So it seems its moulting time for bobwhites and calis. Seems to have brought grumpy behaviour too? That normal? They aren't massively fighting, just grumpy pecks to all the others!
Our colonies right now. We have 4 little calis and a hybrid to add to the cali/bobwhite colony. But then they will be set. The baby English whites are going in the the jumbos.. They doing the look but not touch bit atm. But looking amazing and we got sooo many eggs this summer!! Can't wait till...
Hey guys, so our bobwhite/cali hybrid is now 7 weeks and settled in well with his mum and dad and family we already have. Took a little more than a week this time. But she has now been accepted. This other little one is coming up for 3 weeks and doing well. Another bobwhite/cali hybrid... More...
So if some of you remember, we posted these cortinex eggs... English whites. I said the orange circled one was different. So we had a great hatch of 5....the weird egg hatched and it was this little beauty!!! The others are yellow, with a touch of brown here and there.. Now turning white. So...
We thought our English white and cali girls were good layers.....till we got the jumbo cortinex!!!! Wow!!!! Some lay 2 a day!! And amazing sized eggs too!! The very first we broke open was a double yolker!!
So after finding out our frodos... A mix between a frog (because of their noise) and a dodo (cause of how dopey they are!) don't fly... We took most of the branches out.. Left some for structure. The last pic is where we are gonna do another run for them to give them more space. Xx
We have done a lovely coop for our cortinex... Put logs in for them to fly around on.. Like the calis... But they aren't using them? Do they not like to go high?
Hey guys. So we have bobwhites that we are going to be introducing to the flock. There are 3 males, 8 females and 4 babies we want to introduce. How do we do this please?

Our quails all grown up and absolutely gorgeous!!! We had 2 bobwhites, but yesterday 1 escaped and hasn't come home yet. Worried he has been eaten though. However we have these beauts still and now we have rehomed the cockerels we have ordered more eggs to expaned our quails. Their beautiful...
So, yesterday we had to say goodbye to our cockerels. We weren't allowed to keep them. Very sad day. But have gone to an amazing g rescue centre that will take care of them!! 😢😢
Hey guys. I am in Harlow Essex UK. We live in a town and there have been complaints to the council about our boys. We have been trying to rehome them. Our big black boy Carlos has already been homed. But now struggling to find homes for the others. They are on an animal rescue adoption site. But...
Hello guys. So at first my boys were crowing in the morning half past 7 and that would be it. Now..... Too many times during the day!! Everytime they get spoken to or they hear noises they start to crow!! It's beginning to become a pain as I'm sure neighbours are gonna start to complain! Is this...
Just had to take some more photos tonight! They are sooo gorgeous! Look at Carlos fuzzy bum! 😂😂😂 Wurzzle, the frazzle is abit naughty with the quails sometimes so we are keeping an eye on him. His abit of a bully, however.... The other chickens don't like him picking on the quails and sort him...
Let the boys have abit of free run today. They are getting used to it now. Quails looking on! Yesterday we let them all out to free range and never ever again! The quails were a nightmare to get back in! Nearly lost 3 in neighbours gardens!!! 😵😵😵😵😵
