    Six Week Old Quail, Still No Eggs

    Mine started laying eggs around 8weeks and then all of them started laying eggs around 10-12 weeks. Give it some time.

    Where do you get your feed?

    Thanks everyone for the info. I checked out "The Feed Store" in Summit IL and they had the Purina Game starter feed that is 30% protein for $20 for 50lbs. So that worked out nicely. They also had a nice deal on the waterer and feeder trays, actually better then online so I was able to pick...

    Where do you get your feed?

    I'm looking for the 24%-28% protein feed and when I google and search ebay I get junk. I went to the local pet store and they only had 14% protein. Where do you buy your feed? And how much do you pay for 5lbs or 50lbs? I'm expecting my first hatch this weekend and I'm caught off guard how...

    Hovabator

    I got it with dual trays. It has chicken and quail trays. Total price for the new incubator with bigger window was around $205 shipped and that includes both trays. Buying from the manufacturer I think the price was the cheapest by like $20, plus I figure if anything goes wrong, I'd rather...

    Dyeing the chicks

    Thank you rebel. Looks like I can dye them for personal use and show them to friends, but I'm not able to give them to my nieces/nephews or sell them. Which is fine.

    Hello from Chicagoland

    Thank you for the warm welcome. Unfortunately my town does not allow chickens closer then 450ft i think from any residence, so anyone that lives near Chicago knows that land like that is expensive and hard to come by. That's why I'm focusing on Quail, it specifically states in the laws...

    Pigeons...

    My dad has pigeons and I've lived with them all my life. When kept indoors and you let them out they fly around high for an hour or so until they get tired. We used to race the homers anywhere from 100-1000 miles and it was rare to loose them, they are great smart birds, just need to take care...
