    Ants in coop

    I have quail. This AM is the first time one "flew the coop" as I looked the tractor was covered in tiny ants. I moved it, sprayed it off, spread corn meal around it and sprayed the outside with lemon juice. We'll see.

    The one that got his *** kicked twice. He never really recovered right or acted like the other male. Disregard spelling I will blame my phone.

    I do 14 hours, its a small CFL 13w I think and it is off all night. I just use it to increase daylight for a few hours. ETA: They have been laying for a few months.

    Its a roo. I have 2 roo and 6 hens. It turns out I think I have too many roo. The question is really what one should go? But I guess I'll just keep the one that is getting along with the others. I haven't incubated eggs yet but wanted to keep the option open.

    UPDATE: Today I decided to put the recovered bird back in the coop and I removed the other male. After just a few hours he was beat up again (by the females). I swapped them back. Should I just put the wounded guy on marinade and be done with it? Thanks

    After 2 good days his eyes started to open and his feathers were back. The rest of the week to build up his pride.

    UPDATE: Its been a few days and his eyes are wide open and he has most of his feathers back, He still looks and acts a bit ratty. He can pick up dried meal worms off the ground so I assume he can see ok. As far as the mean guy, I noticed that some of the ladies have a few missing feathers...
