    4 out of 7 Georgia Bobwhite Quail DEAD~!!!! :( PLEASE REPLY!!

    Okay, so we bought 7 Georiga bobwhite quail at a swap meet a few months ago- When we brought them home we put them in the chicken coop (pretty open, and on the ground) where our old barnyard chickens used to be.. (they came from all over)--- We didnt clean the nesting boxes or coop out before...

    Carpenter Bees

    Yes, we all know how pesky carpenter bees can be! But fortunately, carpenters dont have stingers, they just dive bomb you if you are messing around their holes- The best way to keep them at bay is to spray WD-30 into the hole, push foil back into the hole, and then caulk it. we live in a log...

    OPERATION SLY FOX! NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!! (Attempt Number One: Fail)

    I absolutely agree--- i mean, it was our fault for thinking for ONE night they would be okay untill we put a roof over the run-- bad idea! :( but we have an identical coop next to it- with a roof and those ones are fine-- there are no gaps or openenings anywhere else in the cooop-- since they...

    You are correct- those things are so pesky!!

    @Honeysuckle- glad you found your culprit! and to Susan- really Racoons?? hmm..interesting!! All the eggs my sweet silkies were laying on were also broken onto the floor of their coop--- my better half said the killings must have happened inside the actual coop- and then whatever it was tried to...
