    What Color Is this Peachick?

    Oh my apologies, I should have read your posts better! So if I'm understanding right, you are saying that my white-ish Juvenile in the middle is a female and is a Black Shoulder variation?

    What Color Is this Peachick?

    Oh is he? The person I got them from said they were India blues and since the male had the black and white barring on his shoulders I assumed they were correct. Can I ask how you can tell he is split to Black Shoulder? :) Because obviously I had no clue hahaha So you think that the...

    What Color Is this Peachick?

    Hello there! Hoping you peafowl experts could help me! :) For several years we only had and bred India Blue peafowl but last year we added a white male to our flock. During this past summer one of our peahens hatched out a white-ish looking peachick. At first we thought that we somehow had...

    Lavender Orpington Thread

    Beautiful birds! Does anyone know what would happen if you bred a lavender orpington hen to a blue orpington rooster? I've seen that color breeding chart with the BBS breeding but it doesn't say anything about lavenders

    A fair price for adult coturnix quail

    1 male to 4 females is usually the best ratio (when you have fewer hens they get "over-bred" by the male and can lose a lot of feathers from the constant mounting. At least when theres more hens, each hen gets a break). So around 5 males? I've been researching it a lot and, though i could be...

    Feed is it too much protein?

    I've actually heard that 30% was too much. Was told that it kills their kidneys. I think if you are just raising them to eat then its ok (because they won't be alive long enough for their kidneys to get damaged) but if they are breeders, which are going to be alive for months/year(s), then its...

    How do you "Cull" quails??

    My dad does that with his chickens and animals too Lol his wife complains about all the money he spend on feed but he's like "But look at all the money we're saving on eggs and chicken wings!" hahaha farming isn't usually the most profitable thing, and when you do make a good profit its because...

    How do you "Cull" quails??

    Thank you for your opinion! I do understand that quails aren't usually a big successful way to try and make money (not many animals are) Lol I don't do my projects JUST for money, I also do it for the experience and having farm raised meat and eggs, that's why I usually just have my "projects"...

    How do you "Cull" quails??

    I just finished reading that article/discussion and all I can say is WOW! lol That was amazing, it covered like everything! Thanks so much, I have it saved and will be looking back at it frequently. It is more focused on big-scaled gamebird farming, but almost everything said can be "toned down"...

    How do you "Cull" quails??

    Thank you i will keep that in mind :) I actually want them more for the experience (my favorite thing about raising birds is collecting/incubating/hatching eggs) and I love quail meat and eggs so thats what I want them the most for. What are Button Quail used for? In my area (oregon) I have seen...
