Well, that crazy hen managed to sit all the way through and hatch one chick. I put the other eggs in the incubator to see if anything else happens. It looks like one more may be pipping. Meanwhile, she's a doting mama. Watch:

I always thought it would be amazing to have coturnix chicks hatch under a hen. I should be more careful of what I wish for. I reintroduced two roos back to the flock to see what groups would form, and one hen went berserk. She and the others beat up the most aggressive roo who got sent back...

I sold some hatching eggs a few months ago and was surprised to get a text from the buyer: the hatched hen started a new brood of her own, sitting on the eggs and successfully bringing 6 new chicks into the world. I had the chance to see them for myself. Here's the story...

Just wondering. I've had a couple that I wished I could rewind a day on.

Two days in and one of the eggs has exploded in the incubator. The worst part is that I can't seem to remove it. It is in a egg turner and has "cooked" itself in. Smells awful, but it isn't touching or around the other eggs. How bad would it be to let it stay there? Other than the smell it...

From today's news: Poultry producers encouraged to continue to keep a close eye on their flocks Keep birds away from wild birds, especially waterfowl; practice good bio-security. Cases identified in North and South Carolina so far.

Most of my coturnix quail have an outdoor run on the ground. They love it there. So do Surinam roaches, which the quail gobble up when they show themselves. Now, I've learned that Surinam roaches carry poultry eyeworm, which sees much of its lifecycle living in chickens and other birds...

Turns out the Purina Startena gamebird feed was infested with soldier fly eggs and now they've hatched and are swarming my compost. Do your quail eat them? Mine are looking at me like I'm crazy for even trying. Or, maybe they don't like that they're being given back the compost pile they...

None of my other birds have molted this early. Two of the silver colored birds appear to be molting at fourteen weeks of age. It doesn't look like overbreeding -- they still have feathers in their head and I don't see the male overly favoring them. It's only their back feathers and the...

I have three hens that I'm thinking of starting a girls-only pen for. They are: 1. (No name, but Crazy Italian Hen seems to have stuck as a description) A beautiful big bird I've bred several times. She's been the trophy mount (prize) for several males and now hates them. She will chase...

On the subject of feed, is anyone else experiencing problems with the Purina Game Bird Chow? Mine is shipping from the Continental US with tons of grain mites. At first I thought it was my storage, so I sealed it up really tight, including a rubber seal on the can. Turns out it's inside the...

I crossed two pairs of birds in my last hatching. One set was grau falb fee (f) with Tibetan (m). The other set was Italian (f) with scarlet/range (m) I kept this one male. Do you think it has any silver/grey gene in it? Is it from the grau falb fee/Tibetan cross? g

My hen was limping so I separated her to heal. Turns out she's missing 1 toe and the other is bent backward. She hobbles around on the one remaining toe but prefers to be back with her tribe as opposed to being in solitude. The coop is pretty challenging for an able bird but she's lived most...

This is my Cherokee Purple Tomato plant. I repotted it with the bottom 1/3 filled with bedding harvested from the quail run. It was topped with potting soil and drains into a container under it. The bedding was not aged prior. At the end of the day, if there is liquid under the plant, I...

I just don't even know where to start. I could tell you about the roo with an Italian fetish. He's great breeding stock, but he goes wild for Italian patterned birds. The one hen I initially had had to be separated early on because he was overbreeding her and relentlessly chasing her around...

Initially, I thought it was the gamebird starter. Then, I thought it might have been the 100 watt incandescent reptile light that caused my birds to mature faster and grow bigger. Now, I'm wondering if it is the red (and later added, white) LED lights that have an effect on their growth. Here...

My observation, that's all. I have two in this batch and they've already taken to establishing their pecking order although though they are only two birds out of eight. They're only one week old. The weird thing is that I didn't think I bred any white genes in this last round since I've had...

It looks like it is going to explode but the chick is otherwise fine. Should I separate it anyway? I put ointment and sprayed the area with vetericyn.

It is a pretty big one. I'm hoping an Italian jumbo.
