    BBW Turkey Question

    I have been buying meat turkey culls from a high school student that will be showing this year. We are planning on slaughtering the turkeys when they get older, but we noticed a problem with 4 of them when we picked up our last batch. They have large fluid-filled sacks on their breast just under...

    "Micro-eggs" attached to normal egg?

    Kinda looks like insect eggs... Maybe because the egg was cracked...? Weird.

    Chick Won't Stand Up

    I just got my chick order of 30 today from Murray Mcmurray and I'm having the same issues with a couple of my chicks not standing. I had three DOA in the box and I called and they said they guarauntee them for up to 48 hours and to call back on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning with a total...

    New Way to watch an Embryo Grow Try#4 (Last Video)

    This sounds really interesting! I will have to follow along with this experiment! I was actually going to suggest the kordon breather bags for fish, but it looks like you found them on your own! What breed of chicken is it from? Good luck!! I'm tempted to try this myself! My eggs keep getting...

    dumb Quail Question.

    I was just joking around, but the "visually sexing" means they have no colored breast feathers that distinguish males from females. I have never tried to vent sex quail before. I mainly raise browns but there have been a few of my other colors that i have had to beer sex once they got old enough.

    Anyone ever try the dry hatch method before?

    I have done dry incubation in my homemade incubator. I just add water at the end in a pan i have under the eggs. Sometimes sponges too or wet papertowels. I use my LG and turner now and i keep it around 100 degrees F. When i dry incubated in my homemade bator, i would keep the eggs in an egg...

    DIY Egg Washer!! Too EASY!

    Cool! Thanks for clearing that up for me! I always wondered about it and was just told 'no, don't wash them.' Maybe I'll try it with this next batch I'm going to put in.

    Anyone ever try the dry hatch method before?

    Quote: So, You are saying that you are having lots of luck dry-incubating your QUAIL eggs? Like I said, I am still experimenting with my quail, this is the biggest batch I have tried. I have had 14 hatch so far and they are still trying to hatch, I think. One thing I would have changed about...

    DIY Egg Washer!! Too EASY!

    Thanks! No, probably not. I don't wash eggs if I am going to incubate them. I've heard it destroys the bloom. Mine usually have sand on them, because my quail like to lay in their sandboxes, and I don't even brush that off for fear of scratching the eggs.

    DIY Egg Washer!! Too EASY!

    Anybody else sell quail/chicken eggs to eat and get tired of washing your eggs by hand? I did, so i found this video on youtube of a homemade egg washer and my dad and I built one! Here is what it looks like! I just add dishwasher detergent (so it doesn't foam), add warm water to cover...

    Need help w/quail waterer and feeder

    When mine are chicks, I use small animal water bottles like you would give to a rabbit. When I put them out into the barn, they drink out of my rabbit automatic watering system because they live in rabbit cages. (I don't raise rabbits anymore, but I still have the plumbing and cages in.) They...

    Do Any of You Believe This?

    Hmmm... I just know they taste good when I pickle them. Haha! I also made some pretty good quiche with them! Spinach, and mushrooms, and onions, oh my! I made mini ones and froze them. The nutritional differences make sense to me, like you said, they are different animals than chickens.

    Do Any of You Believe This?

    Read this link about quail eggs... http://www.ehow.com/list_6671158_benefits-quail-eggs_.html I am pretty skeptical of things like this, but I find it interesting. Any thoughts?

    How high can a chicken fly?

    Depends on how hard you kick it! J/K! (unless it's a floggin' rooster!) My Silkies can't fly, but my EEs like to roost on the 6ft chain link fence! Some nights they would rather be out there than in the coop, so I have to chase them back in...they hate it when I do that. Haha!
