More questions and I like your idea! I can't thank you enough for all your help all the time 💟 Most oyster shell I'm seeing is big pieces. Can a coffee grinder make it smaller? Or is the average size ok? And can it be chicken eggs too or only quail. Just curious if I need to keep egg types...
Now that they are laying they need extra calcium right? I know I can give shells and oyster but would rather just have a complete feed in case I'm busy. But, I can't seem to find anything for layers with enough protein. Could I mix my own? Like half layer that is 20 % protein, half high protein...
I can wait three more weeks! I do only go in their about twice a day. To turn on and off lights. There is also a big shop light on top. It's pretty bright in there.
They are in two breeding sets of 4 to one rooster in nice cages. The other males are in two separate small cages, but all same room, all 12. One roo isis horribly mean and one is just a freak no offense to him they shall be culled soon for dinner. But maybe it should be today's dinner?

They have always had supplemental lighting, but anything is possible (other than eggs 🤣) I've read and read! My friend has hers outside in her barn in the rabbit cages. where horses cats, dogs, and goats all roam around where they can see. She's convinced it's cause I'm trying too hard 🤦
Guess it's two feet by 3 feet. I took out the wire and put in shavings on trays. I also made a tiny entrance to nesting box so they had more privacy. They have two hides in each cage other than nesting area and some sticks to jump over. My friend (adopted grandma) has nothing fun inside and they...
I have two sets of breeding quail. They are 9 weeks old today. Ratio is 4 hens to each male. I feed them 30 percent protein game starter. They each have their own rabbit hutch that is 2ft by 4ft with an enclosed nesting area. They have free choice feed and water. They have been out in the bigger...
