They're not to noisy and I've made loads of new friends by advertising them on a board outside! I keep chickens but no rooster, I just keep them for the delicious eggs!

However as long as they are kept inside and the neighbors don't complain, I can raise quail in a shed in the backyard. I'm not sure why I can't do this with chickens, but I can with game birds. My son is allergic to chicken eggs, but did not show any allergic issues with quail eggs, so I plan to raise quail in the spring of 2010. Wish me luck.

These are pets though, I would never slaughter them (I dont eat meat anyway). Buildling your own coop is so easy as you've said - and cheap. I've never seen Rhode Islands Whites, would be interested in seeing some photos if you have any? Yes I keep chickens, not a big flock but enough to gain the eggs we need in a week.

We are on Block Island and would like to buy a few (4) laying hens at the end of April. Do you know how we can do this? Thank you, Leslie Hi,
