    I have a few specific questions not covered in the 101 or elsewhere please

    Hi, I raise chickens in the city right now so cannot keep extremely loud birds due to close neighbors but do have one rooster with a no crow collar and it's fine and good. I have been around guineas before but never hatched, brooded nor raised them. I have experience with coturnix quail as well...

    Which turning ring for Lyon Turn-X TX7 and Quail?

    I have a used TX7 on the way and will be incubating quail in it. My question is which turn ring should I get for my quail? I see that there is one that will do 48 and another that also over laps the quail egg size to do 72. Which do I get? I would of course like as many eggs as possible but can...

    Fermented Feed Questions

    Hi, I've been feeding my quail fermented feed for 3 weeks now and they seem to be doing great on it until just recently. These are 4 and 6 week old birds. I am noticing more "runny" poop now though and the odor is getting pretty bad, whereas it wasn't so smelly the first two weeks of fermented...

    Outdoor Incubator: Can it be done?

    Hi, I asked this many moons ago on here and did not get an answer so I'm bringing it up again. Does any company, whether it be a cabinet or stryofoam type incubator, make one that can function in the garage where temps may fluctuate 10 degrees or more? How about high temps in the 90's? Low temps...

    Are Geese out of season right now?

I have been perusing the online hatcheries and classifieds hoping to see some available eggs to hatch but all the online hatcheries say out of stock or sold out for 2014. Do geese have a laying season similar to...

    Outdoor or garage incubators???

    I'm off on my first incubator adventure with a freebie little giant 'bator and already want to get another batch going! I have some questions about a future incubator purchase and location of the incubator. Right now I am "borrowing" the bottom of the closet that is in the room that will belong...

    Did I just ruin my eggs?

    Ok, my very first time incubating eggs, coturnix to be specific and my temp got too high:( I'm using a little giant still air with turner that was given to me for free as my incubator. I put the eggs in last night about 11pm and all was well. I checked this morning before work and at 6am the...

    Texas Pioneers

    Hi, I'm searching for breeders that have the Texas Pioneers available as I've been unable to find any. I contacted the Texas Pioneer association and talked to a lady in Arizona who could send me some in October but of course I don't want to wait that long. Also attempted contact with a breeder...

    New Backyard Recruit

    Yep, I just joined up and wanted to say howdy to the gang here. I'm looking to raise something in my backyard (in city limits) that will provide eggs and meat for my family and I. Chickens are too noisy and cannot have any roosters in town. Was thinking of pigeons, quail, chukar, dove....etc...
