Hi

[Born2shoot]

HI! Newbie here. I'm joining because I have multiple food issues and I react to whatever the animal eats. This is making it very difficult to source 'safe-for-me' protein, so I'm starting to look at raising some quail for the eggs and meat. I would like to raise chickens but my community does not allow backyard chickens yet.
I am hoping to learn as much as I can from this group.
P.S. I love photography and teach piano at home.

Welcome to BYC! I used to raise Coturnix but i had to sell the farm and move to help my parents. Any way, i hope to get more in the spring. You are going to love them, very nice birds. There are lots of folks on here with experience, so you will learn a lot. Thanks for joining us!

Great idea to raise your own birds...now you'll know exactly what they eat and you shouldn't get unpleasantly surprised. Do you garden too? There are a lot of members here that do, you can find them under the Hobbies forum.

Best of luck to you and thanks for joining us!
