    Keeping quail indoors

    All of our male quail are crowers and the noise is starting to disturb neighbors. We really don't want to harvest all the boys. We're thinking about moving our whole hutch into our basement. Does anyone keep their quail inside? Anything special we should know about it? Thanks!

    Super noisy quail

    We got our first quail flock this summer. We chose them because they would be quiet and our neighbors wouldn't likely notice them, so no complaints to the HOA. Well, wouldn't you know it, we had a super noisy roo. He just continuously crowed all morning long, from sun rise on, and it's loud...

    Too much! Lol. This will last me about a week. I only have 12 chicks. I just bought it to hold me over until I can get the 40lb sack of the kind I want. :-)

    Beginner questions

    Thanks! I just went out and bought more of it, they are eating lots! My local feed store doesn't carry the organic stuff I normally like so I had to special order it. Had I driven another half hour I could have bought some directly from the company that makes it! Lol. Another question: I can't...

    I'm sorry, it's not bird seed, it's game bird feed. Manna Pro brand. My phrasing mistake. :-)

    Beginner questions

    Hi! I bought my first baby quail a week ago, and I'm feeding them ground up wild bird feed (Manna Pro brand, but I found an organic alternative I'll be switching to, locally produced too!), but I understand I can eventually feed them veggies/kitchen scraps as a supplement to their feed. When can...

    Colorado-Denver North Metro flocks

    I'm in Thornton and wanting to keep a flock of coturnix quail. Doing some research to try and figure out if they're considered livestock poultry or domesticated wild birds according to the city code. Anyone know?

    Can I ask some dumb beginners questions?

    Hi! I'm new to raising food producing animals and I feel like I've been reading tons and have decided on quails because of our space restrictions and HOA rules and the fact that I can really raise them for eggs and meat. I feel like I've been reading a ton on them but I still feel pretty lost...

    Feeding Organic rations to Quail...a "complete" diet is needed

    Wow. Okay, so feeding quail is going to be somewhat difficult .... Lots of Colorado folks here though! Cool!

    Hi! I'm new!

    Yeah, the HOA ordinance says "no live stock", And the HOA president lives next door to us, so I don't think chickens will fly (no pun intended). I know there's a rouge bee keeper down the street from us, but they live far enough away they don't get busted. The HOA president freaked out enough...
