    quail nesting boxes

    I've had bob, cots and buttons, and they all used the nest boxes I gave them. Sometimes they'll lay an egg outside the nest box, but when I check later on, they'll have rolled the egg into the nest with the rest.

    Icelandic Chickens

    I've heard that having a few black spanish turkeys on the yard will deter birds of prey. Apparently they look a lot like vultures to them.

    A Few Days to Hatch, and Still Nothing to Feed Them!

    Another problem with feeding cat food is the lack of vitamin D in it. Cats and dogs are capable of converting vitamin D2 into vitamin D3, so D2 is what cat and dog food contains, as it's cheaper to source.

    More Button babies. *Updated with Pics!*

    I put away my incubator already, but my button Mamas had other ideas. I just had 2 of my pairs hatch out 6 babies each yesterday from setting their own eggs. Who says buttons don't go broody? I'm so happy to have little baby buttons with a Momma to raise them. I always feel bad raising them in a...
