    Can ducks eat raw eggs?

    I also keep quail and while collecting the quails eggs I found one that chipped. I tossed it (we live on a large property) and the ducks chased it and ate it. They've also gotten into my basket before when I set it on the ground (before I knew they would eat them) and gobbled several up several...

    Quail pulling out own feathers

    When mine are four weeks old they don't have a lot of feathers under their wings. How big is their cage and how many birds? What do you feed them?

    Do you actually see them do it? And where are the feathers locate son their bodies that they're pulling?

    quail not laying

    My feed has the same amount of calcium as yours but it's not enough for strong layers. For mine anyway. If your birds are laying at or close to one egg per day per bird, don't worry about it.

    Will My Ducks Hatch?

    If they're still moving, don't lose hope! Maybe they could be shrinkwrapped?

    quail not laying

    Attention all TEXAS quail folks

    Fellow Texans! I've gotten a lot of "progress" with figuring out how to sell quail eggs to restaurants or grocery stores. I'm also working on exemptions for small farms to sell the meat and sell the eggs. If anyone would be interested in being able to sell the eggs or meat, or if anyone has...

    Mama duck/ duckling advise please!

    My Ancona duck sat on 6 eggs and got three to hatch. She's already squished one. The other two look pretty happy but I haven't seen her let them eat or drink. Can she keep them or should I take them? On another note, I'm getting 20 more ducklings tomorrow. Can they go in the brooder house with...

    I guess at least they're gettin something done so I can try this, but the DSHS lady said we will have to stay on top of it or else it'll get lost and nothing will really come from it. Anyone else in texas that wants to do this kind of thing is welcome to join. Now if we could only get the MEAT...
