

My gripping saga started last year at the end of October, 2022 where one of the workers on the farm in Namibia found a 3 day old ostrich chick wandering around without parental supervision. For a week, I had a baby ostrich following me around like a puppy, learning how to peck at grass, showing...
