Just wanted to give a shout out, that I'm new to the site. We just move into our house in Bountirul and are excited to learn I can have chickens and my wife can have bees. Appreciate the wealth of knowledge here. I'm looking at building a combination of "Missouri Mansion", "The Palace","Boisemarker's Coop" and the "Taj Mahal". Any advice from those of you that have built their own.

Coop building..hmmm, let's see, use lots of wood, then lots of nails, then lots of chicken wire. lol..there's a tiny bit of the fun things that go on in here. I'm sure someone on here can give ideas. The only serious idea I can give, is to go to one of the sites here on BYC..there is a site for building coops, I'm sure. A lot of ideas there!
Here's a great site, with a lot of different ideas!

Iluv, that Sizzle is looking so pretty. I almost keep her,i really did! She looks to have gotten the frizzled Silkie feathering. They are very pretty and unique when mature. The closest i got to having one was a bird i sold last week. She was around 6-8 weeks old and was not even close to what yours looks like at the same age. I cant wait to see how she turns out.

Speaking of Sizzles i have 2 roos i would like to re home. They are both splash and very small. They are not crowing yet but are around 5 months if i remember. I could even run them to salt lake area or the opposite direction Spanish Fork(Cynthia). I have a friend that bought 5 of the hatch mates and two are roos. They have already started crowing and fighting between themselves.

Merry Christmas!!! My first quail is hatching today! Its my Xmas present to me

Really, you think it could be a frizzled silkie rather then the sizzle?? I hope so! I was just discussing the differences between the two variations with someone last week and I decided I kinda like the frizzled variety more since they still appear closer to the silkie look. I agree she is gorgeous. She's the main one I wanted when I saw the pics of you you posted. The others were just a bonus but when I saw her unique coloring, and huge vault/fluffy cheeks I knew I had to have her lol. The curly feathers was a total surprise but I am really liking it. I love how her wings are coming in silver, but she still has a fair amount of buff. I am sure she's going to turn out very lovely. I will keep updating pics of her for you How can you tell at this age if she's going to be a frizzled silkie or a sizzle? How are you seeing it? I cannot tell until her shoulder feathers come in, so I can see if there's a barb in the feather or not. And so far she doesent have much growth there, just pin feather. I think i'll be able to see more in another couple days
