Like the title says, I'm preparing for a semi- free range flock. I want to get a mixed flock going (we want about four ducks and six chicks and one or two geese ultimately) (geese for flock protection) here, I have attached a pick of a large fenced yard that we set up for the dogs years ago...
I have not owned quails before or any other birds. I want to raise button quails as 2 breeding pairs. What should I know about these quails and are they the greatest choice for a beginner.P.S I do own a dog if that affects anything
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

Seven chicks. You can see photos here...
Hi all and thank you for the add.
We are trying to decide between chickens or ducks for eggs. We have VERY limited experience with either so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Let me give you a quick rundown on what we would like to do so that hopefully, you can point me in the right...
Hi everyone,
One of my chickens got broody recently, so we put 8 fertilized eggs underneath her about 1 or 2 weeks ago. All is going well thankfully.
I was wondering if there is anything I need to do before they hatch, or when they hatch or anything like that.
Can't wait to see them hatch...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I'm new, and doing as much homework as I can before I get my first chicks this spring
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
None - but I think three or four will fit in the backyard of our 9k sqft lot
(3) What breeds do you...
