    Spangled LF Cornish.

    One of my future projects I am working on, I have 5 of them so I will be breeding them out to see what color chicks they throw. They are the black ones with brown and white, the others are WLR crosses that will most likely be used in another project The mahogany chicks are Buckeyes.

    Same old question, boy or girl Pekin?

    I believe it was early May and they would have been a week or so old, the Khaki Campbells never shut up so they are fairly easy to voice sex but these guys dont say much. I pick each of them up and they will make clucking type noises but never quack or make deep throaty sounds like the male...

    Same old question, boy or girl Pekin?

    I bought these this spring as hatchery choice ducks at Orschelns and am still not sure if they are boy or girl? I tried the voice sexing but they are not really vocal and if they are I cant tell

    Sexing jumbo browns early

    If you have your birds together in a cage and you sexed one and got a little foam it could have been that it was a hen that was just bred. If they are normal jumbos or brown wildtype then the breast of the male is gold and the hen has spots. I have about 15 baby jumbos and 10 adult breeder...

    Winter laying ???????

    I asked a similar question before and people replied that they light 14-16 hours a day, in the winter if you want to give your quail a break that is ok too, you just need to expect them to let off of laying some or completely. It allows the birds to take a break and lets their bodies focus on...

    Sexing jumbo browns early

    Its still young but guessing by the spots on the chest I am voting hen as well, the males I have pretty much have little or no spots on their chest from 2 weeks or as soon as the "fuzz" is all clear on their chests. Keep us updated

    So quail bark?

    Males do the crowing, hens will make noise though, most of mine are doing more like a cooing noise

    quail and chickens

    It would take a lot of work to clean it up from having chickens in it, you would be better off to build a rabbit hutch style enclosure out away from the shed, that way you start new and do not have to worry about bio-security issues. JMHO

    GQF Thermostat install questions

    Yeah I looked at the instructions again, on this thermostat the green is constant hot, the black is power supply when the thermostat is on, and the white is ground, you would think they would make it universal wiring colors so people do not hook them up backwards :( I hope it didnt hurt it...

    GQF Thermostat install questions

    I installed my GQF 3255 Thermostat yesterday and I had troubles with the wiring because my hatcher was homemade ( not by me ) and the wires were not color coded. My old primary thermostat was a water heater thermostat and was crap for keeping temps, there were 5 to 8 degree swings so I ended...
