Help me get started!

The ammonia is what I was talkin about. It sounds like you know what to expect. Changing the litter often will be the ticket for inside birds. I would say a well vented garage would work. I had 20 in my spare bed room for 4 weeks this winter. It got old.

I have no clue why ya cant feed'em bugs... New info to me... Bill

We found a breeder in the area with a cage we can buy and we will be getting 4 chicks and 12 adults TONIGHT! The adults are "several" months old so we may not have them for long but the guy says that they are still laying. Oh my goodness I need to set up a brooder! What else will I need to get?!

We got our quail! I am suspicious that the 3 roo's and 9 hen's that we got are actually 9 roo's and 3 hen's but I haven't had time to check what with dealing with the brooder chicks.

Problem: One of the hens got injured during transport and cut the bottom of her foot which she was favoring and bleeding a bit from. I isolated her in a cardboard box, afraid that the wire would irritate it further. Is there anything else I need to do?
