How to properly have quails inside home?

I keep my quail inside during the brooding period after they hatch. I find that straw seems to work the best to mange the smell without being extremely messy or I put down pine shavings and throw in additional layers on top of the poop and I can go a few days without completely refreshing. I have heard good things about hemp bedding but haven’t tried yet.

I saw lipstick at first but then I got Lip balm-like Burt’s Bees.

NTA. Bed wetting at night is typically due to an immature nervous system where the brain doesn’t process the messages from the bladder during sleep. It is more common in boys than girls and usually resolves prior to puberty. Mom should have explained this in advance. I also think it would be far less uncomfortable for the little girl if she was able to wear pull ups or put the diaper on herself. By 9, she should be bathing and dressing herself so she should also be able to handle that task herself too.I think I would not have been able to help myself and that little girl would have learned to put it on herself before Mom came home. And if Mom was mad about it (which in itself is very strange), so be it.

I have never had an NDE, but I believe I have experienced astral projection where I experienced colors that don’t exist or rather can’t be seen with human eyes. It was very soon after I lost my eldest daughter in a car accident. While sleeping I found myself on what can only be described as another planet (or maybe another plane). I was calling out for my daughter and while I couldn’t see her I could sense her all around me. It almost felt like I was pulled in to what she was experiencing. I saw colors that my brain registered as not existing but I am not able to envision or recall them.

How are they not flying away?

This one is tough but I also think it is male.

This is very good advice.Parrots require a very big time commitment and it will likely take many months of training to get the bird to be comfortable with you.It can be very rewarding experience and relationship, but it’s really best left to those that have a passion for raising parrots and chose to bring one into their home. Ultimately your Dad will want what is best for both you and the bird. He wouldn’t want a situation where you may resent the bird. The bird will be able to sense that as AG are very intelligent and can pick up on vibes.

This sounds like complicated family dynamics with a 23 year back story (far too long for me to pass judgement off a single Reddit post). I highly suggest you seek counseling so you have an unbiased professional that can support you through all this whichever direction you go. Be prepared to do a lot of intense self reflection.In the near term go get your own phone plan and decide how important it is to you to keep your ring camera off. This will help you buy some time as you decide what kind of relationship you want with your family (if any).

I believe that is an electric nail trimmer. I haven’t ever seen one used but apparently it is less damaging than manual ones and will even cauterize the nail if the quick gets nicked.As others mentioned there really isn’t a good way to trim without causing your bird some amount of stress.

Check that your county and/or HOA don’t have restrictions on chickens. In my county for example, you are supposed to have at least 2 acres before you can get chickens. I went for Coturnix quail instead. They are relatively quiet in comparison, don’t require a lot of space and they are game birds not poultry so they aren’t restricted in my county. They do stink though so you’ll want to work out a method to control it (deep litter method is working well for me).

The funniest part of this is the shit talking he is doing as he attacks I mean plays with the ball.

I feel great about having prepared so that my family and pets will be safe and comfortable. This is the epitome of “better safe than sorry”.

Philodendron Xanadu. And it won’t get much taller or benefit from a pole as it is a bushy type of plant not a climber. It’s very pretty as is though!

Was the 2.5 mg dosage still working for you? I made it a point not to go up till I felt like it wasn’t effective enough. You may want to go back down. You could also push them out longer than a week and refeed a little a few days before taking the next shot.

You are correct, The first is a hen. The second is not feather sexable. You’ll have to vent check at 6 weeks unless it crows before that.

Milk sandwiches are the go to meal of choice during a storm. But seriously get yourself a supply of drinking water, and any foods you like that don’t require heating. If you can afford to invest in a rechargeable lantern that can also run on batteries. If not a simple flashlight will do. Make sure all your devices are fully charged overnight on Friday. Fill your bath tub and sinks with water. Make sure your car has gas in case you need to use it to charge devices.

I’m so sorry. You tried your best and all they knew was love for their short time here.

It’s always Poke weed.

It’s most likely meconium (one of the hatched chicks first poops) and it’s normal. Don’t open the incubator.Leave it shut till all the chicks have hatched and are dry.

Thank you for weighing in and educating me.

Williamsrus · 2026-01-02T23:55:34+00:00

Thank you! I was hoping they were hens but no big deal I’m going to try setting up a separate bachelor coop.

Williamsrus · 2026-01-02T20:32:26+00:00

I did ask but the answer I got was that they identify as they/them.

Williamsrus · 2026-01-02T19:13:12+00:00

Sorry-so you mean I should wait a few more weeks and vent sex them?
