I guess not but stay tooned!(:

Yes I was going to do a "study" on it but wanted to reaxh out first as to not just immediately kill three quail or something 😅 Was thinking youngins would be the way to go and just take them on some smaller trips so they can get acclimated while growing to laying age

Definitely not for work lol and a 33ft bluewater sailboat

Sometimes could be two months at sea without stopping due to crossing the ocean. Other long trips (like going down the coast of central america and south) Id be closer to resources so i could pack lighter for them.

Yes definitely considered and keep calculations of weights and distribution. Figured since you can successfully grow fruits and veggies at sail, then quail might also work

So, I cant find anything online about this. Sometimes I'll be at sea for 45 days, a couple months, and hopefully more in the future. I have solid experience with quail in a natural environment, and also in comfortable cages. Could I take three laying hens w me? Id could definitely secure them...

Can I use the hardware mesh instead of buying the expensive fencing? Dont want to quail chewing damaging it/breaking free/hurting themselves trying to. What less costly alternatives are there for putting on up?

In northern Oregon, looking for hatching eggs or live emu in healthy condition.

Im building an aviary for my quail, and was wondering if I could keep some or all of the does with them? If it was big enough? Or would the rabbits eat the quail? Just a thought and figured Id come here with it before putting too much energy into an experiment.

Hey there, Deer Island Oregon here!

No, more like I want to see if they'll all go broody and I can get them a few generations into brooding. I feel the best chance at the highest success rate is the most natural, wild type environment possible. With me bringing food so their short interactions with me are as the food bringer(:

Do you think me bringing the food will be enough of a relationship where they wouldnt be stressed out by my presence when collecting?

Thank you for the response to the egg question-I thought I just wasn't finding them. And I mean I just want them to live a peaceful and natural existence. They'll see me and I'll be the bringer of food, but I want them living their most natural life possible. For the brooding but mostly because...

It's not too cold but I could do a heat lamp(Ill judge that when it's finished. I'll sit in there and read for a while). So you think 4-6 weeks or wait til they're already laying?

I'm building a large aviary for my new flock of coturnix quail. I'm doing a brooding experiment, having my quail hatched by another farmer, and taking them "under my wing". When should I have the newbies move into the aviary? I'm doing a survival of the fittest type beginning, with a hands off...

Maybe a little heat source to keep it toasty, but not too warm?

Building an aviary for my flock of 20 Quail. Thinking of using poly sheets. Any tips/input from folks experienced/successful in laying birds in winter? I have solar lighting for the hours needed for laying through the winter, plenty of space, but am looking for input before I start the actual...
