RE: A Walk Through the Farm, Update 1: Quails and Chickens
You have some beautiful chickens and quail. A few years ago, we had chickens, guineas, a few goats and a couple calves for our kids to bottle feed. We wanted the farm experience and that we got. We worked hard and enjoyed our experiences. Hope you continue to do well with your chickens and quail.
How'd you like the guineas? I was considering getting some, they're so pretty.
I liked the guineas but they have their own issues. They are poor mothers if you plan on raising them . Usually a mother chicken hen will hatch the guineas eggs and raise the babies as their own. Train them when they are young, if they aren't put up at night they will roost near your house. They make excellent watch dogs if something unusual comes around. They can be fun but they are a bird all their own. Good luck if you decide on getting them. Thanks for your reply.
