    Naughty chickens

    So, lately two hens refuse to come when called from free roaming (always the same two). The other four come and enter the run when called, and receive corn as a treat.

    Training

    Anyone have success training their quail? I was hoping to train them to come, and become more comfortable with handling so I can catch illness/infection in early stages. Litter training would be nice. It would keep my basement tidy when I’m cleaning their cage.

    Introducing new birds

    Hi from Nova Scotia

    Hello everyone! This is my first time owning poultry, although I watch my friends chickens while they are away. So, I decided to go with smaller birds for myself, and acquired some quail. Super cute birds, they are currently living in my basement, in a very large dog kennel. I am planning on...
