Bobwhite Quail can make excellent house pets.
Hi! The henhouses have treated wooden floors. Then painted with a safe paint. I only have strong-gauge wire beneath the roosts. During winter, the openings are covered with sheets of wood to keep cold air out. It's easy to push the droppings through with a push-broom. The henhouses are... -

I would really like to hear about any interesting Bobwhite experiences! How are your Bobwhites fairing during this awful cold snap, up here in the North? Toffee, his daddy Tiffer, and Tieri (Toffee's female Gambel Quail companion) are all doing quite well together. Tiffer's leg has healed... -

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your little ones being lost. I can tell you, that I started Toffee on Chick Starter feed and boiled eggs. Once he was adult, I began Game Bird crumbles and parakeet seeds for a treat. I hope that your next babies do well. Don't forget that it's also so important...
