    A friend called me w/a question and I had no idea what to tell her.... if eggs have been out for 2 or 3 days this week (upper 90degrees) can they be eaten or should they be thrown out?

    Quail for egg production???

    OK, call me crazy. I was reading about the nutritional value of quail eggs and think they would be great to raise for egg production. Is it possible, is anyone doing it? Most info I find is geared toward raising them for eating. I would appreciate any info on this. Thanks! Angel

    How important is light?

    I LOVE this little hen house!! I see it calls for translucent roofing but I'm worried that might be chilly if they go to the top of the roost. I thought about moving the nest boxes to a side wall and putting windows in the front. Opinions...

    Red Sex Link Production

    I have an opportunity to get some RSL pullets next month but don't know much about htem. I think they are crossed w/RIR's most times so should I assume they lay as well? I'm just looking for egg producers...hatching and looks don't matter. Thanks
