    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 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

    I live in far western Kentucky. 27 years ago we started raising Coturnix quail. We had about 500. A LOT OF EGGS! They make great deviled eggs and pickled eggs! We now raise 10,000 Bob White quail each year.

    your feeding box with the holes to reduce waste is incredible. I raise chickens from egg to dinner/breeders and wasted feed is a real expensive problem and YOU HAVE SOLVED MY PROBLEM AND I THANK YOU!

  • @Slightlyrednecked
    @Slightlyrednecked 5 лет назад +134

    Thanks so much for the glowing recommendation of my channel. A tip on the water when it is freezing, use a container similar to your feeder. It doesn't need to be as fancy but cut holes in the side of a Tupperware style container and they can get their heads in to get a drink but can't get in the water to fowl it up. Good luck on the birds you mixed in too. They tend to get aggressive when introduced to new birds and they can beat the tar of them. The most common issue is pecking the eyes. usually they work it out but sometimes you will lose a bird or two to overly aggressive hens.

I was actually warned about those hazards by a salesman who represented the company that first sold that to farm and nursery stores. I have discovered that it will kill earth worms very quickly, too. So I am always very careful with that stuff.

      Think 1oz to a liter of sand volume. My sand bath batches are 5 parts sand, 1-2 parts fine soil, 1 part fireplace ash, 1 part dried coffee grounds and a 1/4-1/2 cup diatomaceous earth. Mix in a 5 gallon bucket and I have been using cereal boxes with front of the box cut out (leaving 1/2" lip) for disposable sand baths. The lip keeps the sand in longer and you can toss them when they get too beat up.
