I will be looking forward to seeing more posts from you. I did not get them from Metzer's though I will be looking into them. My husband ordered mine from Cackle Hatchery. They will be fawn & white! I know I'm going to love them!
I love this thread! My husband has ordered me some Runner ducks for my birthday in May. I should be getting them on May 10th! I'm beyond excited! I'm doing my research and finding out as much information on them as I can. We already own some Khaki Campbell ducks, some Silver Appleyard...
The bantams are separated. My husband is a wonderful coop builder. He builds them and I paint them. That's wonderful about your birds! What kind of ducks do you have? I'll try to post some pics this evening.
Hello all! I'm from Johnsonville SC! My husband and I are really enjoying all of our birds! I haven't been on here in a while, but we're really branching out and learning a lot. We raise quail, chickens, pigeons, and pheasants! Our chicken breeds are silkies, Wyandotte bantams, d'uccle...
I can check into that for you. Do you have an incubator? I'm looking into selling some of the eggs we have. We just really have gotten into raising quail. So I don't have a hatching percentage rate. I'm thinking about collecting some of the eggs we get from our breeders and incubating them...
Thanks about the advice. I have to pick them up to settle them down and actually hold them. They are escape artists and will try to get away. But if I hold them securely ( but not too tight) they'll settle down and fall asleep. What colors do you have?
That's why I would trim them. I'm gonna to have to look into pacing the top of the aquarium I'm making their home. Right now, they're still in the brooder I have for my birds. They're doing well in that. I've started to pet them and hold them so they can get use to my hands.
Can anyone tell me how old button quail need to be before you start trimming their wings??? They are really starting to fly, but I don't want to do too soon!
That's Awesome! We have 7 buttons right now. They are 3 weeks old and a hand full. I'm still learning about them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. What colors are yours?
Hi! My husband decided that he wanted to start raising quail for a food source and we have fallen head over heels in love with doing it. I am so excited to check out and work with my birds everyday. He started it and I completely ran with it. I love all animals anyway and would love to have...
Hello Everyone! I'm from South Carolina. Can anyone tell me when my jumbo should start breeding and laying? They are 12 weeks old. Any knowledge is welcome. My husband and I are still learning, but doing so well. My cortunix are already laying! Yay!
