Farm chatter

[MysteryChicken]

I want quail, but don't have the housing, or mates for a male quail.

? I ordered them as unsexed and I ended up with 5 females to 9 males so I have to get rid of some.

Are you able to have a bachelor pad of quail like you are with roosters?

I was joking. Just wondering what your profile name meant, that's all. Try eating them...

I have a Welsummer cockerel, he's red partridge @RoostersAreAwesome

Not that sort of partridge. I mean like pencilled.

I don't have any other Pencilled birds. I was just wondering if I can use my Wellie.

I have recently taken up volunteering on a farm, and many of you seem to be interested in how it's going. Here's a spot for me to talk about what's going on without interrupting other threads. I'd also LOVE to hear about any of your farms, hobby or commercial, or any work you're doing on a farm or homestead. Tagging some people I was chatting with before, and others who might like to join the fun: @JadeFarms @Sally PB @eggsandhens @SBFChickenGirl @MysteryChicken @OneHappyRooster @CHlCKEN @Overo Mare @LothalRebel @RoostersAreAwesome
I'm sorry if I missed anyone in the tags, anyone is welcome to join in!
Rules of the thread:
-you're never derailing the conversation, talk about whatever as long as it at least sort of relates to farms
-I always want to see pictures, so post them! no need to ask.
-all cows posted are fair game if people want to put hats on them -have fun!

Sorry, it didn’t give me an alert for this tag.

That's what I have been doing, and the rest are in pairs. Sadly though I cannot keep extras because they aren't making me any money and like you I am in need of something to make me money

You're totally fine! You're always welcome to join in if you want, or if you don't want, that's cool too

No, since he’s duckwing. I don’t think it’s necessary for you to breed your hen to a pencilled rooster, but it would provide an opportunity to see how close to pencilled she really is.

I have 48 cortunix quail in an incubator at the moment
