I am in savannah, Tn. We have goats, chickens, rabbits, and a horse. I am mostly interested in chickens, but get to take care of the rest, also!

Good talking to you yesterday. thanks for letting me know about this forum! I lost two of the quail that I got from you at the sale and one of my bantam chicks last night to a snake. I don't think the snake will be any more trouble for us though.

Welcome. I don't kill the snakes- I relocate them if necessary.

I don't like snakes had one in my quail pens last week ate eggs but no birds . Sent from my C771 using ProBoards Last summer I had a snake get in a quail pen. It had one in it's tummy and couldn't get back out of the cage. There was another one that was dead. Probably killed it'self and one was still alive and wanted out real bad. Can't say as I blame it.

Chow is the one i was talking about you geting some quail eggs from at the sale Sent from my C771 using ProBoards I could bring some to the swap in trenton on the 28th. I'm sure i'll have plenty. I may even bring a quad thats just starting to lay. I saved them for someone and they backed out. The roo is unrelated to the hens. I've had over 20 hatch today. I only have 1 bator going right now and they're laying more than I have room for. I've got 2 trays thats going out to the orphs. They love snack time. lol But their like goats and will eat anything. I finally got the splash and black silkies separated too so now I have pure black bearded and pure splash bearded SQ silkies. The buffs started laying and i'm still getting 1 porcelain egg a day and the paints are on vacation. (lazy moochers) the sizzles stopped laying when their pen got broke into and an egg got partially eaten that Pricilla was sitting on. I get an egg every now and again from them and the same with the turkeys. When whatever it was got her eggs out from under her she hasn't laid any since. I've got a live trap set but haven't caught anything yet. If I have any silkie eggs i'll bring them too
