    Thinking about quail and have questions.

    So will multiple males be ok as long as the ratio of 1 male to 4-5 females is kept? So a couple small wooden boxes (I’m thinking like guinea pig house sized?) would work better? The rabbit hutch would be kept in my basement safe from predators. I know how those things deteriorate when...

    Thinking about quail and have questions.

    I’ve been reading this forum and some of the articles here about quail since I think I’d like to have a small covey. 1. I read here to not keep chickens and quail together. From seeing predatory tendencies first hand I know chickens would definitely try to catch and eat any quail kept within...

    Adult hens getting into medicated chick crumbles?

    No one's laying at the moment so that's not much of a concern!

    Adult hens getting into medicated chick crumbles?

    I dumped the dregs of a bag of medicated chick feed in the run for the chickens to scratch around for. It was maybe about 1-2 cups worth. I didn’t think about it being medicated feed until after I had done it. It shouldn’t cause any issues with the adult hens getting it if it’s a one off treat?

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I think I have mine posted somewhere in this thread but maybe not. Here it is again. And I’ll have to whittle numbers down once all 10 babies get to laying age because my run isn’t big enough for 13 full grown hens sadly. I knew that when I place my order for chicks tho, I planned on seeing...

    Integration seems to be going pretty well. Knock furiously on wood.

    What to do? Floor built in Run.

    Pry the floorboards up and go with your original plan?

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I think I'm starting to like the previous feral and a-feared of humans chicks, rather than this batch who are super friendly. I cant even clean their feed/water/sleeping area out with out all of them being all up in my business, underfoot, and in the way. I guess I gotta cut back on the hand...

    Chicago rooftop

    Is there a balcony/deck directly below? I’d worry about waste dripping or being kicked out to the area below.

    run question

    My feeders and waterers are in the run so I’m constantly in and out of the run. Access to grab randomly laid eggs (it most definitely will happen), a sick or hurt chicken, cleaning or inspecting the run structure. There’s many reasons to need easy access to the run. Build a door to it...

    Three gallons fills it to just barely under the rim.

    Moved the flock

    When I moved my flock of 6 from their temporary pen to their permanent pen, I locked them all in the coop for 3 days with food and water. That way they know the proper place to lay eggs and where to roost. My run is also very secure but I didn’t want them sleeping or laying eggs in the run.

    Moved the flock

    Put food and water in the coop and keep them in the coop itself for 2-3 days to home them to the new coop.

    Water heater is heating to 105 F

    I can't honestly say. The couple times I filled it from empty after scrubbing it out I used the hose. In the winter time I do use a gallon jug to refill it but have never had it go completely empty. Tomorrow when I top it off, I'll dump it and see how many gallon jugs it takes to fill it.
