➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

I am just extremely picky about who I will buy eggs from and I would never bring home live birds from anybody.

Are your birds kept in pens, an aviary or free range?
I love the tropical look of your backyard trees.
Nice compost bin too!
Sorry if I've already asked this at another time, I'm quite forgetful actually.

Well, I think if @Kiki is npip she is suppose to only get new birds/eggs from other npip'ers. Or maybe it's an "at risk of infection" thing to get from non-npip'ers. If I understood the Oklahoma information correctly. I hate it, it takes from the neighborly aspect of backyard swaps (although I wouldn't want to infect anyone's flock incidentally either).

I don’t think she is NPIP? But

No I am not NPIP.
I don't think I would ever try to mail live birds...I'd get busted for sure.

Yeah eggs are easier to miss but no way they would miss a living bird lol

That makes sense. I think hah not even chicken chicks or from people you know?

I have 2 grow out coops - 8'x2' and 6'x2'. Then the breeders have 3 cages 2'x2'. Free range quail leave, get eaten, or leave then get eaten. The dogs will help.

The bananas got hit hard by the early frost. I was hoping for NO frost this year so I could harvest the 2 RACKS OF HANGING BANANAS. Killed all the leaves but the bananas still look OK. Green, but not turning black and falling off yet. We shall see.

I was going for the rustic look of the compost bin. The chickens love it. They tear it apart so I can shovel it up for use. Very helpful, the destructive little beasts. I planted the bananas next to the compost bin and that was the best bunch. Got one rack off that bunch. The others struggled so I installed more compost bins. Bananas are heavy feeders.

The side of the family you like or the side you can't stand?

Understood.
A young bird flew out of a tote one day before the move outdoors, it landed on the settee right beside one of my mutts.
They just looked at each other for a second, then the quailie pooped & the mutt decided she better leave before getting accused of something.
I'd like to get a herd protector, eventually.

Mission accomplished! ( I like anything made out of wooden pallets)
My whole place is rustic!
My chickens think it is their daily dutyto crap on our back porch, and actually anything else that can be walked on &/or landed on.
I decided that with that in mind & the fact that my goats are escape artists I'd better relocate the Camaro to a safer zone.
I do love the banana trees.
