    Electric Fence Noob - Need Tips

    Thanks. I'm debating on the netting kind vs. just stringing three lines of wire. I will only have the electric charge going through at night time as predators aren't causing problems during the day. I will be doing something similar in terms of disabling it for me to get in there and do what I...

    Electric Fence Noob - Need Tips

    Hi there! I'm super worried about the safety of my quail in their new coop/run. I have put hardware cloth all the way around on the sides, put out a skirt of 15" of hardware cloth around the entire thing with rocks on it, and even have 2 layers of hardware cloth underneath the entire thing held...

    Electric Fence for Quail Aviary

    Hi there! Looking for recommendations for electric fence to run along the outside of my quail aviary. I've never used electric fence for my poultry before, but I want to ensure that no predators get these tiny birds. Any suggestions, tips, etc. are greatly appreciated. I have a quail aviary...

    Adding in 2 or 3 more females?

    For real. I am already a victim of chicken math with my chickens and my turkeys. I just love having birds in my life.

    Adding in 2 or 3 more females?

    Okay. Thanks. I'm just keeping them as pets and for eggs. The space for them is 3x6. I've only had the 2 for a day. I'm hoping to add the new ones in this week so the disputes should be minimal. I can add them in at night too.

    Adding in 2 or 3 more females?

    Hi Friends! I just adopted a pair of coturnix quail (1 male and 1 female) and I want to add in some more hens. Would it be best to add in 2 or 3 more females? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

    New Broad Breasted Turkey Hen - Tips?

    Thanks for your response. I'll get that Game Bird feed. I've been giving my turkeys Flockraiser Crumbles, but I can switch them all over to Game Bird feed. She has some branches for roosts currently. Once I add them all together in the run, I will put a hay bale in the run as an additional...

    New Broad Breasted Turkey Hen - Tips?

    Hello Friends! I've added a white broad breasted turkey hen to our flock (Boo) so now we have 4 turkeys: 1 Bourbon Red hen, 1 Royal Palm hen, 1 Royal Palm Tom and Boo. They are past the quarantine stage at this point and are still doing the next to each other but separated lifestyle. The...

    Integrating new turkey hen(s) to small flock

    Hello. Well, we added a new turkey to our flock. After quarantine, she is in the run with our other turkeys now behind a metal exercise pen fence and netting. The other turkeys can see her and they've been interacting at the barrier. A little bit of aggression since today was Day 1, but nothing...

    4 Week Old Baby Crevecoeur Chick Breathing Heavy

    Unfortunately, our little one didn't make it. She continued to fail to thrive. We did everything we could for her, but she ended up passing away. It's the first time we've lost a chick. It was hard, but I know we gave her a good life while we could. Our other 3 chicks are all thriving and...

    Integrating new turkey hen(s) to small flock

    Hello Friends! I'm considering adding a new hen or two to my existing small turkey flock. I currently have 1 Tom and 2 hens. Any pointers? I've integrated chicks and chickens many many times. This would be my first time with turkeys. Is it similar? What can I expect? Should I even bother? Thanks.

    Can I use one of these for quail? *Photo in thread*

    Okay. Thanks. Yes, I've heard of people who have quail that go up ramps and even use similar coops but I didn't know for sure.

    Can I use one of these for quail? *Photo in thread*

    I know that in all likelihood they wouldn't even use the coop and would probably only use the bottom portion. I could remove the ramp and that would make for a more open space at the bottom. I could use the coop as storage or eventually make some adjustments to see if they would go up there. Let...

    Adding in a 4-5 week old chick with other 4-5 week old chicks

    I was thinking it would be easier with younger chicks. I've raised many chicks over the last 5 years and integrated them in with other birds at different times with different ages. I've never done chicks with chicks though. I get what you are saying about staggering ages. I currently have 9...
