    Hello to all. This is my first attempt at a homemade incubator. As with many other homemade versions, I used the common parts. Hot water heater thermostat, bottle lamp kit, small pc fan, automatic egg turner, etc. The windows are the glass out of two old picture frames. The hole that is...

    Questions about introducing two new birds to my Mountain Quail

    Nest Boxes

    kuntrychick, I was in a rush to get this coop chicken ready and didn't have time to figure out how to make it rain proof. I like the ease of installation with the buckets and don't mind going in to gather and check stuff. I had thought about turning them around and cutting a hole in the botton...

    Nest Boxes

    CountryCentinel, that is exactly what I did. I was in a time crunch to get this pen ready for these MF bantams and used 4 lowes buckets with 2 tops. I cut a test hole in a piece of scrap plywood. Once I got the right fit, I traced the cutout on the wall and cut out the holes. I then cut both...

    Tenn red: boy or girl?

    Thanks Missi, I was just out there sitting and watching for a few minutes and feel pretty sure red is a girl. I saw him/her get submissive with a bobwhite roo and layed lown, then he climbed on his/her back. The roo slightly grabbed the back of red's neck and then stepped off. Looked like they...

    Tenn red: boy or girl?

    UPDATE!!! I came home from my vacation to find my new little red was doing very good. It was trying so hard to figure out how to get into my duck pen. I guess it needed some company. I ended up going to my Dep. Chief's house and getting some regular bob whites from him. I got 3 roos and 5 hens...
