Wow, only 3 weeks, look at those breasts!...on the chicken! On the chicken! Sorry, couldn't resist. ;) Good looking birds. When are you going to process?

Oh my goodness I can taste the end of my coop project! Just a few more screws that I believe I can finish tomorrow and then I'll be done done or at least have the absolute necessities done. Then to start on my quail project.

Earlier in the week I had posted that I thought one of my younger chicks had started crowing. Well I figured I better start keeping tabs on who it might be. I decided that the next time I hear it again I better investigate. My alarm goes off this morning and seconds later I hear a crow. I debate...

Thanks! Should be fun. Depending on my hatch rate, I may be looking to sell some down the road. So this morning much to my surprise, I heard a crow, dang it! I'm really hoping whoever it was is having an identity crisis. It seems too early to be getting crows, they'll be 12 weeks old this...

Well I finally got through and did it. It only took 3 weeks to get a hold of him but I ordered 50 James Marie Farms Pharoah quail hatching eggs. Should have them middle of the week in the 3rd week of October. Hopefully that'll give me enough time to have everything ready outside! So many...

Is this your first time beekeeping? I was so close to pulling the trigger this spring.

So why them? I'd imagine the meat production?

That's pretty crazy. I think I wpuod have done the same. Fighting a bear or getting rid of the quail, seems like a pretty easy choice. Good to know. I would have to build or find some cages to keep them in so that's probably a good month or two out. My ultimate goal is to see if I can't get...

I have been doing a lot of reading up this past week. What do you keep them for, meat and/or eggs and do you keep them just for yourselves? I did have some years ago but they were ground level under a swing set fort type thing and my guess is something breached the chicken wire and they got...

Do any of you all do quail? I'm teasing the idea. Either Japanese or jumbo coturnix.

Wow, so if anyone is looking for some frying pan meat birds, Meyer has a really good deal, with shipping (for me) $1.49 a bird for 25 or $1.36 a bird if you get 50. All rooster assortment.

Thanks! I'll have to make sure the little ones are secure once I put them outside but it's nice to know the bigger ones should be okay. I'm hoping they take care of the dang flies! The chickens have fun chasing the grasshoppers lol. I'm glad I figured out my camera lol! I finally found the...

That's good to know. Thanks for the information. I don't believe it was a hawk that got the one about a month ago. Not sure what, if anything, got it. Ended up asking my uncle and he was able to identify it! It's a Mississippi Kite. Their primary food sources are insects, rodents, and small...

I would say it looked more like a northern goshawk but the coloring is still off. I've been trying to get some better pictures all day but they've been gliding the wind, maybe a hundred feet up. Tomorrow morning I'll be out again and can hopefully get better pictures. One of my hens is smaller...

I heard this cool bird I've never heard before while I was working on my coop. Looked up in the tree and expected to see a smaller bird, not huge, but when it flew over my head, it sure had a big wing span. Anyone know what it is? They have a nest in my neighbors tree...I believe it's too small...

That's what I was thinking too. Really interesting read. It got me to wondering if the hatcheries have their breeding pairs vaccinated. From the article it appears chicks get the immunity vaccine passed to them. If the hatcheries do have their breeding pairs vaccinated, then presumably, anyone...

Here's a few pics of what the toes look like. To me it seems their broken or maybe even deformed. The two are walking around like no big deal though. Chick 1 left middle toe Chick 1 left middle toe Chick 2 right left toe Chick 2 right left toe

Sorry I cannot view those videos for whatever reason. Hmm not sure why... How are things now and was the breathing issue the only symptom? That next day she looked better, almost if nothing was wrong. The heavy breathing was the only thing I saw. I thought maybe heat but my thermometer showed...
