    I have a breeding pair of California Valley quail but they hate me. I am getting one silkie that will live in the same coop as my quail. I will be breeding mine every year as meat and show birds.

    Show me your quail pens!!!

    This is the chicken coop I designed and built myself. I had been raising chickens in it for 4 years but now I have California Quail. It is kind of a cross between a cage and a flight pen.

    valley quail or gambel?

    The easiest way to tell is by looking at the breast and sides. Gamble's quail have a dark splotch on their lower breast and California Quail have much more heavily scaled sides.

    Can I have only one Nigerian dwarf goat

    I was wondering if it was ok to keep only one Nigerian dwarf goat as a pet, I have limited property so having two would be a stretch, is there another animal that I can use as a companion animal for it instead? Also is it ok to have them housed fully inside a spacious barn with mesh windows for...
