Alright~ I have coturnix and button quail. Ducks too, but I the them bc I can never keep the water buckets clean and they're BANNED from my new coop. Tooooo nasty, sorry duck lovers but it's true.
I have 1 lonely turkey that sits on the roost and pecks me when I go get eggs. (Kinda off topic...)
I'll trade you some of my americauna eggs for some of yours. I dontcare if they have silkie in them, it means ill haveto be xtra careful.
I have heard many peopl do this, but is inbreeding god fo chicken genetics? Someone posted thy hada deformed chick... I wouldn't havethe heart to kill one bc its a handicap chick..
Aaanyways, if you like button quail, I'll trade you like two or three dozen for a dozen ofyour americauna or maran or silkie eggs when they start laying. The buttns have a really good survival rate, if u fees them right. I think I've lost maybe 6 tops after the first week. Just don't feed them anything besides game bird starter... learned that the hard way... I'll never buy chick starter again. But after 3 weeks u can feed them anything.
My mom would kick me if I go more wellsummers.. gorgeous birds and they lay well, but my 2 go on our front porch and just.. agh, they make the roosters sound patheric...
They soundlike theyre being strangled.
