    Bobwhite basics

    I am soon (a few weeks) going to be the overwhelmed recipient of 40-60 bobwhite quail chicks. I have been putting the basics together, mainly brooding equipment, but still understand very little about the finer points of raising quail. I am a build it yourself, strong so it lasts kind of...

    Chicks/Juveniles wanted in East Tennessee

    Duck injury. Penicillin?

    My pekin duck was attacked by something the other night and escaped, she does not like to be put up for the night. She has three small holes about the diameter of a pencil.
