    Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
    We put out new videos every week! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

    Hey there kiddos. well I raised some Black Polish-White Crested Birds also. They are a lot friendlier than most birds. We actually named some. We could call one little rooster and he would come running. You have your Silkes & Cested together. To keep blood line strait you will have to separate them for a peroid of time-then you can mix them back together. If you do not your eggs will have mixed variety when sitting time comes around. When sitting time came around I always had some mixed Bantam hens. They want to sit they do not care. I actually put some mallard duck eggs under her and she hatched them out. It looked funny ducks following the chicken around. We had a pool. When ducks got in the water mama got pretty upset. Oh Well have a wonderful day. I love you. Dewayne Willis

    In my childhood the duck eggs were given to hens to hatch.
    It was funny watching those little ducklings in the pond and the mother hen running around, protesting and warning them.

    However often I see little babies, I still have a sharp intake of breath and go "ahhh it's a little one" as the gosling came into view in their house! I also love seeing how the family unit protects the little ones by surrounding them.

    That t-post driver sure seems like a good investment every time I see you use it. Yes, you bought it due to back problems; and it would save folks from developing (as bad) back problems if they began with one in thier young years. The ease that you put in the t-posts outside of the silkie pen and speed/ time savings just seems like the cost of the t-post driver will be saved many times over during its life time.

    For five years my wife and I Had an urban farm and raised quail for eggs and meat for sale at Sacramento area farmers markets. We went through many of the same trials that Kevin and Sarah did. We wanted to raise them on the ground but found for incubation and egg sales, having the quail in cages with egg roll outs Is a must. But o raise out a new batch of meat birds or breeders, at three weeks old we would put them in 12 inch tall quail tractors that were 30“ x 8‘ and fit the dimensions of our market garden beds. They eat the old crops pests, and weeds, fertilize the bed and we can call our quail meat pasture raised. Once the quail ladies started to lay eggs then we would put them into the rollout cages. Hope this helps someone with their quail journey. 🐦

    We had trouble keeping Polish Chickens as they couldn't see the hawks due to their poofs. We had better luck when we put them in an overgrown blackberry patch but it still didn't work out. Our Polish rooster, "The Colonel" was the meanest rooster we ever owned. The hens were some of the kindest we have ever owned. They were great for brooding eggs! On our property, under our circumstances, it just didn't work out. I hope you have better luck than we did. They were a fun breed despite the obstacles we had! I miss them. Great video! The goslings are so cute! Take care.

    Good morning, I'm sorry to hear that the quail didn't work out in the hoop house. We were afraid of that. We tell everyone that asks us that it will be an Easter egg hunt every day. Hopefully, you will keep them back in the stacked cages. You were the last shipment before I got ill, and we enjoy the updates.

    We raise quail outside in an enclosed lean-to with an enclosed pen with chicken wire all around it. They are on the ground and we put a little bit of hay around the inside walls. They lay on the ground and we never have trouble finding the eggs. And they aren't on wire, it's on dirt.

  • @greendesert928
    @greendesert928 8 месяцев назад

    We have our quail in a small A-frame coop on an 8'x4' 30" high raised bed. There are 10 female, 2 male in that space and egg collection is easy to just reach in ( I use a grabber stick to dig around and collect them) without bending over or worrying about stepping on them. Another benefit of being on the raised bed in a smaller coop is it's shorter so they don't get the momentum to jump up and break their necks. We started them off on wire too and it just got depressing and we almost gave up. This is a better system, the quail are happier, no more scalping and fighting.

    Such a great addition, those polish crested are adorable. The quail are just so sweet. We have a small coop that we place in larger coop with the newbies in it, after a day or so we just open the door on small coop and they all act like best friends. I so want a t-post driver like yours😂, I still have an arbor to create for grapes.
