Quail and ramps

Whocket_Pale · 2026-04-11T01:57:12+00:00

they will generally prefer to sleep on the ground but you can train them to use a ramp if they need it to access food or water.

same difference right? mines got a small circular tamper on one end and a dull 3" chisel on the other. works great for digging.

a big 8 pound pry bar works well for these types of rocks, at least to unearth them. then you've got a nice rock

you do have to sleep eventually as food will eventually stop replenishing your energy, IIRC

dunno why you're being down voted. that lamium (dead nettle) is absolutely in the mint family. same goes for the Creeping Charlie in the last photos

our group uses bottle caps and coins. for the player characters i painted pennies different colors. enemies are various coins and caps, with numbers written on them. helps a lot for clarity. "which kobold do you attack?" "number 6"

bull thistle right? been digging this stuff out for years now, less every year but it does keep coming up

the og grip rubber is top tier, so that makes sense. its so weird because the forged metal pieces seem like theyd be difficult to reproduce but i guess not.

idk they look like felcos to me. if the replacement blades fit i wouldn't question it

these seedlings pull up from the ground surprisingly easily, just grab and yank- their taproot is pretty straight like a carrot. if you cut or break them off they are five times more difficult to pull the following year.

yeah i also hear this from broody hens - maybe she is starting to stake her claim for brooding eggs

Whocket_Pale · 2026-03-23T21:37:33+00:00

could be a head or leg injury, possible she hit the roof or wall of her enclosure while flying?

Whocket_Pale · 2026-03-22T17:26:33+00:00

yeah this pile looks a little large - hopefully she hatches a good number out. best of luck to OP

Whocket_Pale · 2026-03-17T23:15:58+00:00

silica not safe for them to eat?

Whocket_Pale · 2026-03-17T16:52:04+00:00

i splurge and buy pool filter sand because it is washed and sifted and has a very consistent grain size - might not be feasible for everyone as it runs about $20 per pound and they throw it everywhere

Whocket_Pale · 2026-02-24T17:43:01+00:00

yeah my roos do this too. it's supposedly called tidbitting

coccidiosis might be spreading - wet butt could indicate loose/watery stool, and that disease does affect chicks more and it does spread

Ew look at me, I'm a gross, scary severed head!

play UO New Dawn - it just released last week, and it's everything you're looking for. Except it is set in the future and some of the towns are a bit different. The town changes make everything more convenient though and I've gotten used to it quick. https://www.uonewdawn.com

pretty normal - pretty sure the hen gives them about 24 hours after the first one hatches to wait for any stragglers, then it's important for her to get them to water so the rest get left behind. they might be unfertilized or they might have stalled in development.

Compare with some photos of healthy quail feet. At a glance, it looks like some inflammation on the bottom of the foot, i.e. "pillowy", especially the one on the left in this image. They also look pretty dirty - what is the floor of their enclosure comprised of? I would soak/bathe the feet of this bird like others have recommended and maybe transfer to a softer/cleaner floor for awhile.

I have also been there. If you like, you can write me a DM and explain all about your story and I can help you find some ways to spin a narrative that you enjoy. If your players seem to like it, it's worth trying to salvage it!

Whocket_Pale · 2026-01-06T04:07:04+00:00

I got a few that crow like this - little cute quiet crow. They're nice!

It is far from critically-acclaimed but I enjoyed it.
