hi bycers
ever since i joined on january i been noticing something to be addressed. many rural/sub-urbanites from such communities seem to have this negative prejudice about nyc people and what we know about animals/bird/etc. a lot of the same comments in variations like :"what do them city...
loneoak and to all similiar-thinking folk:
first off, have you been to nyc and met the GIGANTIC chicken-keeping communities in brooklyn,bronx, upstate, and long island? and exotic animal keepers everywhere here?? YALL aint the only people good at most things. in nyc we are a very intelligent ...
u can tape the cups from egg cartons to the egg holders and that should be fine. when you wanna do huge amounts of coturnix, the quail rails are great, like $20 shipped from ebay
first you have to look at your equipment. what you already have, and what youre gonna need before setting eggs and after hatch. what kind of incubator is it and its operating condition. check if you have the fan, auto egg turner(universal or quail rails-either is fine), and hygrometer. put these...
my second batch of quail i hatched from eggs of my own flock produced 3 roos. theyre 4 weeks old+ and are crowing and the bigger one is starting to peck. i got someone to pickup fertile eggs and i just might give her a roo. gonna get an unrelated roo to prevent inbreeding. thank you for...
this exact thing happened when i added 3 females to the two pairs i have. a few days later i found the smaller of the two roos barely standing with both eyes GONE. blood all over. the bigger roo(bruce the male on my pics) did this! had to send him to my large boa to end him quickly.
hey which part no. and where to buy the nipple? howd you affix the nipple to the bottle? how can i run a line from the container with the nipple if the bottle was placed outside the cage? thanks for info good luck!
yes, the 1602n is very good for starters and i have it with the fan, hygrometer,candler, universal auto turner all for $128. i got quail rails on the way. set it on a draft free spot-DO NOT keep opening/closing constantly the bator during incubation. add your water through the vent hole with an...
just hatched out 9 of 12 last week, got another 30+eggs ready to go into the bator(hovabator 1602n) tonite. been collecting the eggs(all laid by my own flock) for almost 2 weeks. hope to get another decent hatch rate, my third batch. running out of room in my apartment, gotta build more cages!
hey nadeerah! i live in the bx. you can read ALL of my posts on jumbo coturnix as i was exaclty where you are just barely 2 mos ago. i chart every bit of my progress i did exaclty what you want to do, rescuing jumbos from my local poultry shop. my flock of 1 male and 4 females are clean and...
