    😄 Thanks! I shot all of these with a Canon camera. It's old and has taken a few beatings, but still gives me great results!

    Feeding quail, thoughts and opinions?

    Good note. I know the one over in Balch Springs and plan on hitting it later today. I honestly completely forgot it existed until I saw that list. Lol. Hopefully they'll have some 24% My gals are also already eating oystershell like crazy! Threw some in the J feeder yesterday and it was mostly...

    Feeding quail, thoughts and opinions?

    Thanks for the info! I'm over east side of DFW, looks like they've got a couple of dealers nearby I'll have to go check out. Thanks for the heads up!

    Feeding quail, thoughts and opinions?

    Sounds like you found a pretty good deal! I checked tractor supply and the local feed stores that are in reasonable distance. I'll probably go back to the feed stores to check for high protein chicken layer feed, or ask if they know any other places to check out. Tractor Supply only had layer...

    Feeding quail, thoughts and opinions?

    Thank you! I'll read through it! I was unable to find any Game Bird Feed with the exception of 14% Gamebird Maintenance, and the All Flock feed I've found locally is only 16%, which is my main reason for looking for alternatives in Chicken Layer x Game Starter mix and/or Chick Starter with...

    Egg sex experiment

    Adorable babies! My experience and understanding comes down to the whole round egg thing being nothing more than an old wives tale. My girls each lay a specific shape that is directly tied to them. One hen always lays extra large fairly round eggs, another always lays very long pointed eggs. I...

    Feeding quail, thoughts and opinions?

    Finally made the leap and bought my first Coturnix quail! However, this has so far already proven to be more of a challenge than the chickens were! The internet is loaded with such varied information on quail needs, it's a little difficult to figure out what's right. Everything from incubating...

    Just for fun: crowing quail

    😂 I had just gotten my first quail a couple of weeks ago at around 4 weeks old. First time I ever heard the little guy crow was when I was tending to my Leghorn chicks in the brooder. Had my back turned to him, but the guy was less than two feet away when I heard this croaking screech. Lol, I...

    Show Me Your Pallet Projects!

    Not technically a pallet project, but since it's recycled wood and we're all on the conversation of gardening, I felt like sharing anyway. Just put in a new garden bed for our abundance of Sweet Potatoes we've got going this year. I had to put up a fence to deter cats and people from getting...

    My first hatch! With one problem child. Help?

    If it's been over 20 hours without progress during zipping, you may end up needing to assist. Here's an article to assisted hatching! Read it through for directions and making that decision, but zipping is supposed to only take a couple of hours at most, if it's stopped, it's likely gonna need...
