    Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

    I had some questions... Oz, do you have any health issues with weather and the chickens? Obviously you don't have to worry about freezing weather or anything, but do you have to worry about rain getting the chickens wet, or humidity levels, heat, parasites, etc.? I noticed in some pics of...

    Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

    So I have been away from this thread for awhile and have been catching up on posts...only 107 to go...and I came upon the pics of your huge professional looking incubators. I was very impressed, let me tell you! But then I remembered that you (or someone else here?) mentioned losing power...

    Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

    Whew! Finally finished reading all the posts, and what a cool story! I am a 3-small-quail person myself, due to space constraints, but one day I will have a flock of chickens such as you have Never. Seen. Before! Maybe it will even have an ocean view, who knows? But for now, I enjoy hearing...

    Supplementing diet with boiled egg

    HI! I am still pretty new to quail raising - this is my first year with them. I have this one coturnix who I noticed had lost a little weight. She has been laying eggs even though I have reduced her light a bit, so I thought it might be from that. I got her some new crumbles with more...

    oats for brooder bedding - your thoughts please

    My button and coturnix quail REALLY enjoy eating the corn cob pellets I tried, but it was easier than most bedding types to spot-clean, which I do with my button quail. They also loved to dig around in it. I'm still trying out different types occasionally. Once I tried the king soopers...
