I might end up raising quail if my neighbors complain about my rooster when he starts to crow. I have five hens that started to lay eggs, and two more that will start by end of month. They only make noise when they lay an egg and that's already past 8 am, so its not a problem. I bought a feather processor, so I will have fresh meat and eggs when I start the rotation. The roosters start crowing at around 3 to 4 months, but not all of them crow, only the dominant ones. They gain about a pound a month. I plan on harvesting the roosters when they start to crow, so they will be a little bigger than the small cornish game hens we see in the super market.
Don't tell my honey...
I've been thinking I may start raising quail
Howz raising birds in Honolulu? I imagine you have to be pretty stealth to not make huhu.
Oh, and we LOVE photos!
Those darn chickens! Yes, I would imagine quail to be more quiet and manageable than chickens for sure. Like chicks that never grow up and stay in their coop, less noise etc, awesome!!! Make my big girls look bad for sure. We had quail when I was a kid but I don't remember much about them other than the hatch and eating. I did not care for the taste of a few other animals we harvested but I do remember quail being pretty yummy.
Oh I love that, super solid- OMG and soooo sweet!!! Bravo!!!
. Then we have the late night guarding barks or the folks are out anxiety barking, sometimes nonstop
. It seems to be a repeated neighbor thing. Like 2 seperate families in the same house had dogs with the abandonment barking and a few hours non stop barking gets old. I would rather have chicken noise, though I do appreciate the protection of our 4 legged pals. I guess it is all a trade off. Definitely PEOPLE are the biggest noise makers hands down lol.
