    Is Manna Pro Coop 'N Compost or Sweet PDZ "edible"?

    Thank you, all! I will definitely be getting this. Glad to know that they are all the same but some are cheaper. I'll get the cheaper. :)

    My new grow out pen

    This is so cute! I've been trying to think of how to set up an outside grow out pen that could possibly withstand the various predators here. Something like this might work. Thanks for posting!

    Is Manna Pro Coop 'N Compost or Sweet PDZ "edible"?

    I use deep litter for my quail cages and it's been great all winter. However, I'm worried that come the heat and humidity of the summer, it may not be quite as dry and easy to care for.

    How do you decide on which males to keep?

    I haven't had to do this in a while, but since I've restarted my flock, I now have 19 hens and 18 roos, all the same age. (How was that for a split? LOL) I only want to keep 4 of the males. They are currently 5 weeks old, starting to crow and become obnoxious, and separated from the (mellow)...

    Quail Pen--Would Fighting Occur?

    Hay for Quail

    Are you using fresh mowed grass clippings? I've never done this. I will have to!

    vermicompost litter

    I think the person who had that posted an update that theirs was not deep enough. I would think (having had quail AND worm bins for a long time, however, without mixing them, so I am ALSO intrigued by this...) that using something deeper, like the depth of a large bin, would be a better bet...

    Suet for quail?

    I make suet for my wild bird population regularly. I suddenly thought, could I make it for my quail? I just restarted quail after moving, but I've been raising them for years now. Never made suet where I used to live, which is why it just occurred to me. I thought, I could even put their crumble...
