    Feed container setup that does not cause massive waste?

    This was my first design. I changed how the boards went together on every one after this. I have very little waist, the box mounts through the wire on the cage so its filled from the outside. This one holds 2 gallons of feed. the new ones only hold 1 gallon. I like buckets with feed ports but...

    How loud are male coturnix quails when compared to male chickens (roosters)?

    Best to my knowledge there is no ordinances that prohibit you from owning Male Quail (roosters). I have 30 or so roosters and they sound off all through the day. Mine are kept in our garage and my neighbors wouldn't know I had them if I didn't give them eggs. Gotta bribe them every now and then...

    Busy weekend accomplishing little.

    I sold 17 adult hens and 3 adult roosters to help a homesteader who lost his flock of 80 Quail to a hole in his pen. I am meeting a lady to sell 4 dozen fertilized eggs in the morning on my way to work. Bribed both my neighbors today by delivering them 4 dozen eating eggs each. Gotta keep the...

    Fermenting Quail Feed

    I like the idea of fermented feed and dont mind taking the time to ferment it even though that adds another daily process to an already full day. But you cant automate this in a production environment. My feeders hold a gallon of feed so I only have to feed every other day. I have 2 feeders per...

    I think the shipping on this one makes it unobtainable.....

    January Hatching Coturnix Quail

    I spend most of my time in the Quail forums and forget to come over here. We Incubated 120 of our quail eggs. We were excited as we have bought the last 2 sets of 120 eggs from Myshire Farms. This set was completely from our adult birds. We laid down 120 eggs and only candled on lockdown day. we...

    You said for your 3. That is a game changer also. Today I have about 100 mature birds and 83 went in the brooder last night. We aren't at a commercial level but not quite a hobby either. lol We are mainly producing these birds for consumption either eggs or meat. I would love to be able to sell...

    I do not intentionally raise Jumbos but did end up with a few. I want the birds to be at their best health but also there is a cost associated with all we do. 30% Protein Starter Game Bird and Turkey Feed, 40 lb. is $24.99 or .62 cents a pound at Tractor supply. DuMOR 16% Layer Crumble Poultry...

    Early Hatch Quail Chick - Curled Toes and Slipped Tendon?

    We use the Farm Innovators incubator and incubate 120 eggs at a time. I have 2 govee digital thermometers to show the temp and humidity. 1 in the middle and one in a corner. none of the numbers match. the machine shows 2 degrees hotter in the middle than the govee reads. the corner one will be a...

    Early Hatch Quail Chick - Curled Toes and Slipped Tendon?

    Gotta love new babies. you want them all to live and get strong. But its tough raising baby animals. We have had a few come out with deformed legs or feet. The humane thing is probably to go ahead and cull. If you let it grow and it survives you dont want it passing any bad genes to your next...

    Stacking Quail Cages

    If you look at my Cage flat top, slanted floor. trim your legs and use the trimmings to help separate the stack as needed.

    lol Bag running out isn't my problem. The Quail go through about 75lbs a week and the Chickens about 25lbs. So I get 2 bags per week.... Why do I do this again???

    I get that. 8-10 or 10-12. whatever works is fine. but after 12 weeks. If you are using them for eggs do you continue the high protein diet?
