Just wondering how hard they are to keep. I had huge aggression issues with large numbers of bobwhite but had pretty good luck with them in small numbers. I've never kept chukar or really wanted to (because they're so common and I don't find them attractive or desirable) but I've heard quite a...

I'm excited to get the bator back up and running again. I'm going to get my bator back in working order and try to get my egg order in to alex in time to set 2/22. I want to have them sexed and culled out to sell the culls at auction 4/21, hurry up tax return, lol. If anyone wants to join me on...

I'm looking at 3 pair of fancy bobs next fall, I'm also getting into a small cot business in the next couple months. Soo... I was wondering if the bobs could be penned in the same breeder rack with my cots? In my plans I called for the top row to be slightly smaller pens (16" wide x2' deep) to...

So I'm going to try to get some brunner pouters, runts, hungarian house, and parlor tumblers or roller culls (a pair of each). My idea is more breeder pens than any thing. I want to make each unit 4'6" long 2' tall and 2' wide (2 units wide, 2 high) they will be totally ply wood except for the...

These birds havn't started to lay for me yet but they are of age and I've only had them for 3 days. I just wanted to put it out there that I will have hatching eggs for sale for local pick up in Riley,Ks as soon as they start to lay. If I don't have a full 1/2 doz. you can take them for .25 an...

Ok I finally got I place to keep some birds so I'm looking to buy some in the next year. My wish list includes- Runts, Parlor Tumblers, Pygmy, Hanna, or Brunner Pouters, and either Russian Tumblers or Hungarian House. I need to do some more research on the last 2. I'm not sure if theres much...

I've found that there is a large gap in protein percentages around here and the next highest over 22% I've found is 32% but it's something like $23 a bag. So my plan is to mix it with whole milo and bring it down to 28% or so and save some cost. Dose anyone know about what the protein percentage...

Ok first of what is your rate of lay like, and what variety/s do you have? I plan to keep tux and "a&m" to start my line from at about 70 degrees and 12-14hrs of light. They will be in rollout pens with 3 quads each and cycled out after 9 months of production. Also what scales do you all use to...

Lease/Rent quotes wanted for building and land to keep poultry and livestock Property must be zoned for livestock and within ~6 miles of Riley. Your quote should include monthly charges for water and power usage. I’m looking to spend $75-$150 a month also willing to provide occasional free...

So I've seen this done in a commercial setting with leghorns so it must be pretty reliable just wondering if anybody has tryed it at home and if it can be used with other fowl (quail, pheasant, turkeys, guineas, ducks...) For those of you that don't know what this is I will explain the best I...

I caught a feral squeaker at work today when I was getting off work so I have A bird.... just for tonight though I'm not supposed to have critters in my at my apt. so I'm meeting a freind at a swap tomarrow and giving it to him.

I want to setup a mixed breed loft for Russian Tumbles, Brunner Pouters, Parlor Rollers, and Runts or AGH. I was wondering how to set up for the non-flying breeds could they get to an elevated nest? I will add more later.

Looking for info to make either or, I got some good potent HM apple wine givin to me last year and would love to try my hand at making some.

I'm interested in the following breeds: Runts/Giant Homers, Parlor Rollers, Splash Russian Tumblers (which I fist saw mislabeled as saints), Hana/ Pygmy Pouters. I used to keep some mixed up rollers and ferals, and I had a low quality fantail hen in there at one point but, I want to get back in...

can you keep multiple pairs in the same pen? I read that males are agressive and it's not a good idea to house them together, I only want about 3 pairs and want them outside but I don't want to build a bunch of differnt pens that will only house a pair. Also do the pairs "bond" or will they...

This breeder has silver, smokey grey, blonde, orange, and fawn mex. speckled bobwhite. I havn't even heard of these varieties until last week and this breeder is only 3 hours from me! You can check out the pictures here if you'd like http://www.leggspeafowl.com/Quail.htm I love the smokey greys...

I know it has been brought up before but I can't find it. I know that mixing species is generally not a good idea, and I'm sure I'll catch some flack but... In an 80sqft pen would 1 pair of ringneck doves and a colony of 30 bobs be ok? The bobs would be out during breeding season.

I was just wondering if ruffed pheasant (goldens/amherst) could be housed in the same pen with ringnecks? The design I've come up with would allow 36sqft per bird if I put a quad of each (8 birds) in each of the 2 pens. I want some Alaskan snow, Manchurian X, Red Goldens, and Lady Amherst but I...

I know the rabbit bottles tend to drip but is the extra cost for another water system worth it? which do you pros use and what are the advantages of one over the other? It seems to me like the cup would be able to handle more birds each but the nipples seem to be getting really popular. Can both...
