I'm kind of surprised that any quail hens would use a box, I thought they wouldn't so I didn't bother (but we've kept small closed up boxes in there for them to play with, they like jumping up on them), but after reading this I decided to try a tissue box out with my indoor quail pair. I don't have a tissue box of the same size or any foliage, so i used a longer box and both the hen and roo loved the box, and since it has an edge to it, the bedding doesn't end up everywhere (at least not immediately). An egg that was in the cage is now residing in the box, I want to see if she will start to lay in there (and if it will be cleaner, though that's doubtful). Interesting that the hen kicked the egg out of her way, but earlier the roo was gently handling the egg, moving it by cradling it under his neck. anyone ever seen that before?
Kathy, those sure are pretty quail, what variety are they? I'm still learning!
