    How to breed Quails using chickens?

    Ah that's awesome thanks for the advice, I will research that rocket stove also. These babies are doing well and I have managed to keep them alive using my body heat and the odd few minutes of sunshine that we sometimes get here per day.

    How to breed Quails using chickens?

    Yes Wow this is very interesting, I think I would like to try this, now I just need to find out how to get hold of dry wood since the rain has not stopped in 7 years, but there are a few places inside the house where the water does not pour in so I can probably gather some cardboard and old...

    How to breed Quails using chickens?

    I Im located in SA. I understand all of this as I did it many years ago when there were such things as electricity but what I'm wondering is how do you power the heat lamp so that it can turn on? I have one here from years ago but I just don't know how to get hold of electricity ever since...

    How to breed Quails using chickens?

    Yes I'm seeing that you are the second person to mention the hot water bottle, I wonder how to get hot water, if it would not rain every single day then we could make a fire but the wood is always all wet, I'll try think of something. I myself am freezing to death here so this is a dreadful...

    How to breed Quails using chickens?

    Oh yes I see what you are saying, how dumb of me lol, thank you for this. I've also had a few people in my town tell me that their chickens raise their quail since they can't afford electricity but mine clearly won't do it lol so I think you are 100% correct on this.

    How to breed Quails using chickens?

    Good day everyone. I was given a trio of Quails but the one had bumble foot when it arrived so I started antibiotics immediately but sadly it died in one day because presumably the antibiotics were started too late. Anyway so now the rooster Quail only has one hen and he is destroying her...

    Wry Neck and heat

    Hi there. I just Googled "can heatstroke or dehydration cause wry neck" and I came across this post. I always give my chickens vitamin E twice a week and have never had any of my own chickens (that I have bred myself) develop wry neck. However, three birds that I bought in from other breeders...

    Curved breast bone? Do I have to cull my deformed chick????

    Hi there. I would love to know what happened to Omlet in the end? Poor thing. I have an angel of a Silkie who has a skew breastbone and so her wings (shoulders) are skew and she walks like a duck but tries not to walk much. She even lays skew odd shaped eggs. I wonder if she will get worse and...

    Silkie leg feathering?

    I know that you are correct. We have been trying to find Silkies for over ten years and that is why we bought in these because the transport was so cheap, it was a once in a lifetime chance to get Silkies into our area. If we bought from the proper breeders the transport costs would have been...
