    Sexing baby silkies

    Thanks! I heard you have to wait for it to crow or lay an egg to tell. Do you know what signs to look for? I feel I have 4 roosters by behavior and looks but they are too young to tell.

    Okay so kind of a long story! I have one 8 week old coturnix female. I had recently gotten 5 two week old coturnix quail babies and had them in a separate cage due to age difference.

    Nest boxes

    What would be good dimensions for a silkie chicken nest box? Due to their smaller size. Would 8x8x8 still be an okay size?

    Coturnix quail coop

    They are for eggs and then meat once they stop laying! We have our silkie chickens as our pets. So we could do a 4x4 cage for all 5?

    Coturnix quail coop

    Im talking about when they are full grown. I have the brooder all ready for them but havent build them a coop yet. Wire cage most likely so that i can bring it inside in bad weather and freezing temperatures.
