    Does anybody eat squab? What does it taste like?

    My cousins raised pigeons for meat, and we would grill them I liked them. We butchered them at a month old, I thought about raising a few to eat, but after training my homers,you get really attached and I don't think I can eat a pigeon anymore lol.

    meat rabbits

    I think that one really shouldn't go with the colony method until they have raised rabbits for a 1 1/2 years to 2 years, I've raised them both ways and I liked single cage method better, everyone that I asked who raised them both ways love the single cage way much better. Rabbits, feel and seem...

    Wow, interesting thread, was going to jump back into meat rabbits last summer, but then changed my mind, I hope to one day have some sort of shed with heat, AC, lights, electricity, etc. Only then will I really get them again.

    English lop buck.. No sex drive?

    I too haven't posted in awhile but this is an interesting topic so here it goes... There are many reasons that he might not be wanting to breed for one he could be over weight, over weight bucks might loose complete interest in reproduction, I'm not quite sure how much he should way according to...

    How many pigeons can I have in this "loft".

    I'd go with 2 square feet per bird...1.5 at least but thats pushing it! For squabbing pigeons that are producing a pair of young birds a month they need to be healthy and over crowding isn't going to help, so the more space the better but at least 2 square feet per bird seems fair... A nice...

    Everyone Post Pics Of Your Pigeons Or Doves!!!

    Quote: Ah Do they come in other colors besides recessive red? Recessive red is the only color I've seen in them so far. I know Faded causes the shade difference, so as long as they have that gene (pure for it), they could come in any color and still be auto-sexing. I just couldn't remember...

    http://www.slobberknockerlofts.com/auction/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl?category=Pigeons3&item=1292886873 They're going cheap, birds aren't mine but I thought I would share this cheapest I found for these birds was like 60$ a pair, they are $100 a pair on Strombergs.

    Quail Loudness and Night housing

    They can be pretty loud had one that would crow a lot from 4 A.M. till sundown. But we have a lot of land and wildlife so neighbors just thought it was some wild bird making that noise.

    Gamebird feed chart

    Actually doesn't seem like a bad idea... grower till 7-8 weeks old, game bird layena in the spring and summer then switch them back to that grower in the fall. I'm not sure if I'll be getting the quail I was trying to make a deal with someone that would be able to take 30-50 every 2-3 weeks if...

    Gamebird feed chart

    Thats interesting...but thing I don't understand with coturnix is sure they need high protien when growing up (first 6 weeks) but why cut back on that protien when they are expected to breed and lay fertile eggs? I've read a few articles that say to start them on 28-30% protein then raise them...

    Dry Hatching

    I'm sure this is probably the 100th thread on dry hatching but after reading this awhile ago https://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-DryIncubation.html I became interested...all those fully formed chicks that don't hatch or the ones that died because of the humidity spike, and then the ones that are...

    They don't have this there? http://www.tractorsupply.com/livestock/livestock-feed/poultry-feed/dumor-reg-chick-starter-24-feed-50-lb--5078197 I used to feed that to my adults and chicks.
