TO ALL WHO WISH TO FEED ORGANIC formulas to game birds and our beloved Quail.... I want to help you be humane and educated in your decision on feeding. Hello, I am slowsprings and I have researched this feeding option for the last 11 months. I finally found a miller in Colorado , Ranchway Feeds...

Do you cover yourself with an LLC...which by the way we have done. LLC covers you to an extent that a person can not sue you for everything you have for having become sick from your eggs or sick birds being sold. I am not a lawyer, but have been a small business owner and wife to a small...

GRRRRR. Relative to the "help my quail's feathers are all falling out" thread....I have a near naked pen and a chronically picked/naked back girl(s). I have found the culprit. She has a distinct hump on her beak and is mean as h.e. double toothpick. I want to cull her as I do NOT want that...

One open class young lady brought in a sick Auracauna (unbeknownst to the superindendants) and now a whole row has upper respiratory INCLUDING a pen of 12 white coturnix who now have swolen faces. I got with the intendants last night and we planned to get them out of there as well as others and...

I wanted to share with others what I have done in order to be able to sell Coturnix Quail eggs for consumption. Here in Colorado Coturnix Quail eggs do NOT fall under the Dept of Agriculture Egg laws/act/statutes. You MUST contact your State Dept. of Agriculture for the answer as to whether or...

You know that I want to sell eggs for consumption. Some hens have been with the roos shorter than two weeks ago. I refridgerate the eggs at 35 F (my written plan accepted by the local health dept states to hold at 41F). I do not like the idea of people trying to incubate these eggs when they...

We have a lot of Quail keepers in the path of destruction these last days. I hope you are all well and I am thinking of you, worrying for you and your animals. I will think good thoughts for anyone who was in mother natures path, and for their animals. Tonya

On another thread titled "taming bobwhites" we found out the pros and cons of keeping that species and their "tame-ability". Some were true whisperers with their quail, some had tales to tell about the aggression. I have a better grasp on the Bobwhite as a species for keeping with a youngster in...

I asked earlier about selecting or culling roos that could be nasty. You all gave some good answers. Now. I have what I thought would be a nice roo in with 5 females. He appears to have two favorites who are submissive to him. The other three avoid him like the plaque and are thus being pecked...

You know the little dome shaped one for classrooms? It was my starter and now I have outgrown it, trouble is...it is spot on every time with good hatches, great computerized temp and turning, humidity... Just an awesome little bator....LITTLE. I almost jumped on that Brinsea sale for the...

OK, my 9 wk old females are being dragged pecked and beaten by their roo. The happy little trio has become a nightmare fight. Sometimes they don't even lay because he goes after them when I enter the room. But then when I remove him, one female calls and calls to him. He is nothing too...

Hello, Tonya here, normally over on Quail forum. Have had Runners and Campbells. Wanting to help an old friend who wants to stock his well protected farm pond and pasture with ducks that will have a tendancy to go broody and hatch their own. He has got a nice place (used to be my farm ) The...

If I am selectively breeding and keep choosing for a heavier bird....at what age and weight can I start calling that Coturnix stock Jumbo? Original Coturnix normal female adult weight is what? 5 -6 oz Looking at hatching eggs from a Coturnix egg seller who claims females average 9 oz (didn't...

Excellent posts on the biosecurity and keeping/avoiding keeping chickens and game birds. Thank you so much Robo, JJ, others... So, since I have a 4-H child (clover bud actually, since he is only 5) and we want to share our quail project, what is the safest way to do so? NOT TO...

:rolleyes:Hate to compare species, but you do see some of the heavy breed of chickens taking more time to mature, so they can put that body "style" on, and THEN start laying. You wonderful Jumbo Co-op people can perhaps answer the average onset of laying for your heavier birds as part of the...

What do YOU consider the best time to hatch out your specific species of quail? Please list your species, and if you have multiple feel free to state their times too. Why? What factors made you came to this decision? Fertility? Convenience of temps outside? Light hrs in day? Thank you in...

Now, I have read the stickies and they are awesome. I have tremendous respect for some of the heavy hitters here who are always ready to help. It is the business I have been in my entire career with animal protection, and hats off to you. I think you people are the bomb. I continue to do so...

I have a little trio of browns who are 4 weeks now. 2 hens 1 roo. How soon after they begin laying and he is doing his duty, may I have a hopefully fertile clutch to put into the bator? Do you want to wait until they are a little older? Feeding gamebird starter, and ground oyster shell, the...

I have been reading much of your threads if not all so that I can catch up. I am new and would like the size, but also the wonderful color mutations. I realize that the jumbo size comes in the A & M and the normal wild color Pharoah. What other color mutations seem to correlate with a...
