IYE what is the best kind or breed of quail to keep as a pet that especially doesn't mind or even likes to be handled?
Been feeding the TN layer pellets exclusively now. I got my first soft shelled eggs today and there were two of them in the same day out of 7 laying hens. Is that normal? I figured they were getting enough calcium because I noticed that many of the eggs I'm getting have tiny white speckles that...

Can you keep just males together separated from the females? I got a 6:4 male/female
