    Things you wish you could say

    I had a pair of dogs on my property again today. They didn't get any of my chickens or quail, but they were definitely sniffing around them. I've beefed up my security a fair amount since the last dogs wiped out over 40 of my growouts and since raccoons got my first flock of chickens, but I...

    ⭐ Kiki's Year Long 🌶️

    I'm worried about mine. The buds on mine look like they're dying. I have it set up in my atrium and I potted it up.

    Setting up a makeshift brooder

    That's probably a bit big for quail chicks. They get lost away from the heat very easily during their first two to three days of life.

    Looking for snowflake Bob White Egg for hatching

    :welcome You might want to check your state thread to see if anyone near you has them. Make sure you have any permits you may need. Coturnix don't need permits in most states, but bobwhites usually do. Good luck, and let us know how your search goes.

    What made you happy today?

    In my state you can collect what hits the roofs of your buildings and nothing else.

    Good grief, you tell me you got a job, but you don't know when you start or where to go? How do you expect to get to work on time? It's your responsibility, not your parents' to make sure you get there on time.

    There's a phone app called Any List. You can share the list with anyone you like. It's very convenient for shopping lists because if you see that you need something, you add it to the list, and the next time either of you is at the store, they check the list and pick up what's on it.

    Is it possibly out of 60 eggs and for 0 to even devolop

    It's possible. Were these shipped eggs or local? If they were shipped, there are all kinds of things that could have happened in transit to ruin all of them. If they were local (which it sounds like), there are still factors that could have affected their chances of development. Temperature...

    Vent sexing question

    Not necessarily. A recently mated female will still be carrying foam.

    Runny yolk in incubator

    You can put it in a spoiler. Plenty of us are accustomed to gory pics, but the spoiler makes it so only people who want to see the images will do so.

    What kind of live traps do you use? I've been told that the ones advertised as live traps for raccoons won't actually hold them.

    I have one of those. I want more, but they're not in the budget right now.

    Things you wish you could say

    I have a video of my last flock getting taken out by a gaze of 6 of those things. They are cute, but as you said, they are chicken murdering machines. I am ready for the day when I catch one or more of them.

    There will always be someone who hates you for some reason or another. It may be shallow, it may be legit, but there will also be people who love you. Let the ones who hate you go, hang on to the ones who really love you. As long as you keep trying to be the best person you can be, you will...

    Help talk me into quail (for meat)

    I would be careful of using paper towels as bedding. I can't see how much texture they have, but if they're too smooth your chicks can end up with leg injuries. I recommend grippy shelf liner for their first couple days, then over to bedding (I use pine shavings, but there are plenty of good...
