Title says it all. I haven't had the time to jump on cause things are so busy. I'm still hatching on a regular and starting to get a little overrun with quail The link is a little mini video of what I've been up to. Hopefully I'll be back soon.

I have to go to Ohio for 4 days to beat up people and worried that I'm going to come home to everything dead. Do you ever get used to leaving the farm in someone else's care while you're away?

Does anyone use their feed? My feed cost has gone up and I'm trying to get something cheaper. Southern States has gone up

So now that I'm not distracted I realize that for the past week I just grab the eggs out the pens and didn't keep track of which pen they came from Which forced me to think deeper into how I'm running things. I only have the one incubator and I have collected roughly 50 eggs or so in the past...

Ok so the Rookie is back in action. I was cutting weight for a tournament so thats why I really haven't been on. Tournaments over and time to get back to business. Now that I have a hatching routine and have my brooder rotating down, its time to move to next step. I'm quickly running out of...

So The Rookie has been a little silent lately cause I'm training for a tournament but while I was up late cutting weight, the question popped in my head when to add new birds to my blood line and how? I read one here that some do it every year. Is there an exact science? I'm interested to know...

I haven't really been on much lately due to some personal issues. So I figured I'd give an update. Since my last post I have hatched 35 bringing my new year total to 55. Maybe I'll be able to hang with the big boys one day

I have one tuxedo roo. If I were to set up a breeder pen with him, what would be idea to put with him?

I finally called Fish and Wildlife today about Bobwhite permits. And as you guessed no matter which type of Bobs I get I have to have a permit. If they come from out of state they need to be NPIP tested. All I need to do is send in my form and money (duh its NJ, its always comes down to money...

Has anyone processed them before? Just wondering how much meat is on them. Someone on CL is getting rid of a bunch and I'm thinking about getting some to stock the freezer.

Its my weekend with my kids and my son wanted to process a duck. It just happened that someone close by had some for sale and we went got 2 (I didn't want to do mine just yet). It was my sons first time and my second. I gave him a chance to back out but he manned up and did it. The only thing I...

So the Rookie went to bed at 11:45ish cause there was nothing going on except 8" of snow here Jersey. I was awaken a hour and half later to little chirps (octo 20 is at bed side). As of right now I have 13 little fuzzy things running around. Hopefully most of them turn out to be girls I don't...

I would like to thank Mother nature once again for another Roo. My first 2 I ever hatched are in their brooder in my room and you guest it 1 started crowing today But i do know the other one is a girl for sure. So I have 4 hens and 15 roos now.... hahaha

Fingers crossed Its lock down time for my new incubator. Hopefully I'll have little fuzz balls running around soon.

I just processed my first duck. It wasn't that bad except when it came to plucking. I boogered it somehow so I ended up just skinning it. None the less I did it.

So I loose one and to my surprise a new one hatches. My homemade incubator hasn't been steady but I guess it was good enough cause while watching a movie with my lady friend I all of a sudden heard chirping. So hopefully more will hatch....

Looks like I'm loosing one from my boys club I just got home and the only thing holding him up was the food dish and he barely opened his eyes when I picked him up. He's only white one. He's isolated now but I hope he pull through

Dear Mother Nature, I know playing jokes on rookies is always a fun time and rookies got to take their lumps. Do you really have to keep turning what I thought was hens into Roos? I don't mind having a boys club but did you really have to make it a 10:4 ratio. Could you please cut me a break...

I needed some back up for the girls so I went shopping this past weekend and picked up 10 more coturnix and couldn't help but to get my daughter her buttons. Her buttons ( your seeing them before she does ) The new Boys Club Chunk(my Pharaoh) and his girls I figured I throw this in to, I...
