1. Dust Bath Medium. Can i just use play sand or is there anything specific?
2. If im building an outdoor pen for the dust bath could i bury a litter pan up to the top and fill it with the medium? Does anyone have a better method than that?
3. Breeding Colony question. if i get 1 male 4-6 females would it be better for me to leave all birds together at once or circulate the females to give them a break from breeding?
4. Growing foilage in the pen? i have very little room to build the pen but want to make it large as possible. if i built it over my berry garden would it be okay? i wouldn't eat the fruit anymore but i don't produce enough food to justify wasting the space for the garden anyways. there are strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and black berries. would it be okay if they ate these things?
5. I raise & breed mealworms for reptiles, could i free feed these or is there a max amount they could eat?
6. i think after a while they will destroy all grass and stuff, can they eat wheatgrass (catgrass) then i could grow it outside of the pen and put post of grass in if they ruin the grass.
7. is there a way to keep track of which eggs popped out of which female?
Thanks! ill probably have more questions later.
