Is anyone near me? (South Florida east coast west palm beach area) that would want to trade a boy for a girl or let me come buy and pick up a few girls. I think when I bought my three baby quails two months ago they were boys! No eggs and I'm guessing that's why!!! Haha is there a way to sex them?
Ok down in south Florida where cold is RARE. So in saying that, I have three hens, three muscovy and three quail. It will go down to 30's tonight. Should I do anything to keep them from freezing to death ...if they are going to in the first place?
Yes I have a fairly large coop that I will release them to once they are done with brooding. Then I will wait until they lay their spring eggs (if female) and then introduce them to their new pond where many other mallards and flock are. Or better yet find someone local who will want.
That's what I thought. I guess I can release them after a few weeks of nurture? They're not really liking us lol. Very scared of us. Anyhow, I'll do my research but wondering if they lay pretty well? Maybe we will keep. But at this point just wanting them to be healthy and pretty!
I Just adopted 3 ducklings from the pet store. Someone found the dead mother and her ducklings and surrendered the ducklings to my feed store. Can anyone tell me what type of duck this is? Thanks!!
Ok now I'm feeling dumb. HA. Yes, i get it now. Thats so sad. Ok so my coop would be WAY to high for them. I am thinking of trying to keep them in the smaller chicken coop with the ramp. Are they community birds? They like to live in groups? I think it was mentioned 1 bird per 1 sq foot right?
Do they go up the ramp? This is similar to what I have within my run as well. It was used for my chickens. But was thinking of using it for my quail only with the chickens just using the covered run. Because that would be ideal.
SORRY IM LEARNING HOW TO DO THIS CORRECTLY (replying to right persons etc)

I have a 10ft x 10ft chicken coop with about 7 foot in height. It's fairly large. Inside of that space I have a standard sized chicken coop with a nesting box built into the frame. I am thinking of getting quail and hens. Thinking of keeping the quail inside of the chicken coop and the...
Thanks! I know right. My coop is up and finally able to be housed by some beautiful ladies. I was thinking mixing ducks and chickens. Need to do some more research but honestly I need to figure out HOW TO USE THIS WEBSITE PROPERLY. Because I feel so lost on it! Totally not a blogger or threader...
