Im not a fan of Med Feed unless birds are crowded or mingled with other poultry, but clean roomy pens dont promote diseases. Also eating Med meat and eggs cant be good long term. wean before consumption IMO

One of my Female Bobs had been sitting on eggs all year, I didnt think it was consistant enough to hatch, so I kept throwing them out, about 12 at a time so may times i can't count. Well one day I decided to just leave them and see. I played closer attention and soon saw Mr Bob sitting also . I...

Yup 4 BW roosters and 1 chukar

Quail absolutely love clover

1/2 in larber guage if you have potential predators in the area otherwise the smaller gauge would be fine

Coons and snakes would just love it....you could try covering it with half inch hc

Green is male

PS: Cut holes in pots big enough for quail to run thru

For that many bobs id say no less than 3x8 and even then id put some hiding places ( upside down pots, Irrigation pipe sections etc.)inside to help the most picked on get some safety. I have a 3x12 pen with pots scattered around and i have 3 half inch by 6 inch planks running across so that they...

At 2 months old and considering the time of year with the waning day light the bobs might not turn Blood thirsty till the spring. But thats just my theory. How ever when the Spring Daylight hours start to get longer i suspect there will be a lot of mangled Cots. In that small an enclosure even...

It Aint easy just to crack and peel them. It can be done its a slow process and you must keep them in water until you pick them up to Pinch the air sack and peel delicately. Or just soak them in vinegar and the darn things just slide off. just another step in peeling them thats smelly and a...

Higher protien makes them calmer, also bright lights can make them aggressive. try a low watt blue light. and dont crowd. more room more peace. and some mulched grass clippings will keep them busy and not have time for pecking

bbe sure the humidity stays high and and dont try to take them out of the bator onesy twosey. wat till theres a lull in th hatches or you will let the moisture get out and sufficate the late hatches. they can stay in the bator for 12 hours or a little more before removal. i put in a wet WARM...

The first ones that say Grodie, Tubular or Furshure are definetly female... Just kidding i couldnt resist I have no idea

Bob whites will fly off the minute they get a chance. They are seasonal layers under normal conditions. They fight all spring if you have too many roosters. Too many roosters can be noisy. Eggs are great. Meat is far better if you ask me. Beautiful music in early morning and afternoon.

I freeze empty gatorade bottles and sit them in the water bucket around noon every day its projected to get sweltering. Freeze the veggie scraps and toss them in during midday, Frozen bottles work for dogs too just use bigger jugs ala gallon drinking jugs. If you have an extra freezer/ Fridge...

The green circle in question is absolutely a male the white face is a give away

I use a cheap blender i got at a yard sale for just grinding pellets and catfish food (hi protien ). It works great when don 2 cups at a time, close to perfect crumbles on lowest setting using the pulse technicue. A cheap way to save money on feed. Can also make smaller mix for chicks.

Good points at that age they won't start laying till next spring. They cant be crowded in any way when mature. or its gonna be a blood bath. during winter they will live as a group as long as they know each other. but during spring when the breeding kicks in they will fight and have to be...

BW chicks are hard to sex when young. Wait til they start to develop the white markings around the face to tell male from female. As far as giant or not i dont know. Large eggs can mean big chicks i guess. I have jumbo BW and some of my females are larger than some roos. I think its the egg size...
