Thanks to all who posted. I removed the diatomaceous earth from their bath and over the last two weeks their eyes are all looking a lot better!

I have been surprised to hear this from people since it has been recommended by so many to add to dust baths and around the coop. I’m going to hold off on it for a few weeks to see if it helps. Thanks!

yes I have some room I could add a plant or two for them to hide under. Thanks for the info!

So what’s the best way to increase vitamin A intake???

I noticed a few (About 1/4) of my quail had swollen eye lids. They do not smell, bleed, or foam. I add DE to their dust baths and keep the cages clean. It only occurs in one of their eyes and hasn’t gotten any better, worse, or spread to other birds over the last month or so. They all eat/drink...

I saw you sell and ship button quail eggs. I live in Jacksonville FL 32092. What do you charge a dozen and for shipping?

I plan on keeping a small flock of bobwhites and incubating the eggs. In FL you can get a permit to release bobwhites in certain management areas and hunt them.

Not sure on the chicken breeds yet. I will only have them for eggs. For quail I will get coturnix (meat) and bobwhite (hunt).

Hello everyone, My name is Mike and I have a small farm in St. Augustine FL. Looking to get a small flock of chickens and raising quail for meat and eggs. Thanks for having me!!!!
