The birb king's chickens

[The Birb King]

I ended up selling all the button quail recently. I liked em but just didn't really have a good spot to keep them or plan on hatching any more, plus it was mostly males left anyway. I might get more eventually once I have a better setup, but for now I need to focus on the other birds

I actually got Button Quail this year and was debating whether to keep them or not through the winter because it gets so cold here. I also don't really have a good spot for them. I just have them in our garage in a small brooder, and I have had them in the basement, but our basement has a dirt floor so it really doesn't hold any heat. They are now using a heat lamp, to stay warm and so that I can still get eggs from them (not that I needed to use any more electricity. The amount of money that I raised all the chicks this year on with the heat lamps and incubators...I don't even want to know ).
I'm going to try to sell all the adults that I have and just keep the newest chicks that I hatched.
I also had coturnix quail, but I just got rid of them for the same reason.

Yea I brought mine in the garage for the winter since it got so cold. They would just stay in the shed for most of the summer though, I tried having them outside once but it didn't work out so they went to a good home

Yup. Our garage is not insulated, and the doors don't shut all the way. I really didn't want to have to use a heat lamp, but the first frost hit and I lost three of the adults. I figured I might as well try to get a few more eggs from them and then I could sell them and downsize a little to just some of their chicks.

Yea I'm gonna have to bring some of my seramas in pretty soon too since it's getting so cold. They are pretty fragile and I'm bringing some to a show

Lost my smallest serama recently which sucks. It was one of the younger ones that hatched in may and was like half the size of all her siblings. She was doing fine until recently she felt kinda skinny and lethargic. Might be because it's been so cold recently but I'm not sure. I was pretty exited about her tho since I've never seen one that small
