    8 week coturnix not laying

    I don’t know how to sext them? I know I have two males that are crowing for sure. One is a wild Coturnix so it’s easy to tell the color. The others are tuxedos and hybrids so I have no idea to tell who is a male. Any tips would help.

    Brooder plate

    Thank you for the info! Do I have to do anything to get them to use it or do they just instinctively know to go under it? How many birds do you think this will work for?

    Free ranging

    hi there, we are expanding our flock of 7 hens by 15 this spring. I would love to start free ranging them, but I’m worried that our hens and 3 ducks who are almost a year old and have lived their whole life in a covered run won’t come back to their coop. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Hey everyone, we are looking to add to our flock. I want a couple different colored Eggers to add to our one Americana left. My main priority is to add breeds that are great layers. In your opinion, what breeds can we get that lay the most eggs? Thanks for the help!
