    Order Up. Toaster oven Hatch-A-Long

    😂 I had a rooster start crowing at five weeks old, once! Others at six weeks old. The five-week-old shocked me, It was my first hatch and I wasn't expecting crowing till eight weeks.

    HELP, very swollen vent area on several of my Coturnix Quail

    I just noticed this exact same thing on my male coturnix. He's nearly nine weeks old now. Checked the others in the same cage and he was the only one with it. What happened with your birds?

    We got hit hard this morning. 80mph straight line winds and we got hit with a tornado just a mile from home. Been without power since 6, almost the entire area is without power. Crazy morning! Thankfully our neighbor has power and let us move our 4 day old quail over there to brood. Don't know...

    Certainly, sounds like a worthwhile investment! I've done similar set ups with tarps mainly, usually while at work. Something I'd suggest if you go this route is to secure your poles good, either by burying them down a foot or two or whatever other way works for you. Wind won't affect netting...

    Show Me Your Pallet Projects!

    I figured someone would mention that. I'm in a very urban environment, only critters we have to worry about are cat and opossums. The cats could care less about the chickens and don't mess with chicken wire. My only real concern for the opossums potentially getting in is at the door. I'm...

    Show Me Your Pallet Projects!

    Well, I just realized I never shared how the run came out. 😂 Ended up utilizing a 10'x13' space on the backside of my current run and built it directly into my fence, wall, and other run so that all I had to do was close up gaps and install a roof and door. Pretty happy with how it came out, I...

    Addressing muddy run without roof

    They bend to an extent, about as much as tin does. I've used a few on my porch when I enclosed it. You can bend it to about 45 degree angle hotdog style.
