I've been reading all your posts, as to why people raise quail. I'm really glad I entered this thread! My girlfriend raises quail and wants to trade me some quail. I still have to know more about them, ie: housing, feed, oh, just everything before I can decide. But, I wanted to say "Thanks"...

Hi. I'd like to know your thoughts or experiences. We have 2 pairs of breeding parakeets. Blu & Imy hatched 7 beautiful babies. All but two babies have left the nest. Imy, of course, is starting to lay again. We have another pair of breeding keets, Wally & Polly. They have started their...

Perfect name for a Buff Orp! Those are our favorite chickens and "Sunny" would fit most of our's disposition. What big, gentle, giants, we will never be without them!

I love to hear what kids come up with...it's all so "real" coming from a child. "Peck".....God love it, sounds as innocent as a babe! Great names!

I really like the "old lady" names. Remind me of my first batch of chickens, we had 40 and some of the same names. Good Luck with your ladies!

Hubby and I just bought a small flock! Loving it. We have 25 eggs in the incubator, 4 Cornish X - no names, just 1,2,3,4., two - 4 week old chicks: 1 - Spitzhauben named Bernadette (or Bernie, if it be a boy), 1 - Gold Lace Wyandotte named Maude (or Moe, if it be a boy), and the following...

Aaahhhh! Thanks and I so appreciate your helping me! I had no idea where to begin to do this right. I will try these again, soon! We are sooooo bizzy, as of late. We have 23 chicks that are starting to hatch, as I speak. Four that should be hatched by morning, more hatching out Thurs and...

Thank you for your info. Can I ask how much water to what ratio of lime juice? I am really anxious to try this, just, I'm not sure about the ratios and I don't want to mess up another batch. You say you dip the banana into the water/lime mix. Do you put them in a large strainer spoon to dip...

Beautiful Job!!!!! I love the upholstery fabric and the skirt is soooo cool! Thanks for sharing!

Hey, BBrady, if I may ask.....how did you make your banana chips? Hubby and I tried making a bunch of them and they were a FLOP!!! I'd like to know how you kept them from browning? A friend of ours told us to mist them with lemon juice, which we did and YUK, they tasted horrid and turned dark...

Love those babies!! Hope to have some of my own one of these days! Congrats! They are beautiful!

Oh, Thank you, for bringing this beautiful chicken breed to our attention. What a magnificent looking bird! I am going to go read about them from your post. We are planning to get another bunch of chickens and I'd love to add this one to our coop! Thanks, again!

Thanks so much for the info!! I think I would absolutely have a blast with ducks. I heard there was a lady out in the near countryside who has ducks. I think I will have to go pay her visit. I was told she has quite a menagerie of animals. I'm gonna hogtie hubby and have him go visit her...

Since I know nothing about goats, I just love all these posts. You all have no idea how much I am learning just by following the posts. Just a big Thank You for what you don't know you are doing for me!!!

I forgot to mention that I'd love to know how the geese turn out in the roaster. I don't have a pond, I imagine I'd have to have some baby pools for ducks and geese. And, probably have to have a large closed in pen? Otherwise, won't they fly away? I'll have to study up on them. You...

Hi! I've been reading your posts. I'd love to raise all the animals you do. Maybe I wouldn't have to work for someone else!! I'd be in my element if I could stay home, work with my animals and sell from them. When I had my chickens before we did sell chicks and eggs, just wasn't making...

Oh goodness....I so love this thread, I'm addicted to it!! I have got to get off here for the night but I so don't want too! I have some things to do before I call it a night, so, I will be back on here tomorrow night to read your post. Darnit...I'd like to stay on here. I really appreciate...
