    Lets talk about goats!

    The food grade D.E. is supposed to be act as a wormer. My understanding is that all goats have worms, we can only control the load but can't get rid of them. The previous owner never wormed these goats but only gave D.E. Their eyes are very pink so there has to be some merit to it.

    Lets talk about goats!

    I just got my first goats yesterday. One, a 4 year old Nubian doe, the other a 1.5 year Nubian/Boer cross doe. I built a 1000sqft pen for them and plan on giving them controlled access to 2.5 acres of scrub. The previous owner fed them alfalfa with some D.E. nothing else. First day I offered...

    I built roll out cages in the back of my aviary, 15 cages, 3.25sqft per cage. 5 gallon bucket gravity feeds poultry cups. Egg collection was never easier.

    Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore

    That makes good sense. The smaller the quail the more easily they flush and are able to fly. My 10+ ounce birds helicopter in slow motion and can achieve 10 foot vertical (very short duration), but even a 15 year old, one-eyed bird dog could catch them.

    keping coturnix quail together

    The outside is wrapped with 1/2" HW cloth. The partition in the picture is plastic 1" mesh garden stuff for fencing your veggies. It doesn't need to be strong to keep them in, only needs to be strong to keep predators out.

    keping coturnix quail together

    I place my grow outs in one side of the aviary at 3 weeks old. Adults on the other side go nuts trying to get to them. At 6 weeks, I cage all that will be culled or sold and open the pop door connecting the two halves of the aviary. Never once had a fight, including introducing new males to...

    Baby quail food grinding?

    Mine can helicopter straight up 10 or more feet but they can't maintain it for long. Easily get over an 8 foot fence if they were inclined to do so.

    Show me your quail pens!!!

    I place 2 of these 14" planter saucers in each aviary (in addition to waterers) for them to wade in, clean their feet. I water the plants with them at the end of the day.

    Quails

    Thanks Binki! Outside is all covered up for the last two days. Wool blankets on the overhang 2 feet back from the front wall keeping the snow out but ventilation full. Nice and cozy inside this morning. Pic from a few minutes ago.

    Strange egg..

    Could be a stress egg hastily pushed out before it's time. It wouldn't surprise me if that's her last egg for a week.

    Quails

    In her yearbook it says, "Most likely to brood a clutch of eggs". She climbs in the basket and inspects the eggs, trying to adjust them like a worried momma.
