Peeping at the drakes while they're on their honeymoon hahaha.

Sukha is the most spiritual bird I have.

Rain or shine, he's always calm.

Oh, but he'll scream at the top of his lungs if there are strangers or predators.

Coffee and goose

It's a treat when Emma wants to play since she usually keeps a safe distance. Her feathers are the softest like silk. While Bebe, the one at the back constantly wants hugs and pets; she would go "wuuuuuuu" in jealousy when I pet another geese infront of her.

My 2 roosters keep waking me up between 4-5am. They don't stop. They each have 4 and 3 girls each respectively. Their hutch is on my porch. I'm thinking about moving the roosters farther away and bringing them back to the females for play once awhile. Most likely they'll hurt or kill eachother correct? I want my precious sleep.

Enjoying summer naps together.

While the 2 boys(white) are calm and zen

Featuring pretty Emma at front

Hope all of them get it soon .

Joy ride on the palmobile.

Gourmet meals multiple times per day.

Endless worms, slugs, flies, ants, beetles in the run.

The light brown's one belly is about to touch the floor.

Here's my long neck jumbo white quail.

Sorry, I just had to 😂

It's molting season and he lost his tail/flight feathers.

This is beautiful Sukha, hoping he regrows some beautiful feathers this season!

Which group are your geese?

Sukha is the only one that can catch up.

He's sometimes torn between slowing down for the slow trio or speeding up to catch up with me.

As a gosling, he always tried to race me

He developed wet feathers but his legs are still as fast as ever.

Version 1.0 in the making.

The lumber was $30 to build this much.

6 of 2x4x8 spruce lumber untreated.

Screws about $2 or less.

The plastic wrap is free. I'm going to wrap it around the bottom of the wood. I figured it'll keep the lumber longer from any moisture from food, water and poop.

I bought the 2x4 and cut them in half myself to save money.

No doors, watering system, latches, hardware cloth(most expensive), poo trays yet.

The angled hutch is for an egg collection tray (hopefully it works).

Dimensions are 1.4ftx4.2ft per level and the whole hutch is 6ft high. I may cut off the legs a bit as I'm shorter.

Watched many hours of quail hutches to see what I enjoyed.

I like the poo trays(easy to clean).

I like them 12" high (less chance of death).

I like the tilted bottom so eggs roll out(easy collection, less chance of egg eaters and no need to disturb them).

Currently raising ducks and geese. Quails are a new project. Hope this home will be good for 8-10 per level as according to Myshirefarms 3.5 quail/SF or 3 Jumbos/SF. I could go for 17-20 per level if I follow that rule of thumb but I want my quail to have slightly more room. I plan to build a walk-in aviary later on.

Just like an oil change and off he goes.

She only laid one egg. ONE the entire season.

Maybe she's fattening up for more.

Her weight is accumulating though.
