    Can us people buy uk eggs & just have them shipped?

    You'll need to check with customs but I think eggs are ok, live birds may need to be quarantined for awhile.

    Tips on getting Game Wardens on the ball?

    Quote: There are 2 reasons for the coyote attacks...New Jersey and New York. Restrictive hunting and gun laws = problems with animals. Coyotes will attack people under certain circumstances: 1. rabid 2. starving 3. backed into a corner with no escape route

    Tips on getting Game Wardens on the ball?

    You might want to point out to the GW that when coyotes attack people and to some extent horses then there is something wrong, either they are rabid or are extremely starving. I grew up hunting and trapping coyotes and that is not natural behavior for them. Have you considered buying some traps...

    Valley, gambel,or blue scaled quails

    You need to wait until spring when they start laying, if you get any eggs right now they probably won't hatch very well.

    They're all gone now

    Sorry about your birds, misery loves company and unfortunately some people have too much time on their hands and not enough pleasure in their life so they look to make others miserable so as to somehow relieve their own pain. I say call the city regarding the setback because she obviously wants...

    Irresponsible Neighbor

    I agree with talking to the neighbor and calling DFG. Most city slickers don't realize that by feeding bears they are dooming them to termination. Bears that become accustomed to getting food from people have to be destroyed by DFG or AC. They might try and relocate them once but usually not.

    Anyone ever have problems in Santa Ana, CA?

    Quote: Usually the 100' or other long distances are for the city to say they "allow" chickens but in effect outlaw them.

    Two legged predator !!! how to stop the person...

    I would call the police and file a report and also let them know that there are squatters in that barn that are growing and selling drugs. The idea of waiting in the coop with a shotgun sounds good. I had some local gang bangers try to break into my car one night and after I came out of the...

    Hay. How old is to old?

    Quote: Sounds like good advice, if it isn't moldy and musty smelling then is is ok to use. Hay should ideally be used within a year of cutting but only because it will lose nutrients over time. If it looks smells ok then it is fine to use.

    Ignorant about Quail, Why do people have them, hunting?

    I have several different species and types of quail. They are just for fun, I like the variety. I have coturnix, bobwhite, blue scale, african harlequin and gambels. The coturnix are pretty friendly and it can be soothing to go sit out in their aviary and just watch them. Also, there are several...

    Please help!

    Whoever writes I would mention that a dozen chickens create much much less (and less odor) than say 3 dogs and less noise. Plus the manure can be used in gardens (recyclable) where dog and cat feces cannot. They are also great at managing bug problems without harsh chemicals. Also they will eat...

    Bad Dogs! *big frown*

    Dogs are unpredictable around other animals (especially chickens), we have two small dogs (chihuahua and sheltie/pomeranian). The chihuahua was fine around the chickens after some training but when I got 2 new chickens they ran from him and his instinct kicked in, he didn't try to kill them but...

    How much for Mexican speckled quail?

    I have both mexican speckled bobwhites and manchurian (italian) golden coturnix, so yes they are bobwhites if they are mexican speckled, they are easy to tell apart. The snowflake (white and black mexican speckled) are rare and command a high price.

    Introducing to pet dogs

    My wife and kids have a chihuahua and a sheltie. The sheltie took to the chickens right away and likes to play with them, they just chase him and give him warning pecks. The chihuahua has chased a few chickens but we kept an eye on him and admonished him for chasing the chickens and made sure we...
