Gary--forgot to tell you for food--I got the 5 lb bags of turkey/game bird starter at cal when they were chicks (it is powdery) then after about 4 weeks I got the turkey grower pellets in 50 lb bags at IFA. They do better with the pellets once they are big enough, they are messy eaters. But if the feeder is on the wood floor in the little coops, they do eat the stuff that spills pretty good, it does not go to waste as much as when I had it on the wire floor They can't have medicated chick feed it makes them sick. They learn how to use the nipple waterers really easy too. I think they are pretty smart little critters.

Is this what you are feeding your Quail? We have tons and tons of wild ones around here, and I was thinking of starting to put a feeder out for them. They are always in my huge pine trees through out the yard. Just didn't know what to feed them.


I think I figured out how to make my roof and the floor in my project under my deck. I'm just going to put up a 12" by 2" board straight across the floor under my roosts to put shavings, straw and DE. This will be good so I can do the deep litter, and not have to put in so much on the huge space. This will cut the floor in 1/2 and then I will leave the other half just plain old dirt.

Good idea on the coop floor!
Yup that feed has been great! It is about $20 for50#. Dark green little short pellets.

Desert thanks, you are so sweet The Quail Ho-Tail will look lots cuter after it is painted up and has the letters on it. Been too busy with the kiddos out of school.

Lisa, this white SG is the sister of the boy you got from me. She is laying well, and the Buff is her
hubby.. She said she would save me some eggs this week. Check out that body type on that boy!

Cynthia, you better save some eggs for me to! I have a broody bantam right now. Funny thing is she is still laying.

She is the one that hatched the pheasants. I sold them at three weeks cause they were flying out of the grow up pen. I think she is confused. She even sneaked in and laid an egg with the new chicks when Momma was out eating.

Brain, judging by the picture, i would build the coop under the apple tree on the left. I have an apple tree that leans way down also and it is one of the favorite places for the gang to hang out. They love to dig in the dirt for bugs and worms. Just look for the roots of the tree and fence that area off, they will dig it up. Apple trees do not grow deep! I have braces holding my leaning apple tree up.
