I have one who is doing this... just started this week. Mine are Black Australorps. Between the 6 hens they are laying 4-6 eggs per day in winter. I am blown away!

Where did you purchase your first quail?

I had Nigerian Dwarf goats for almost 7 years... loved it! We chose names differently each time... sometimes carrying on the lineage... sometimes based on a country the goat breed was from... sometimes based on how they looked. Here are some of them: Ferdinand, Sunny, Diamond Rock, Wetherly...

Thank you! I’m just a little nervous about the Muscovy drakes... heard they are very possessive and can be unpleasant. I’m also thinking of having a couple of hens and thought the smaller drake might be safer in that regard. I’m not worried about the babies being sterile... but I didn’t...

Oh! I was going to get a drake for ducklings... so maybe I should get 5 duck hens and a drake. Would that be enough? If not, I can try to get 6 duck hens and a drake =). I was thinking an Indian runner drake because they are on the smaller side, right? Or is there a breed of drake that tends...
