    What to do...

    So I have a 5 sq ft freezer chest that no longer works. I don't want to throw it out. I thought about making an incubator out of it but I already have a gqf cabinet and a hovabator genesis. Maybe just store feed in it? Give me some ideas on what else I could use it for.

    What are the breeds of quail? Post pics if you can!!!

    What a great article! I had no idea that quail could be so difficult. I'm glad I read this before spending a stupid amount of money on a more exotic breed of quail as I am new to quail keeping. I'll stick with coturnix for now.

    Cotrunix quail eggs

    I would also like some different quail like mountain quail or gambel's quail (I have button quail). Saw they're like $150 on eBay. If anyone has some different types for a better price let me know.

    Looking for LF Cochin hatching eggs.

    My son (14 yrs old) was all set up to start with his LF black Cochin breeding program. But tragedy struck and his hen died. He's devastated. She was beautiful. He shows 4H and YEPA. Had a neck of a time finding a nice quality hen. Back to the drawing board. If anyone has any fertile hatching LF...

    Metal roof

    What thickness of sheet metal is good for coop roofs? I have a coop with the cheap plywood/particle board as the roof but it it sucks. I don't really want to shingle over it. I thought sheet of metal would be easier. Also what other things do I need to install the sheet metal? Should I use...
