Mbfarmer: what happened?

We figured out he choked on his food... His whole mouth was full with it. It must've kept food from going down.

Stupid collar. He crowed some yesterday, he could get the first part out loudly, but made a gaggy sound at the end of the crow... so I figured I had it ALMOST tight enough. I undid it, redid it, just a hair tighter, which is how it's supposed to work.. Neck cant expand to get those loud crows out, just soft one. He was out and about all day. I was too. He was still warm when I found him, although already stiff... so 30 minutes?

I never cried for a dead chicken.. but I did for him. I had gotten attached to him. He was no longer running from me, and he let me carry him inside every night. He wasnt happy about sleeping in a box indoors, but he was ok with it.


So yeah... don't use rooster collars

Oh No! I'm sorry to hear that.

Does anyone know what a dozen quail eggs go for?

From $2.50 to $6.00. I know I've been looking. Something came through and took my quails.

That happened with my first bunch last year. We found a big rat snake in the cage and all but one died. I have a ton of eggs right now and the girls are still giving me 2 to 4 a day. No one seems to want coturnix eggs.

I think it's also location. When I had my quails I had a waiting list for them. But then again, I was giving them away to friends and family

Shoot... too bad I do not travel to Montgomery much or I would buy some from you. Need to repopulate.

Worse yet, I went to a flea market to see if I could find one. Come back with 2 silkies chicks that I didn't need and no quails.

Mbfarmer: what happened?

Friday evening lost two hens had been letting them free range in the evenings, found the remains, mostly feathers and a coyote track. Looks like more than one coyote.
