    Dispatching Quail

    I have some Coturnix quail that I need to harvest. I'm trying not to get attached to them, so I need to do it soon. I thought it would be easier to do since I hunt deer and turkey, but there's something bothering me about raising them to butcher. I don't hold them, play with them, etc. to make...

    Doing a test run of the new solar electric fence...

    I am diving into a much needed project. If you don't want to read the back story, just scroll down to the bold text :) I breed and exhibit poultry and waterfowl. The catch is that I don't really have any land to keep my birds on. Technically I do have land, but it's about an hour and a half...

    What age quails can live together?

    Currently I have 3 quails - all female. I have a 9 month and a 12month together. And right next to them another 12 month.

    Turkey Caruncles and Wattle variations??

    What is my Turkey?

    I have a Turkey hen who is supposedly a Sweetgrass X Standard bronze, but I have reason to believe her mother was actually a midget white, from the photos of her mother and siblings. I am just curious as to what she is. I can’t find any pictures that look like her, she has white wing stripes...

    Do this if your bird is in shock!

    Hello all, A while ago, my chickens and other poultry were being harassed by members of the canine group, and on three occasions I had come to find my birds in the drooling mouth of a dog and after chasing and rescuing my chicken from fate, I could clearly see they were in a shock. This is...

    What’s this bird??

    Out on our usual early morning stroll, me and my ducks came across this mystery!! I know it’s not one of my little quackers because the prints weren’t there last night and my duckies sleep in my room 😆. Any clues? We are stumped 🤔 could it be Santa already?! 🤣

    Hi. My mother and I just adopted a baby peacock today and I noticed tiny white bugs all over it’s face. They’re very small and go near the eye. They’ll burrow into the fur and leave tiny white particles (what I think might be eggs) on the strange of fur. I’m super concerned. I’ve done some...
