Another hawk sighting this afternoon, fortunately I had only just come home and the chickens were still in their runs. They're out now but I'm sitting out here with them.
I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine even though it's a little cool out.
 
Hi, I'm actually from Washington but will be moving to TX Houston in a few months! I would really like to bring my flock with me though(15 chickens+6ducks) looked up the importation requirements and couldn't find anything on waterfowl and while I got an idea of what the chickens need Avian influenza, PT, and laryngitis free I don't have any idea were to contact to have them tested or the costs? Any of you bring backyard poultry into state before? Or know who I need to contact?

I have a brother, and also a son-in-law who love quail. It's a thought. I'm seriously considering it but life has been really busy. I'm not sure I need more responsibility. Lol

Not sure how close to Tomball y'all are, but there is a guy in my community that has a hawk as a pet. He feeds it quail, he was looking to buy some for it. I can see if he's still interested if anyone has any to sell.

I just keep an eye out that it stays away from my girls.

What age quail?
Does he want freshly hatched ones or older larger ones?
How many would he want at a time?
How often?

Can you ask him these questions for me please.
