Weather is messy:(sunny,and from nowhere come rain,and 2hours of rain ,then sunny:(
must plant some corn,but weather isnt good for that!

Komer, Great looking cages. Just what is that in the middle of your cages? It kind of looks like it could be some sort of Parrot. Hope you catch that there varmint that's been killing your birds.
By the way just where is Croatia at in this world we live in? s98
-
hehe...parrots are not interesting to me...like just gamebirds:)
Croatia is in Europe,near Italy,Slovenia,Hungary,Bosnia.....Adriatic Sea:)
-
Komer, Thanks for the reply, At least I now have a good idea in what part of this old world you live in. Hope everything works out for you in the gamebird world.

Hi there komer!
Sorry to here about the predators. That seems to be part of life in this business. Nice cage j2
What is the hot wire going to the cage? It looks like jumper cables.. Never mind, it is the ground cable from your buzz box.(welder)

today i made weasel trap:)from old wod,and some wires...will post pictures later
yeah,it is a gorund from welder:))

komer,
What are the requirements regarding the importation of either wild game birds or domesticated? Also do you have any rules and regulations that you have to abide by, and are there any inspections or tests H5N1?
I had noticed in the WHO publication that there was only 1 case of the Avian Influenza, 21 October 2005. That Croatia's first reports H5N1 in wild birds (migratory swans). H5N1 Continues to be reported in wild birds on routine surveillance, through April 2006. Was this anywhere located by you?
There hasn’t been any cases since then to date. Is this correct?
Steve

Oh, and for those interested for the U.S.,
14 August 2006 USA detects LPAI H5N1 in wild Mute Swans in Michigan.
02 September 2006 USA detects LPAI H5N1 in wild ducks in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Steve

my supplier is only breeder in croatia that breed hungarian partridges and phaesants...he works for hunters and breed birds for them,and i will get health certification with birds,off course...that is main thing for me...just need health birds:)
today iam working on cages for rabbits,they will be similar to quail cages,but with some modification....just need 4 box for rabbits...and when my welder maschine is overheated,i work on partridges houses:)
for rabbits,just welded soem frames,need to buy some wire and weld it on frames.
this will be one side of house for partridges:)

(http://www.imagesforme.com/out.php/t61083_IMG0573.jpg) (http://www.imagesforme.com/show.php/61083_IMG0573.jpg)
have about 120 quail eggs in incubator,i hope so i will have at least 50-60 quails to put in cages:)
ps.forgot to take picture of predator trap:(
edit: just have change,i gave 5 bantam chicks,and get 6 "not wood"-my mistake in english translation,mallard duck chicks:)
-
Nice looking property. What is the tall building in the background? Looks like our feed elevators here.
Your quail cages look great. Are the tin looking things in the front of them doors or feeders? s98

thanks,in the background is a feed silos:)thins things will be removed,because this cages was for little rabbits(chinchilas),but i will put some wires and make doors:)
-
komer, (gave 5 bantam chicks,and got 6 wood duck chicks) That sounds like an awful good deal . I would have jumped on that in a heart beat. But in my case I really don't have a good place to put wood ducks right now. You do what you gotta do when a good deal comes along
Has anything hatched yet?
-
have just 10 bantam eggs in incubator...yesterday was 2 chicks out at midnight,maybe tomorrow will put some chick eggs in incubator,have some orders:)
-
big news that iam in game bird gazette magazine,in news section:)
-
komer, That's great. I haven't got mine yet, My fault forget to renew. s98
-
Komer, Great to read about you in the Gazette.
-
Hey Komer,
It was nice to see you in the Game Bird Gazette. Those are great pictures of your quail. Keep up the good work!
-
Thanks to all...must say iam very happy because of that...hope i will have more articles with some news:)
-
big news that iam in game bird gazette magazine,in news section:)
I just located the article that you're in.......... s98
Is "Elvis" a common name in your country? Just curious, I've only known of one "Elvis", and that was Elvis Presley. I still remember the day and where I was at (1975?) when the news came over the AM radio that he had died. My father went to Germany on the same ship (US Army) with him in 1959. My older brother was born in Germany, I think that it was Frankfurt.
-
Elvis is very rare name in Croatia,almost like Velimir(my name)..

Congratulations Komer s98

ringneck hen is on the nest(8 eggs)
iam building new incubator...

(http://www.imagesforme.com/out.php/t68353_IMG0596.jpg) (http://www.imagesforme.com/show.php/68353_IMG0596.jpg)
this is for now,must buy turning motor,thermostat will be done soon,will post pictures....
for turning i use gbf trays,so i welded floors(6 floors) for trays:)
-
thermostat
(http://www.imagesforme.com/out.php/t72965_picture112hx8kg1.jpg) (http://www.imagesforme.com/show.php/72965_picture112hx8kg1.jpg)
On LCD first is temperature in °C,next to temperature is humidity,P shows how many precent is heater in use,"okr" means turning in minutes,thermostat is fully programable,for turning i can defien how many ms(miliseconds) is motor turned on,alo have a temperature log,so i can see every past hour how was the average temperature(if thermostat didnt turned off),output for heates is triac 16A,for egg turning is relay,also have space for humiditiy control,but it isnt programmed for humidity control..i can choose on/off function,P(proportional), I(integral), or D(derivation0)..another project will be with better pic microprocessor,better sensor(SHT75-humidity and temperature in one sensor accuracy 0,3°C and +/-2.5% humidity i think...
-
Looks good Komer, nice vegetation growing in the pen.
You may be able to pick up satelite signals and communicate with the space station when you get that incubator going. It's definitely "heavy duty" and may require a 5 horse power motor to turn it? LOL!! :grin:
-
hehe...wil try first with 8.5w motor wirh gearbox:)
we will see if that will works,if not,will buy some motor from cooker(25lbs like writes on it):)
-
i have 17 days vacation,so this will be working vacation:)
here is a cage for rabbits,but maybe i will use it for hungarian partridge chicks....we will see:)

i like welding:)so hope i will be done with cages very soon!
-
today i bought 30 hungarian partridges,5 days old,4 died i think because of stress during a hour and half long transport...didnt take picture of them so they can be without stress few days:)
-
komer, Did you ever get your incubator built? From the pics you posted it looked like you about had it done, and if so are you using it yet? and how does did it work .
-
incbator bilding is in progress..because most parts that i need is hard to find,yesterday a turning motor came in store after a month i ordered it,heating wire came yesterday by mail....it is a long time period because all parts i need i need to wait few days,weeks,months:(
will post pictures as soon i will do something new with incubator:)
