Care Instructions for New Owners
This document addresses the most common questions that we are asked by new owners. It covers such topics as incubating and hatching eggs, housing, feeding, equipment needed, and precautions. It is not a regurgitation of material read in one of our recommended books. It is advise based on our own successes and failures.
Supplemental Food Source
This is an instructional on how to grow sprouts and fodder for the quail and rabbits. There are many different ways to do it, this is our method.
Egg Tracking & Aviary Management
This spreadsheet is the most comprehensive method that we have found to document and track egg collection, hatches, aviary population, sales, costs, investments, and losses. We used and revised it for a year before publishing, and will periodically re-publish new revisions here. Your improvement suggestions are welcome.
