I know this post was a few years ago, but I was curious if you can elaborate on what you said by you had to notch the J Channel? Considering something like this. It would be much nicer than the blue tarp we currently have.
For now I work in hoover. So shelby county is not far from where I work. When I asked, I wasn't necessarily talking about now. I don't even have a pen built. Still trying to figure that out. How big i want to go, how I want to build it etc. My wife works in hoover as well so not that big of a...
Well we have soccer Saturday and Sunday's through the end of may. I don't know if there will be a spring season for us next year. My stuff around the house has been seriously curtailed since this started. We are on spring break too and I refuse to go to practice because there is no game this...
Huntsville is not too far. But with kids playing soccer and what not, I barely have time to leave the house for anything other than that and work. Hoping this summer I can get out and check out a few things. Really would like to meet folks that are breeding the quail and see their set ups etc...
Springville would be great. I am looking for the Coturnix and maybe some A&M's. If you can remember who it was please let me know. Springville is only about 10 miles from me so that would be most convenient.
Since you live in texas, do some research on Black Soldier Fly larva. I have two biopods that I intend to start up this summer and will grow thousands. I can take those and feed them, they are high in protein and I can freeze them for a tasty protein treat during the winter too. Take advantage...
Well luckily I got ahold of my local bob white hatchery and he is only asking 40 cents per bird. At that price I can afford to get the 100. The online hatcheries are crazy expensive to get that many birds. Hopefully once I get them brooded and up to adult size I can get them rolling and then try...
Really just looking for a breed that is a good layer. If I can get them to lay, once I feel comfortable I can do the incubator for more. I just can't justify 100 birds without knowing if they will lay good or stink or if I will like them at all. I stand a better chance at raising 25 and selling...
I have a local producer 20 miles from the house. However, they are telling me I have to order a minimum of 100. This is a gamebird producer and I want them for a different reason. I have NEVER had that many birds and until I feel comfortable with them, I am not sure I want that many. I have...
Those that are incubating. Where did you get your original first batch of birds. I am trying to figure out why hatcheries want a run of 100. I want to start back this summer but was thinking of like 25 to start.
I have purchased all mine online through large hatcheries. I no longer have chickens and I am considering a move to quail since they are smaller birds.
