Can't bring your chickens indoors? Try small breed pigeons and quail.
We will discuss the ins and outs and pros and cons of keeping pigeons and quail. Kristen brings in 3 house pigeons and two button quail. Of course, they are flying around the studio and the pigeon diapers leave something to be desired.
The pigeons are just raised as pets as are the button quail. But Coturnix quail are very popular and are mature in only 5 -8 weeks. They also lay about 300 eggs a year.
WARNING: Only for the advanced stage crazy chicken enthusiasts. OR The gateway bird into chicken mania and beyond.

Live from Creedmoor, NC, Video Chicken Live is a fun and informative show about all things chickens and coops. Matt, Kristen, and Ingrid answer your questions. We specialize in chickens and chicken coop construction.
This week we are showcasing what is new for 2024 and all the products, coops, and other chicken related things that are on the horizon for the new year.
One of the products is from Modern Mills, called Acre. We have spoken about this product a great deal. We will be using it to replace the high density polyethelene that lines the henhouse and egg hutches. It is a much more sustainable product and as a company, Carolina Coops want to move away from plastics and to a product that is better for the environment.
Because of the nature of the Acre product, it will actually create much less waste in our manufacturing, another huge plus for us.
We also talk about the new back doors on the Carolina Coop and more. We also address some chicken keeping questions that have recently arose and answer all your questions live.

Video Chicken Live: Protecting Your Flock with an Aviary: 12.1.2023
Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
Live from Creedmoor, NC, Video Chicken Live is a fun and informative show about all things chickens and coops. Matt, Kristen, and Ingrid answer your questions. We specialize in chickens and chicken coop construction.
We're back! This week we are discussing using poultry netting to create an aviary to protect your flock from aerial predators.
Hawk pressure is big this time of year, also owls hunt earlier when the days get shorter. Roosters, guardian geese, and dogs can't always protect your chickens and ducks.
With an aviary, your flock can be safe and you can have peace of mind too.
Check out how Matt and his team built a beautiful aviary over a custom chicken and custom goose coop we built previously. Matt details the methods they used to put up the poultry netting, down to the tools and materials needed. He also discusses the problems and pitfalls to look out for. (please check it out on YouTube for the amazing visuals)
