How long will quail eggs stay "good"? I'm wondering how long I can collect them untill I can put them in the bator before they go bad.

Well it sound like we have some interest in throwing another Chicken Stock this year. My wife and I are willing to have it at our house. It will be in Chaplin CT. Any thoughts, ideas? We're not too sure of a date yet. Maybe give us all some time to recoup and hatch some new birds and get some...

So when my wife and I first started to research button quail. From my understanding was that they are very quite birds, and all we knew was that they had a quite chirp. Its rather soothing. We have them in a nice sized bird cage in the bed room. UNTILL the darn things woke me up at 3:00 am with...

I have 37, 3 1/2 week old Cornish Rocks from Ideal. Right now they just over a pound in weight. I put the on broiler crumbles. 22% protein. Should I add in crushed corn into their diet? Ideal says that they can reach 6 pounds in 6 weeks. I just don't see that happening. I have never raised...
