    Quail Coop and Aviary Questions

    My wife and I are talking about getting quail, most likely regular size Coturnix. I've been doing research on coops with an aviary. It seems like I am either confusing the 2 or people don't usually have a coop with an aviary. Can anyone help with coop height and size and aviary height and size...

    New in N Alabama

    Hello from North Alabama. Without getting to personal, location means everything. I'm in Huntsville but outside city limits. I go by county rules, not city rules. If your in a HOA, many of them don't allow chickens at all. Some newer neighborhoods don't have HOA's, the one behind me, has an HOA...

    Stupid Egg Question

    Which way do eggs come out of the chicken? Is it pointy end first or Blunt end? My wife made a comment about how pointy one of our eggs were. I said it probably made it easier to lay. She said she thought they come out blunt end first. Now we both don't know.

    Turkey Run, Free Range Questions

    Thanks, I know they will cost more, but I'm done buying meat from grocery stores. The extra cost is justified by the taste and lack of chemicals and additives. I personally don't get very attatched but my wife and kids do. I was hoping to free range them but I could build a run behind the...

    Turkey Run, Free Range Questions

    I'm considering raising a few turkeys for meat, next year but don't know much about keeping them in a run or free ranging them or pretty much anything else. I know our chickens don't go more than a few hundred feet from the coop when we let them free range but would turkeys stay in a certain...

    ID 2 Roosters Please

    We found a rooster that we wanted for our coop (the second one) but had to take all 3 in the ad. The 3rd one (not pictured) was a hold laced sebright. The guy didn't know what these 2 were or how old they are. The 1st one is a bantam and the second one is a full size, bigger than every hen in...

    Has Anyone Ordered From Happy Hen Culture

    We found a page on Facebook called Happy Hen Culture that has multiple harder to find chickens we are looking for. It seems too good, and might be a scam page. Has anyone heard or ordered from them? https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558612406637&name=xhp_nt__fb__action__open_user Thanks
