glad she's feeling better.

When mine go broody i put her in the rabbit run so there s no comfy nest box for her to sit in. As long as there s food and water and shelter from rain, i put them back in coop at night or some where secure and it usually takes a few days for them to stop being broody and they soon fit back into sch...

Hi, yes I had followed your posts and I hope Bumble keeps doing well. I just thought I'd post results of vets visit because I think you can get Tylan online which would save a costly vets bill for some one. (before some one says it I am not recommending use of medicines with out just cause) but it's...

I've just taken my silver sussex to the vet as her foot was n't improving much.She said to carry on washing it to keep it as clean as possible and use the purple spray(antiseptic spray for animal use) and she prescribed tylan. She said cutting out infected area really last resort as it s difficult t...

hi,I know this might sound odd but have you checked her feet? I've just logged on for any info on bumblefoot which my silver sussex has and saw your post. Val as she's called shakes her head but will eat and drink normally but then goes and hides on her own and looks sleeepy and will shake her head.

one problem i have encountered is they fight. Came home to find one quail scalped by the other. did all i could for it but it did n't make it.

hi, i need to rehome my 4 chinese painted quail if any one would like them. 1 female and 3 male. approx 5 mths old. I am sad to have to do this but time is an issue lately and common sense has to prevail so i am cutting back on some things. Athough they don't take up a lot of room they can fly so pl...

had her 4 yrs now hatched her in an incubator so know all the noises she makes and this is odd for her. Think steves right, came home today and she looks like she s got a cold.

Hi every one, my welsummer hen who is one of my oldest hens is making a strange noise. It sounds a like a some one trying to strangle her. She seems in good health but has been doing this for a few days. Any one got any suggestions why she's doing this.

not noisy up to now and a friend of mine had some in her aviary said they where not that noisy compared to some other birds. they diffenately need containing though as they are very flighty. some thing similar to rabbit hutch and run would be ok

just got 6 quail at week end and they are in our spare coop with a bantam we got at same time. We've made a new top to the coop for day light and to keep rain out and they seem to have settled well

we had miniture appleyards they were lovely but unfortunately because they're call ducks they were to noisy for the neighbours and yes they were messy and i would suggest you get their wings clipped because ours were good fliers. tyhey did go to a good home and i still get to have their eggs.

always check other aldi's prices vary from town to town. Sorry to say they're £3.99 here

i always use shredded paper in nest boxes never had problems never used it for my rabbits though so might give it a try.

watch the combs, hens generally have smaller combs at a young age.
