This is DD, my American Bresse when he was 16 weeks.

I had a similar situation with quail recently. Here’s what I did. I used a Qtip with a little mineral oil to moisten the membrane. I had used coconut oil previously on assisting a chick and the other chicks kept pecking at the coconut oil areas on his body. Mineral oil isn’t actually greasy so...

What a fantastic project! I like that flooring, I never knew you could get it 12’ wide and cut to length, that’s great. Since you’re up in a colder climate ventilation is just as important a factor as protection from weather. May I suggest you and your dad look at the Woods style coops? It’s...

Absolutely! Theres even a gal on Etsy that sells a 3D printed quail tray . It comes in 3 pieces with instructions and clips to hold while glue dries. I didn’t glue, just used the clips.

I just bought a green one from her, there were only 1-2 available per color (4). maybe she is keeping the inventory low until she’s got more feedback. I got green because I wanted to be able to distinguish it from the one I got off eBay.

Thank you. Yes it was a relief to get power back. We had just gone to town to get gas/perishable food/propane/water.....it came on a couple hours later. Murphy’s law of course.

Thank you.
