    Clam shells (before I feed to my chickens)

    Well, just anything that you can possibly think has calcium in it, I think would work. I used to do eggshells using what my birds laid, but it was never enough. Make sure to really clean the shells from the beach first before you use them.

    Quail Eating Chicken Food???

    You can use starter feed, but most chicken feeds don’t have enough protien.

    Cages Vs. Tractors Vs. Large enclosed on the ground for quail

    Hello! This has been a very heated topic in my experience. Cages or grass? I am in the middle of building a quail tractor for my birds, because that is what I think is the best option. I have had my quail in cages since I have had quail, because I read that they were much healthier. I disagree...

    Thanks so much! I hope this works for quail, as I have already planted them a clover field, and am thinking of addding some of the above!

    First Time Hatching Button Quail... Advice?!?!?

    Hello! I am about to hatch button quail, but I have never done it before. I am an experienced coturnix hatcher, but is button quail any different? I'm used to: 99.5 f, 40-55%,or 15-35%. Also, where do you recomend getting some budget-friendly hatching eggs?
