I love your videos!

for collecting eggs, make the pen have a slight angle and have a opening just 2" along the bottom of the pen at the bottom of the slant, the eggs will collect there for easy pickings with less stomping loss. the slight angle doesn't seem to bother them.

I've watched a bunch of your videos. I really like them. You're living my ideal life. You are growing every crop I want except I would replace the pigs with snakes and mice instead, lol. Right now I only have a small indoor worm composter. I have to turn down more people for sales than I have worms. I have family land that I saw I could make those long rows you made for your worms. However, it is only land and has no electricity or sewage running to it. It does have access to a road.

Dam Greg you do everything I want to do already!!! With few exceptions !!! Hope your making money? Seems like your busier than a one legged hopscotch player!!!

The brooder has worked best for me. When I had them outside they did not lay as many eggs.

I took 3 years to get these rows to build up the three rows. Moles, chickens and ducks are my worst predators.

is it mandatory to use light to provide heat for newborn babies?

Do you keep your quail indoors 24/7?

what brand incubator did you use?

do you use 1/2 inch screen or 1/4 inch screen for the dropping to fall through?

When do they start laying eggs

Also, my aunt has a horse farm next door so that would be easy access for manure. Do you think it would be possible to start something larger scale out there? Do you have issues with your worms getting predation or excessive amounts of raccoons raiding the food scraps? I know a well can be dug but that sounds expensive. I'm a college student so I don't have much to invest. Thanks in advance for reading this.

where to get the cages?

is the brooder their final home? can they live outside in the same little coop? I was thinking of attaching something like this to my chicken coop. What about drafts and winter time? :)

Curious to see what my male to female ratio is. They are 11 days old. They flutter about really bad.

are your males the same age usually if you put a young male with an older male they start fighting it happen to me once and what i did was i put it with the one his age and didnt fight and im getting 98 to 100 percent hatch rate

why do i need 4 females per male for hatching? and 8 females per male for the eggs? What is the difference? Thank you.

Hi, I have recently got myself 16 females and 5 males that i was planning on keeping for eggs. Im having trouble with the males ripping each others feathers off of there heads even to the point of bleeding on the head. I keep them all in one cage and its a pretty big cage i might add. Can u or anyone else here tell me if thats normal and what i need to do to keep that from happening?? Seems like they are just destroying each other by ripping the feathers off the head and even the skin. Thanx!

do u sale hatching eggs

no

they are doing that because theirs not enough females usually if you want to hatch if would be four females for every male if you just want to consume the eggs it would be as much as eight females to a male

yeah they were all the same age. I noticed when u bring in a new male even if he is the same age the other males are very territorial and dont wanna share their females with him and start packing on him.

***** Gah, forgot about the cats. My neighborhood's full of strays. I used this garlic-onion-ginger- and-urine based repelant before. Think it would work? Would it do anything to the birds?

***** EVERYONE'S tried that so now they're used to it. THey seem to hate garlic too so I was thinking that planting some might work or maybe leave it groud up all oer the place.

Totes KILL because they do not allow carbon dioxide buildup to dissipate and since co2 is heavier than air this is a perfect way to cause suffocation by lack of oxygen. If you must use totes use some common sense and cut a couple of 2" square holes in it and cover them up with screen or roll up a small piece of screen and place it into the holes. Although the heat lamp will help create a bit of air currents it may not be enough if you have a bunch of breathing birds in a otherwise sealed up container, the top being open really does not count if the air is very still since co2 sinks to the bottom and builds up from the bottom towards the lid.

That's really NOT true. I have raised chicks and quail in totes for years and NEVER had any die from it.

Where can I buy a cage like yours? Or do you have a blueprint which I can construct such a cage?
