I’ve just hatched 45 out of 50 jumbo Wisconsin bobs from Wadley quail farm in my hove-bator 1602n and an auto egg turner.
I’ve been hatching for a long time and this was a great one. It started slow and then went like popcorn!

one of my local guys has Kalmbach products.
they appear to be an independent manufacturer of animal feeds but at this point who the heck knows.
any info would be appreciated.
thanks!
We have all seen the videos , read the reports and had our own experiences on the hens not producing.
we have questioned certain brands of feed and it’s effectiveness.

I have a small flock of Toulouse geese. 1 male and three females. last year they produced a pile of eggs but I never saw them mate. Are geese just more private or is "Bernard" not doing his job? I could try a hatch but 4 of those things is enough for me . lol.
The reason I ask is i had a wild...

how do you folks scare away hawks.
The sit on my chicken coup, quail cage and pheasant run. The geese honking and hissing has no affect. Do you put out spinners or scare crow type things.?
im getting ready for spring egg laying and this is my first spring with California quail.
Will they lay in a nesting box or just wherever Like cots do?
Thanks

I currently have Coturnix quail and am ready to start incubating a batch. I have also just ordered some California valley quail eggs for hatching. if i stagger the start date so they hatch at approx. the same time will i have any problems raising them together?
Thanks!!
