Hello from Southeast Alabama!

[Weggers]

Hello! I’m Wendy from Dothan, Alabama. I was a member here years ago and had a small backyard flock but we’ve had a lot of changes in the years since. I’m re-registering because for one, I can’t remember my old login . I still have my coop and run and need to spruce it back up before I can even think of getting new birds and I’m interested to see what everyone is doing these days!! I have recently found that I’m not legal in my neighborhood now because I don’t have a half acre....only a quarter so there’s that! So, I guess while I’m in the process of getting everything together I will trying get that ordinance changed. Here’s to change and adventures!!

Hi, Wendy, welcome back to BYC. Good luck in reestablishing your flock.

For the time being, get a few Coturnix quail. They are tiny and cute, and lay a lot of eggs (tastes like chicken!). You can buy scissors to open the eggs quickly. No shell gets into the egg somehow. It’s magic!
The quail can live in a guinea pig cage, or hide in HW cloth tunnels behind a bush or your flowers.

I hope you can get the ordinance changed so you can have a new flock!

Here are three tunnel systems. Personally, I think it would be cool to have a storage bench in the garden with the tunnels coming out one side or both. That would provide shelter, and be easy to place food & water, and clean out.
Quail tunnels can be lower of course.
