    Broody Dolly Parton Hatchalong!

    How long have the eggs been going for now? Have you candled them? :D I know I'm a complete stranger to all of you, but actually I was watching the original hatchalong that ElfenLied89 did, only I wasn't commenting or anything! I'm looking forward to seeing what Dolly's chicks will be like! She...

    How to make BOBWHITES NEST??

    We have two Bobwhites in the aviary, a male normal mutation, and a female white mutation. It would be nice if they could nest this Spring, but we don't know what sort of place they'd like to nest. We also don't know what sort of nesting material they favour (just straw?). Are there any other...

    Yes Silkies was only really put on there to see peoples thought of them. We probably couldn't get them as the aviary gets very muddy in winter and wouldn't suit the Silkie's foot feathers.

    We would definitely like friendly ones! And eggs about 200+ per year.
