    Considering quail

    Oh I was just going off the site’s care sheet for bobwhite. So multiple males and a harem of females could fit in that size of coop assuming there is adequate cover and stimulation to avoid aggression?

    Considering quail

    Hello everyone! I recently moved my pigeons to a bigger aviary, which leaves their old 6x3x6 open. I am considering getting quail and would like some opinions - first: In general I prefer bobwhite quail, though they seem harder to raise, but my main question on them is this - I see that people...

    How can we make our Chukar happier? [BUMP]

    What Size Enclosure For Wild Duck Breeds?

    I feel you on the rocky yard. Seems like that’s half the soil around here lol. I never knew that long tails were loud! In part its probably because I only ever see them in winter when they’re not courting as much anyways. I know that the aviary is going to be back-breaking expensive, but one day...
