So, I candled eggs a day or two ago and 36 out of 50 were developing! Claim an egg number and choose a name for the chick! I might be at work when these hatch, so no guarantees I'll accurately name the chicks, but I *will* be using all names from eggs that hatch. Please name these babies...

Hello! My husband and I are moving in a few months (around October, probably) and we'll be on some property (iirc we have like...1/4 acre, I think). I need to check the details on the actual ordinances but a quick Google search of the city and county says I should be able to keep chickens - even...

So - turns out I set a double-yolked quail egg and it made it almost all the way. I think that if I had intervened earlier - which I didn't because I assume it was a big single chick, the chicks might have made it, but I don't know. They're both a little small and with pretty big yolks. I...

One of the biggest differences I've seen on the forums between chickens and quail are how we treat our roosters. People are so much more willing to try to train or rehome a chicken roo vs a quail roo, and most people would argue that chicken roos have a purpose in the health of the flock, vs...

One of our hens, a dilute named Flan, is apparently broody. I'm not sure for how long - we were away from home due to my work - but we've been back a few days and I noticed she's been hiding in a box. Thinking back, I haven't seen her lately on camera, either, so this might be a week or so of...

Keeping a bit of a journal on my quail covey(s)! This is mostly to note my own experiences and some quail behavior which I haven't seen elaborated on in other places. For anyone following, be prepared for plenty of dumb mistakes and absolute nonsense at times. Also, I'm mostly posting on my...

I know quail have crazy amounts of color combinations and I've seen papers about curly feathers and so on in quail, but I definitely don't see the same sort of variation as we have in chickens. I got it into my head after seeing bearded/muffed chickens to see if we could breed for fluffier...

I have what is possibly the most non-issue problem: my quail, aside from one confirmed male, are either all female or having a very prolonged childhood. There's very little aggression (aside from one incident where a quail got stuck under a plank and scalped by the rest of the covey - it's...

Hello! I'm currently living in Florida and recently (about a month ago) got some quail for meat and eggs. I've been lurking and reading the quail forum and finally decided to make an account! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Well, as above, we got quail. My family...
