    Question for owning quail in california

    That can't be right I live in la county and know a shop that sells quails as pets, along with other birds like ducks and chickens. I think the shop is close to bellflower, ca. I'm not sure what the breed is though.

    How old was the oldest egg you've ever cooked?

    The oldest I've eaten at room temp is probably two days. But I'm sure eggs can be good for a month at room temp because of natural barriers, but I have the extra fridge space so I don't need to risk it. Plus I'm a microbiologist and I've seen how quick mold and bacteria can grow at room temp...

    Aggressive Male Peking Duck

    As bad as it sounds I think you have to fight the duck and show him you are alpha. When my drake was acting up I pinned him to the ground and held him until he calmed down. He stayed away for a while, but I gave him some table scraps as a peace treaty and now he follows me around sometimes.

    Hen got da jungle fever... What do?

    Why bother? If your hen doesn't start laying eggs in the nesting box and you can't find her eggs. She's just another mouth to feed. I'd eat her before she runs away. Unless that other roosters flock joins yours, my recommendation would be dinner. You can't go wrong with a full stomach.

    Hen came after me! Question:

    Not sure, but sometimes my hens are moody. One day they'll follow me around and another day they'll be terrified if I walk by. Could be a bad day, maybe you need more bonding time.

    Roosters crow at night???

    If you stick a snug collar on him, it'll quite down his crows and may stop him. I think they sell something on mypetchicken.com.

    Should work, they'd drink from anything. But I'd worry about them getting the water dirty and clogging the pump.

    Do you think it is wrong to feed chickens chicken scraps?

    Sometimes I feel bad about giving the birds chicken left overs but when I think about it, they always have access to their layers feed and can free range to find bugs, but they usually choose to eat the left over chicken. So I'm not forcing them, it's by the chickens choice to eat chicken. :p

    I voted both but when I think about my wallet, the chickens lay eggs every other day and the turkey has a bottomless pit of a stomach. but I like the personality of both birds.
