Yeah much better today thanks. They seem to really like their pen, following some good advice ive put their food in the house for the night to try and encourage them in.
Ill try and get some pics up over the next few days. They are very pretty birds.

Yeah see thats what I had in mind. A nice solid mould.

You know what im gonna try and knock something up next week.

Yeah maybe some kind of Inserts for normal egg boxes. Saying that, i do have some Magnum icecream boxes that would be the perfect size for quail eggs. Againa they would need some kind of insert.

One thing I have noticed is that you cant buy quail egg boxes in anything other than plastic. I dont like plastic as im sure you understand but my question is, what could I make simple egg boxes from. Thinking maybe a mould, soaking newspapers with some added starch in the water and mould them in. T...

It seams the people of that forum all try to sell their own navitron products. I wanna make my own panel and heat exchanger!!!!

Hi Ruth,

Ive read that thread and all the links, Ill look at the Navitron forum for advice .

Right, We were thinking about making one of these last year but never got off the ground. As this year is on the way and life is looking up its time to think again. I want to make my own Solar Panel for hot water and need to make a heat exchanger as our cylinder has only one coil. Does anyone have a...

Thanks for the comments. The House is 2ft square so should be ok but I have designed it to be expandable. We have found somewhere local to get them (Chinese Painted) and have arranged to go over on saturday. As we are new to keeping poultry, I will have more questions. 'Do they walk up ladders?' I d...

Right im going to start building a pen next week for the quail.

Anyone got any good designs or pics etc etc. It doesnt matter how fancy or basic, just something to get the creative juices flowing if you know what I mean!! LOL

I leave my 2 dogs during the day, have done since they were wee pups. They are very well behaved and get a long walk everyday. I do just want to say one thing though and that is in my opinion, Dogs off leads is an irrisponsible thing to do. I know some breeds need more excersise than others but that...

Hi all,

I have some giant sunflowers and Big Red sunflowers growing at the moment indoors. The seedlings are all about 6" tall and have there first true leaves.
My question is, when can I plant them outside?

Im in Devon btw so a little warmer than the rest of the UK.

Its on my ear. Its not on the gristle though. Its almost right on the top of my ear in the flesh and its made the skin in that area almost loose if that makes sense?? It doesnt hurt at all but it has made me look like an elf :lol: Never had anything like this before and wondered if anyone else has h...
