    To quail or not to quail?

    Ok, I will stop asking obvious questions and do more searching... Dan and Marilyn are a big hit here and I think the chickens are getting jealous.

    To quail or not to quail?

    I got these guys home and have them in a small cage up on some sawhorses. The cage has about 4 square feet of floor area and I have made them a nice little sandbox to enjoy. I was rewarded with an egg this morning. It is the CUTEST thing ever! The quail are so friendly. They come right...

    To quail or not to quail?

    I am sitting here looking at a cage with two small coturnix quail. I have no idea about what I should do with them. They are about 5 weeks old - a male and a female. They do make some really cool noises and I am enjoying watching them. If I build a little quail tractor would that be OK for...

    Small black chickens and a large gold one. UPDATED pg 2!!!

    I should add that Pat is out of a different hatch from a different location but within days of the others. Pat is twice or more the size of the black ones. I never thought of Pat being a game cross since his hen was a giant puffy gold hen that looked like a buff orpington. There were many...

    Small black chickens and a large gold one. UPDATED pg 2!!!

    Here are some updated pics of my guys from today. Do you guys think the earlier id's stick? They are around 12 weeks old. The roosters are getting really pretty! I am going to keep one (maybe two if they keep getting along) but I am not sure what to do about the rest. They are all very...

    Got my girls this morning from MPC

    Everyone was alive and well but I was short one RIR and one EE. I am not going to worry about it because I got an extra SLW. Everyone is EDP so I think they will be good to go. I am going to do a pasty butt check this afternoon. They dominique chicks are really mean! As soon as I opened the...

    Favorite horse or pony breed?

    Paso Finos are the love of my life with Arabians coming second. I also think that the Marwari horse is lovely.

    Small black chickens and a large gold one. UPDATED pg 2!!!

    I know that none of them are purebred anything. The gold guys does not actually have green legs, the lighting was bad so that probably caused the color to be off. His legs are very yellow and the feathers on them are only on the outside. The black ones came from two hens but they were...

    Small black chickens and a large gold one. UPDATED pg 2!!!

    My friend gave me these guys as day old chicks back in June. Some were solid black as chicks and some were mostly black with a little bit of white when they were small and fuzzy. I had two yellows, I believe that they were sex linked because one had a black double diamondish shape on it's head...

    Any plumbers out there?

    My hubby is a master plumber and charges $75 an hour for labor. We are in a small town and his rate is cheaper than others in the area.
