Hey Satay and all!!!!!!!!
I am so happy to have my coop back
Sorry it's been a while, my son ended up in ICU he is doing ok, has type 1 diabetes, lucky I took him to hospital when I did, I could have lost him. Took 3 months to finally finish the coop and fenced in yard. Today was the first day of training my rotti to be amicable with them. At the moment, have 2 lavender sussex boys (6 months old) and 4 isa hens (18 weeks)
Just need to find a couple of lavender s hens
Will post pics of our taj mahal when I remember to take my phone up to the pen

Hi @Quaicken108 and @Florence NightingQuail I kinda miss Sydney. I was in a routune of popping over every couple of months for meetings but now it's all on zoom. At least i get to stay home with the chooks

Funny - my sister lives in Adelaide and I miss being able to shoot down there to see her. It’s probably a good thing that I’ve still been having to travel into work everyday throughout, because I could prob waste hours watching the quails now!

I do love a bit of chicken tv, it has to de said but I'm pretty good at focussing on my job.

So fellow quail-keeping Aussies..... what time of year do your outside quail start laying? Is it not til the summer months?

 

[Quaicken108]

What type of quail?

 

[Florence NightingQuail]

Cotournix

 

[Quaicken108]

Cotournix

Coturnix quail are good layers with the amount of light hours and also temperatures. They’ll probably be best in summer but will still lay heaps in spring and sometimes some in the cooler months.
