I guess I should have said I am located in Mid-Michigan.

Ok. Thank you for your tips. I have tried and cannot find any local birds or eggs. I have raised hundreds of birds every year for the past 6. Just can’t figure out why this spring is being such a pain. Never had an issue before.

I am desperately looking for some quality eggs. I’ve bought three separate orders from eBay and have one 5 week old quail in my pen. Not sure if I got lame eggs or if the usps is to blame. Never had an issue with high hatch rates. Can you message me your info, payment how to’s and your location...

Hello all. I am looking for some fertile hatching eggs from Coturnix quail. It has been quite the process this spring. I have bought three batches of eggs from ebay, 132 eggs total. And as of now have one 5 week old quail in the outdoor pen. To say it’s been a disappointment is an accurate...

Had a few hatch earlier than expected. My question is, how long csn the chick's stay in the Bator before I need to pull them out? Hate to open it up if not necessary.

I had a few chick's hatch sooner than expected. How long can they stay in the incubator before they need to be taken out and put in the brooder? I just hate to keep opening it to remove a chick or two.

Quote: Hello outdoor junkie! I'm wondering what breed the black ones are. Could they be Black Copper Marans? If you don't have any luck with anyone else taking them, I may be interested in the black ones, if you wouldn't mind separating them. ChickwannaB, if you have room for all of them...

Just looking for someone interested. I am in the Flint area. I am trying to find a good home for our four hens, just don't have the right setup this year to try and keep them over the winter. Looking for someone who wants some good egg layers. I think two are RIR, and two are black with gold...

Can't wait to see how this turns out. But I can almost guarantee it is some sort of feline, either house cat, small cogar, or something else. You can easily tell it is not in the canine family, and is definitly not a fox. It has absolutly no characteristics of a fox. The legs, the body...

I'm saying house cat. it is definitly not a fox. Not a fox tail, nore does it have a canine head. it is most definitly a cat of sorts, but looks far too smal lto be a cougar.

Yes coyotes come in a variety of colors. I've shot and trapped them red, silver, gray, brown, and solid black. We have them everywhere here in Michigan, they are a big nuissance around me.

Are we positive they are not just maggots laid there by a fly?

I'm guessing by the numbers it was more than one yote. And by the looks of the sorry job they did at consuming the birds maybe a mother and her pups, at this time the pups are learning to hunt and alot of times it turns into more of a game than actual eating. Thats how it is this time here in...

Couldn't be good. Even if it can't kill them, it could stress them pretty badly. Pellet gun usually works, far too many stray cats in this world anyhow.
