    Hey y'all!! How's it going? I know I disappeared for awhile but I'm a teacher so I've been swamped with the teaching life. First year working in middle school so it was a big adjustment. :rolleyes: The math milestone is tomorrow so I'm finally free! Happy to report all chickens are alive. No...

    Thanks for advice everyone. I feel much better. I've also had ten new quail girls for about a week now. They are close to laying age. So cute and quiet.

    So I've had the two new chickens in there for a week. It was okay at first. They were irritated but the two Easter eggers were too fast for them to get to them. Today, I did notice feather picking has started. I saw a little dot of bare skin. Its really only one hen that they are picking on...

    My New Quail Adventure

    So, I love having chickens. I like the small number of chickens that I have and don't feel like pushing it with the laws for my city. I started thinking about keeping quail. I used to keep small birds as a child. I didn't know if I could handle a gamebird. Turns out, quail are a super easy for...

    My sister has three blueberry trees so maybe you can get some when the later two are ripe. :) It was a fairly easy class! I even talked to the guy about coming to my school to present.

    But I don't want to! I guess I could clean the house. I do need to bake a blueberry cheesecake so I can use these blueberries that I got form my sister's yard. Looks like a cool project you got going on there. I like the colors! I'm going to an egg candeling class tomorrow. Any tips? Have...

    I'm glad I'm not the only one tired of the rain. :barnie I luckily finished my quail pen yesterday but would have been finished a few days before if it wasn't for all this rain! I also need to clean my chicken coop but I'm waiting for a dry day to do it. I also got two chickens from...

    So this Georgia forum must have magical powers because every time I post about a chicken not laying yet, it lays. We now have all three laying. I guess the biggest girl was a late bloomer. Or the smaller ones were early. Either way, I'm glad. Still miss my favorite, kazooie. @Tabasco Jack I...

    Where are you located? Thank you for all the info! I will probably show you some picks of the quail pen once I finish building it. Just picked up materials today. I do need to purchase another dog crate. I have two but one is a special one for my crazy husky pit. The other I actually need...

    So cute! Color doesn't matter to me. I was more worried about nature. Glad to know I'm not overthinking! I don't want to hurt my little crew with nasty diseases that are preventable. I trust a chicken from y'all more than a stranger on Craigslist because I know the heath of your birds matters...

    Okay so now that I've thoroughly read the information about introducing new chickens to a flock, I'm worried about buying these chickens. Only because I don't have the space to quarantine for a month ( I read a month is best). We're getting our garage converted soon and our newly purchased barn...
