Just got my order of quail eggs in the mail! This is the first time i've ever ordered eggs before so im pretty excited. I have a really quick question for you all! There's a note in the box that says- Upon arrival please let the eggs rest 24 hrs. prior to incubation. My question is, do I leave...
So I was in charge of cleaning the emu exibit at a local zoo a couple days ago and found out why everyone hates cleaning the emu exibit, it turns out the male emus try to mate with everyone that goes into there exibits. Its extremely creepy, they start crawling up behind you and making a loud...
I was looking at James Marie farms for some quail eggs to buy and would really love to start with these guys. The main reason I want quail is for eggs, do you guys know how these guys are when it comes to egg laying? Thanks!
Hey guys, while volunteering at the zoo yesterday one of the zookeepers gave me a turtle that someone dropped off at the zoo. We arent quite sure as to what type it is and was wondering if any of you know? thanks =]
I am in the process of building an aviary and was wondering if quail were loud? I assume they are quieter than chickens would be but dont want to rush into buying them if i am just gonna have to rehome them because they keep waking the neighbors up at 3 in the morning. Thanks for the help! =]
I was at the flea market yesterday and found a man selling an assortment of pigeons, and had to buy this lil'guy! I never realised how cool pigeons were until now, I am excited to go and buy some more! Being a nooby to pigeons I was wondering if you guys could help me out by telling me what type...
The local zoo has a duck that has been laying eggs but they aren't sure what duck has been laying so they gave me an egg and asked if i'd like to hatch it. Naturally i said yes and put it in my incubator. Yesterday it finally pipped! Im excited to finally see what this lil'guy is! The...
Okay so recently I've had to rehome my two female ducks because of all the noise they made in the morning. It was pretty depressing because I enjoy my ducks, and like collecting eggs everyday. I was wondering if anybody had a video of what a female muscovy sounds like. I know of a place about an...
So I am going to be out camping in a couple days and was wondering how it would affect the eggs not being turned for a day? I'll turn them right before I leave, which will be sometime in the afternoon, and then right when I get home the next day, which will be sometime at night. Last time I...
For the past few days something has been cracking open the eggs my duck lays and just kinda leaves. Now today when I was checking up on my ducks I saw a squirrel in their pen, could he be the egg cracking culprit? I cant think of a reason why a squirrel would want to eat an egg but I havent seen...
Hey, I just recently recieved a larger incubator than my previous one and was wondering where the cheapest place to order fertile duck eggs was? Hatching out ducklings is something that I think would be quite a fun experience and I would love it if someone could point me in the right direction...
As I was out feeding the ducks this morning I noticed that hidden in the plants was a duck egg! My ducks have never laid before so naturally I was pretty excited. Over the past few days my male duck has been giving my female duck A LOT of attention and I believe there is a pretty good chance...
So I've had my ducklings for a little over two months now and I've really enjoyed watching them grow up and go about their daily routines. What worries me is that people say that there is no such thing as a quiet duck ( except for the muscovy which I do not have) and I live within city limits...
So I was at the flea market the other day and I happen to come across this duck that I instantly fell in love with and I had to buy him, when I asked the guy what type of ducks his parents were he said that he wasnt sure. is there any chance one of you guys might know what types of duckies were...
