So glad it was helpful and that you enjoyed it. Best of luck to you!

I honestly don’t know, I’ve never added liquid. I’m sorry.

This is an old video. Let me check on it for you and I’ll get back to you in just a bit.

I look the heaters up on Tractor Supply and I saw one that looks like mine but I have a better option for you. Follow this link: www.premier1supplies.com/p/heating-plates-and-covers?cat_id=232&ROI%29%20Heated%20Products%20-%20NB&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_j22gLVR0EoqyLwIUaU4-BnsUEK&gclid=CjwKCAjwqMO0BhA8EiwAFTLgIKW_bX9486gX79V-1_sM6K1-ZbsiFUxRmNZ0nOZL8mrvIi4LUNWOzxoCWs4QAvD_BwE. Premier1 is a good company and we’ve used them several times for poultry fencing, etc. and when I purchase another one, I will buy one with the domed top. It keeps the chicks from getting up there and pooping all over the place. They make such a mess.

@@SimplyMadeHomestead Thank You!

@floydburkett630 you’re very welcome!

I agree with everything you said.

We have 2 Pyre Poos, an Anatolian Shepherd and an Australian Shepherd mix.

So glad it helped.

@@jaybrowning2225 technically they can but they are not a vector species.

No but they can carry diseases.

Possums can't carry rabies generally. Their body temperature is too low.

@@Floridanative22 that's absolutely untrue they cannot contract rabies

@@jaybrowning2225 I know possums cannot. I thought that after I said it, I don’t know why I said that raccoon scan, but that’s more or less what I meant.

@@jaybrowning2225 I had pet yet wild possums for years where I’m from in Florida. They were wild yet. They were like my pets almost like a stray cat lol they are a clean animal harmless. They just look scary.

Salen cuando necesitan alimento o agua

They eat chickens and ours were out free ranging.

@@anjellalo972 they do eat grown chickens. As for our chickens, they are inside at night. As for our dogs, good for them! Why, because animals can climb over and under fences to harm animals and our dogs protect them.

They eat chickens. We have chickens. We also have guardian dogs that protect our farm. They did their job.

Opossum have a body temperature that is too low to carry rabies. It's not impossible,but extremely, extremely unlikely.

@@labrat7380 lol... I still love living in Ireland... There's literally no wild animals, full NHS health care paid for by a national insurance system.

Lived my whole life in the country and we always just call em possums lol

Yea, us too regardless of the official spelling, lol.

You are welcome!

It is and you can find inexpensive on Amazon for about $11. I’ll have to try the room temp for the egg and mustard. 😊

Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you to let me know. Let me know how it goes, I think you’ll love it 😊

So glad you enjoyed it.

Also one more question I'm sorry. If I have a heating plate that doesn't have an adjustment temperature, how do I use it? I know that with adjustable temperature things like a normal red light bulb or a heat plate we decrease it every week by 5f til they're fully feathered but what about if it can't be adjusted? How do they use these?

All very good questions and my first suggestion is take a deep breath and relax. Raising quail are super easy and I have NEVER used any kind of medications. The first part of their life they do need a protein feed of 28% and then lowered to 22%. I’ve forgotten at what age it’s changed. We no longer have quail only because we now live on a bigger piece of property and have expanded in other areas. Needed to let something go. I have a playlist on raising quail that should answer all of your questions and more. I highly suggest watching them all. There is a lot of information in there from hatching eggs to butchering. The quality of their feed and the protein is what will keep them healthy. They also need grit. I add a small plastic pan in their cage with sand in it and they love it! They flap their wings and cover themselves with it which keeps mites away and eat it which helps them to process their food. Once again, I can’t stress it enough, watch all of the videos, you’ll love them. Quail only live about 2 years max and if housed in clean, not overcrowded conditions, they will live healthy and well. Like any poultry, sometimes they just die which won’t be your fault, just nature. Sometimes they’re may be a bully that is just mean and likes to beat up on everyone. If you see that it’s time for him to go to freezer camp (eliminated) and replaced with a nice male. If you ever do see a wound, gently treat with wound care (blend of iodine and distilled water). If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I hope you enjoy the videos and have a wonderful day!

Here is a link to the coupling and bushing: amzn.to/3V80ypa Sorry I wasn’t more specific.

You are so welcome

They are always changing and evolving but if he likes patchouli, a patchouli and orange is yummy. I don’t have an exact ratio as I add orange to a cup and then scent it with patchouli until I get the smell that I find pleasant. Eucalyptus, spearmint, peppermint are all good clean minty scents too. If you go to www.eocalc.com/ you’ll find tons of blends there. I love this website and it’s a big help. Another one is pink grapefruit (80% of the scent) with a little litsea and a tad patchouli. Have fun!

Glad to be of assistance! How to attach: I had some heavy 9 gauge wire that I made a loose fitting loop with. You could remove the barbs from barbed-wire fence and use that too. You could even use rope, but that would be just a temporary hinge. Now to keep the gate closed I put a 1” pvc pipe into the ground where you want it to be closed and attached a straight metal rod to the gate. This will secure the bottom off the gate. And finally I use another piece of wire on top of the gate to fasten it to the fence. As for the spacing, I am not exactly sure what you mean so forgive me if my answer is off a little. While putting up the panels as a fence, I will use 3 T-posts for every panel section, but overlapping each panel by 8-10”. This way two panels will share a Tpost. So if you are only using 2 panels together, that’ll be 5 Tposts. But it will depend on what you’re using it for. I also have 350-400# hogs and place an electric wire on the inside to keep them off it. I hope this helps, I will try to send a pic of the gate for clarity when I feed the animals this morning.

I am unable to send pics or video through this chat. I did take a couple videos of various examples I did here for better clarification though. If you want them, text me at 423-888-7724 and I will send them to you. I am going to delete this thread tomorrow because of my cell number!

They probably just need more space. They are very flighty little things and at 2 weeks they are very active.

They’re wild. I wouldn’t cage them.

Yes, we love Ison’s.

We live in Florida so I just used sand out of the yard. But you can use builders sand that you can buy at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Use to it wasn’t very reasonable to purchase but I haven’t priced it in a long time. Use a kitty scoop to clean the pans and then just freshen with a little sand. It should last a good while for you. Thank you so much for watching, we love having you along.

I’m so glad you’re finding the videos helpful 😊. As for the rocks, just use your best judgment. They do become mobile quick so take them out and see how they do. If they are climbing all in there and getting wet so may want to leave them for another week. You just don’t want them to get chilled because they can die quick.

It will become more obvious over the next week. And if you gently mash on the little poochy part and white stuff comes out, that’s a male. Rewatch the video and keep looking. Even after doing it for awhile I’d miss a female and suddenly have an egg in the pen. That would totally freak me out and my husband and I both would be on a major hunt until we found her. Even then sometimes another female might turn up. Don’t be hard on yourself but keep a close check on them. You’ll be fine.

​@SimplyMadeHomestead thank you!

@@HA-zx2pk you’re very welcome. 🌻

I’m so glad it helped. Thank you joining me 😊

We lived in upstate New York for a few years and I really enjoyed visiting Boston and getting my fill of seafood that I missed so much. Plus, Boston was such a pretty city and we always had such a good time. I’m so glad you’ve joined us and I hope you continue watching and benefiting from our videos. Happy homesteading!

A 9 gauge wire. I know TSC has it, pretty sure Lowe’s and HD does too.

You're welcome

😂 isn’t that the truth!

we are so brainrot. that was also my first thought

😂

Not at all.
