    Coturnix.....dark meat question

    So I have seen on the forums that Coturnix have dark meat. I have had bobs before, and they were mostly white. By dark meat, do you mean like dark meat on a chicken, or do you mean like dark (really dark) meat that is on a dove? I like both, just want to clarify before I get into coturnix...

    Another mating question (New Hampshire Red's if it matters)

    I bought some New Hampshire Reds (day olds) from a local guy a few months ago. My plan was to make a flock of birds for egglaying and to produce our meat chickens (so we weren't always buying chicks). The other thread on frizzle inbreeding or linebreeding got me wondering about my chickens'...

    The time is upon me!!

    I take eggs out of the turner tonight and lay them on the wire in my LG. We are at day 20. I cannot supervise this 24 hours a day because I work. Will I be able to just check them in the morning, and when I get home from work, or is that too long for them to remain in the LG? Since I can't...

    Will turkey grower work?

    The mill that I am buying out chicken feed at does not have quail or wild bird feed, but they do have turkey starter/grower that is 30% protein. Would it work for bobwhites?

    Gotta get ready, 12 days left.

    So I'm a procrastinator, I can't help it. I am about 12-14 days from my potential hatch. I have 129 quail eggs in the incubator. My ultimate goal is to have a setup that will allow me to process birds to eat, and have some layers that will replenish the stock. I am going to make a closed...

    Can you candle quail eggs?

    I am 8 days into my first incubation experience and I see a lot of posts on the chicken forums about candling the eggs to check the progress. Can you candle quail eggs? They are geogia giant bobwhites, so the eggs are white.

    buttercups by mistake

    My father bought some chicks at TSC and thought he was buying dual purpose birds. We noticed the double comb early on and have lately found out they appear to be buttercups. Now, don't get me wrong, they are interesting looking little creatures, but we are raising mainly standard sized...

    Hello from Alabama
