My small town has never had a livestock or poultry ordinance. In the last year several more people in town decided to raise poultry due to the current world situation. Now the town is implementing a livestock ordinance without a grandfather clause. (They are not legally required to provide a...

Since you have heat in the coop I would say no but that’s me. I don’t heat my coop because everything I have read has said if you heat and lose power that’s when they get cold, sick and die. We’ve been in the teens and single digits during the day and lows in the singles and negatives for over 2...

🤔 thank you

I’ve used my incubator once months ago and cleaned it before I stored it. Just pulled it out, cleaned it and plugged it in to warm up to put eggs in and it smells like mold coming from the fan?! It’s the HHD 12 egg. How in the heck can you clean inside the fan and mechanisms and not completely...

Two separate for two groups

I’m planning to turn my old duck coop into a two story quail hutch. Right now the quail are in my shed in a temporary enclosure while I convert this. It’s 58” wide and 42” tall. I’m worried about snakes being able to get in through the ribs on the metal siding. I plan to take the metal off of...

My first creations

I’ve lost one button and two coturnix

Coturnix and button, around 3-4 months old

My enclosure is in my shed with wind blockage and well ventilated. But it’s a permanent built in set up so I can’t just move it inside.

My quail are not doing so hot with our lows being in the 20s the last week. I’ve lost 3 in 4 days. The only thing I could put them in inside the house is a reptile terrarium. Has anyone ever used one?

They will be filled with home canned goods and hand made soaps and scrubs.

Yes, I’ve seen people make tote bags and aprons, looking for other ideas.

I’ve been saving my feed bags to make Christmas gifts. I plan to make tote bags and aprons. Anyone have any other items hey make or can suggest? Thanks

She is doing great! 🙌 She is going to be a house chicken for a little while longer to be sure

I double checked her crop and throat with no success. Went ahead and gave her a dose of antibiotics. It’s been two hours since I gave her the shot and she already sounds 80% better. No more gurgling when breathing, only a little gurgling when talking. She is snuggled in to her inside the house...

I have no idea how to do all of that.
