RE: The journey of Homesteading | Meet my Quails!

in Homesteadinglast year

hich is why most people don't care about what narrative is being pushed and the agendas behind apparently harmless government moves

Aaargh right?!

I'm not frustrated by this in the slightest XD

It's not just third world practises, "first world" places have some appalling conditions too >_< (I consider factory farms appalling no matter how "clean" and "within regulations" they are)

I was asking J for chicken breeds for you to look at and he pointed out that we might not have the same availability for chicken breeds x_x but basically if you wanted daily egg production look into the factory farming breeds, they will lay daily but are generally a bit more fragile and shorter lived. If you want low maintenance, look into "heritage breeds", some might lay daily and some will lay every couple of days, but they're generally tougher (both longer lived, longer egg production, long as they have a run or can free range they can scratch around for bugs and stuff and you should just be able to feed them kitchen scraps and only buy chicken food if you know you're going to be short on kitchen scraps or just want to boost the nutrition).

Least you won't need a huge run for quails as they're so tiny XD I probably don't need to remind you to make it completely enclosed but I'm going to say it anyway so I feel better :D
