    I've been looking over the whole system to locate where it goes. I have been looking at the website where it all came from and looking at the specs for it too.

    Are celadon layers less reliable?

    In my experience, it depends on the line. They often lay more fragile eggs, but the current line that I have from Myshire have produced strong eggs and a lot of eggs. The eggs are smaller than most, though. My previous line (that got wiped out when someone vandalized my greenhouse) had...

    They're not big enough to eat yet. I still need to but a ball valve on the pond pump for best results since the pump is too strong and was pulling fish into the filter. I do plan on letting them breed in there and harvesting when I want to eat tilapia.

    Still have the Motoroal Edge. Not the greatest phone, but the best I could afford when my Pixel got dropped and started having some issues. The Pixel works for PoGo, but the bad edge of the screen was causing some issues with other apps.

    Only as a secondary device that I use solely for one of my alt accounts in Pokemon Go.

    Thinking about quail and have questions.

    A butterfly net can help catch quail. Mine are usually calm enough to catch without too much trouble, but sometimes there's a skittish one. Quail can become more friendly, but I have never had a quail as friendly as the chickens that I don't spend a lot of time giving treats to. Chickens are...

    Small indoor pond. I have an atrium! The pics are old, but it's too dark now to take new ones.

    Don't get medicated feed. Does your local feed store have turkey starter?

    Sexing and color help

    It may be hard to vent sex in the winter. Unless they're getting supplemental light, they won't be sexually active or laying, which makes it harder.

    Sexing and color help

    None of those are feather sexable at this age. You have a few that you may be able to tell by facial markings after their head feathers come in. The tuxedo will not be feather sexable, nor will the rosettas or tibetans.

    Thinking about quail and have questions.

    1 - It depends on the personalities of the males in question. I keep 20 square foot pens with 12 birds, 2 males, 10 hens, but sometimes the males will fight. When that happens, I cull one or both of the males and try again until I get ones that get along. The more hiding places you have, the...

    Thinking about quail and have questions.

    1 - The disease issue is more chicken to quail. Chickens have resistances to several common diseases that quail do not. 1a - The 6'x 10' pen will probably work for quail, but make sure that it is covered with 1/2" hardware cloth and predator proof. 1b - a LOT. You want them to have at least...

    What diameter feeder opening for my coturnix quail?

    I wouldn't mind getting some of my old line back. They had some really fun colours. Have you seen my new button habitat?
