Welp my ISA browns once again didn't get the memo that aint supposed to be a broody breed. Got one sitting in her nest box purring up a storm when I got the eggs from under her. Gonna wait it out till tomorrow and if she still sitting on the golf balls I'm putting her in the hatching crate with...
My chickens have a very well secure covered run. My plan was to build my quail cage in it elevated about 4 feet off the floor of the run. The 2 won't ever intermingle but they will kinda be sharing the same space. This still cause issues?
