I prefer to keep them off wire, especially during winter. -

Hi! The henhouses have treated wooden floors. Then painted with a safe paint. I only have strong-gauge wire beneath the roosts. During winter, the openings are covered with sheets of wood to keep cold air out. It's easy to push the droppings through with a push-broom. The henhouses are... -

I would really like to hear about any interesting Bobwhite experiences! How are your Bobwhites fairing during this awful cold snap, up here in the North? Toffee, his daddy Tiffer, and Tieri (Toffee's female Gambel Quail companion) are all doing quite well together. Tiffer's leg has healed... -

Thank you! Toffee (in the avatar) is 100% housebird since he hatched. He has a huge house to explore, and favorite rooms to hang-out in, so he's a happy little sweetie. Never outside, but he loves to sit on the windowsills and look outside. He has two other quail to hang-out with. -

My oldest Bobwhite roo (Tiffer) is nearly 5. Limps from a leg injury, but he is doing great otherwise. He lost his lifemate last autumn, so I brought him inside to see if he would bond with my Gambel female. My younger quail were also beginning to shun him from the covey. I knew I was taking a... -

The longest lifespan of any of mine, so far, is going on 5 (Toffee's Daddy), and he's still very healthy (aside from the injury to his leg.... walks with a little limp). I have a female Gambel that is almost 7 and still quite active. I wish you ALL the Best! -

I am very sorry to hear. :( Toffee's Mum passed away last autumn. I have his father inside with him now, because Daddy Bobwhite has no mate now and is no longer accepted that well within the covey. I have a huge cage setup inside, for Toffee, Tiffer, and Tieri (my female Gambel). They all do... -

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your little ones being lost. I can tell you, that I started Toffee on Chick Starter feed and boiled eggs. Once he was adult, I began Game Bird crumbles and parakeet seeds for a treat. I hope that your next babies do well. Don't forget that it's also so important... -

Hi, Well, all I really did to train Toffee to go on piddle pads was placing paper towels in the areas I wanted to teach him to go to. I waited until he was fully-feathered, before I first began doing it. I also placed little dishes with water and seeds nearby each training area. I kept... -

Pidgy here! My Toffee is still quite the little "KING of the CASTLE"! It is 2015, and he is still with me. I recently brought his father inside due to leg injury. He also lost his mate about 6 weeks prior. So, Toffee has the chance to spend time with him and my female Gambel Quail, but he... -

Do you mind me asking what happened with your little girl? I saw the "we will miss you" item on your instagram. I really enjoyed seeing the photos! Pidgy -

I have been away from BYC for awhile, so I hope your little one is doing well. If you read some of my replies, etc, it will give you a good idea as to how you can raise your little one by reading my experience with my Toffee. Let me know how it went! Pidgy -

Hello, fellow Bobwhite Mum, Sorry for the very late reply, but I have not checked BYC in awhile. Congratulations on having your sweet little Omelette! My Toffee is the best avian pet I have ever had. He is extremely spoiled, as well. Yes, I do purchase his flight suits from Avian...
