Separating her would definitely show you if she is the guilty hen. Also, she might not eat her own eggs. Had a hen like that once. Ended up culling her.
I was hoping to sell live birds and hatching eggs locally and raise them for meat.What are you doing with them? If you are selling pickled eggs to bar rooms ( which I sold a lot of) color of the eggs does not matter. If you are raising for meat go for the larger. I would go for the larger to encompass both uses. Is there a price difference at your supplier?
Our nearest neighbor is over 4 miles away. I doubt that she made it that far. We'll probably find her after the snow melts.Did you check to see what the neighbors were having for supper?
Oh my goodness.Our nearest neighbor is over 4 miles away. I doubt that she made it that far. We'll probably find her after the snow melts.
There was a joke in Alaska; how do you know it's spring time? When the first body pops out of a snow bank.Oh my goodness.
For a moment I thought you meant you would find your neighbor after the snow melts.
Personal opinion... Coturnix have very dark meat almost like a guinea hen or duck and not much of it and no large breast. (unlike a regular native quail) They eat LOTS for the amount of meat they produce. They do produce a large amount of eggs and we raised them specifically for the eggs. Pickled quail eggs are a specialty food and a common bar food in the south. That was our number one use of quail eggs. You have to look at what they eat compared to what they produce. Upside they are easy to raise and in most places do not require a game bird license. My biggest complaint about Coturnix in general was that all they did was eat lots and poop lots and lots. Always cleaning pens almost like a duck.I was hoping to sell live birds and hatching eggs locally and raise them for meat.
I don't know of any bars around here that would have a market for the eggs, but I will look into that.
The price isn't much different, but celedons are a tiny bit more.

I'm not really sure what a "nuclear winter" is, but we don't provide heat for our chickens now. They get by just fine.I was working in the big "henitentiary" and I started thinking- if there was a nuclear winter, what would you do with your chickens?
Just bring them inside to reduce the amount of wood you would burn?
It's Robin, but thanks. Yes, Buffs are super sweet.Sorry to hear that Danil girl! We love all the girls, but really love the buffs!
I'm clueless. Never clipped mine.I plan to clip my chicken's wing around this weekend and place them in their new home . Any advice on wing clipping and how high should I expect a chicken with a clipped wing being able to fly ?
