dont use them... Just buy local on craigslist or order from a reputable mail order shop.

my scovies kick out the bad eggs on their own

where are you located?

try renaming it

I assume you are aiming for just a few buttons? You can feed them chick starter. I used to give mine turkey starter (unmedicated). I dont think there is any need to buy expensive game bird feed for anything but maybe chicks and even then it not an absolute necessity. In my experience if it...

Maybe try candling his stomach?

Better question is how long do drakes live as from what I've seen those are the same #s at least up to 8-9ish years.

I once raised a chicken in a large glass cage less than 2 yards from my bed and although i only played with it as a baby it still thought it was human once it was full sized and put out to pasture. If there were ever a bird i would be okay with treating as a dog it would be raised this way...

I don't think the Amish people have non USPS contact info. That said find your nearest Amish guy preferably with any pigeons at all and ask them, as I assume they have better networking with each other than we do with them.

I read that emu eggs need to be incubated sideways and turned 360 but the emu egg sized turning trays are only in the standard configuration and dont do 360. Because of this most places say to hand turn but i know this is something where will lack consistency. So i was wondering if a gas station...

Does anyone have experience with or advice on to give regarding any of these incubator types. Any other comments or thoughts would be appreciated also. I dont need something huge just big enough to fit a fair amount of ratite eggs in, I wont be doing mass hatches of smaller birds, no more than...

I have a emu hatched and raised by papa emu this spring for sale or trade. He (gender unknown) wasn't human socialized much so wont be a great pet. Preferably i would trade for another young male emu, rhea hen, or eggs. I can also consider other trades just make a suggestion but i would like a...

Agreed we are to be a good steward of creation, that means ore than just keep it alive.

other than disease yes so be ready for that lose in the event that your chickens are under cover with something.

I kept blue scales near chickens in a single wall cage inside my free range yard for several years without problems.

you are correct it was wrong of me to use that term. What i meant was someone who keeps animals but is not concerned about the individual experience each one has, instead they are just curious to see what can and cannot be done. For example lets say a person has a large bator and hundreds of...

also i would make the quail live only in the inner run for a while first.

You WILL lose some, but if you are an agriculture person instead of an animal lover then doit in the name of science, I would love to hear how it turns out. How large is your run? If you choose to go forward i would first set up a small inner run that quail are free to enter but chickens are...
