➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Yep, there are quite a few species of True pheasants that don't have rings around their necks, or if they do it will be thin or "spotty". Ring necked pheasants are in the True pheasant group. The Zurandy's are in the "white winged" grouping. Together with the Kirghiz (2 species) and black-necked (4 species) they are considered to be "red rumps". There are 6 species in this grouping.
There are 17 subspecies in the Gray rumped group, of which the Chinese ring necked belongs. The Olive rumped group consists of one species, the Tarium pheasant, P.c. tarimensis.
I know too much information! :oops:
Where does silver pheasant fall in these groupings?

They are in the
Family: Phasianidae Genius: Lophura
Species: Lophura nycthemera
Silver's, along with other pheasants that aren't in the True pheasant groups are grouped loosely in what most people term "Ornamental pheasants". There are 15 subspecies in the Genus: Lophura.
 
I was at a local Asian market on Friday and asked if they carried quail eggs. They only had canned eggs. I asked them if they wanted to carry fresh quail eggs. I think I'm getting my egg handler's permit for the new year.

Edit: I attended an egg handler's workshop, so I know what is required. I found the form to mail in with my payment. Does anyone know how often or how they inspect for compliance? Is there a cost for inspection?
 
I'm the same way. I'm not into selling... DH wants us to go to a chicken swap next Sunday to sell some chicks. We'll see how that goes.
Eeekkkk...be careful not to bring home a disease on your shoes.
He ng a can of Lysol with you so you can spray yourself before you leave and get in your car.

Will do. I'll be wearing my every day shoes, I don't wear those on the farm. Only to go out shopping. We wear our farm bootsnon the farm.

The place that holds them I guess it similar to BYC and they're Virginia based. It's a good way to meet new people.

We have brought chicks home from breeders we know and so far zero diseases! In 5 years so that's good :fl We bought Coco our muscovy and a few others from the swap this year.

Most of our birds come from the local farm that is down the road from us. I also found an organic farm that is local and they sell hatching eggs and I've hatched some from them last batch. So far everything has gone great :fl I watch for disease like crazy at swaps, my DH does too.

The place that runs them actually inspects your chickens/fowl/rabbits/goats/dogs before you even bring them in the swap.

They even have food trucks. It's like a dream when you go to them :celebrate
