Is there a secret method I'm not aware of? I must know! lol That's pretty clever, I'd do that with my baby japanese quail, but plastic bins are just so cheap and handy :D

Cool thanks! :D I'll probablly do that instead, would be alot less hassle and I have no idea what i'd be doing anyway at this point.

Hehe...yeah definately! I'm proud of my creation already, so can't wait to share. :D My greenhouse should be here in just a day or two! I must say this whole project has inspired me to start being more self sufficient. Planning on having plants growing all throughout my house once this...

Thanks! The aviary will be indoors though so no need to worry about predators. The reason why I have the option of grass is because I'm buying a deep 7 by 4 1/2 rabbit dropping catch pan as the base and wrapping about a foot up from the floor in vinyl to protect from mess also Ill be putting...

Nice, glad to find someone with the same idea, do you have a picture of the inside setup? Would love to see what you have in there! Yours looks like alot better quality than mine but its ok because mine is for indoors, they're maybe similar size though? Mine is 4 by 6 1/2 and 6 1/2 tall. Here's...

Very cool, did not know you could just use the netting to keep them in, I suppose they're not as clever as I'd anticipated. lol :] That means I can get them alot sooner than I thought! How big is your greenhouse by the way?

No sorry I guess I'm just not explaining myself properly.. I bought I greenhouse frame to use as the bones for my aviary. I'm covering it in mesh and converting it into an aviary (saved alot of money this way). Still working out the details before I start building it though. I won't be giving...

Thanks so much for the thorough response! :D I just found this forum and I've been reading literally all day lol I need to get to work haha. It's an indoor aviary if that makes a difference, it's basically a converted greenhouse that I'm working on. I do like to keep the environment natural...

So I decided against keeping bantam chickens in my aviary for eggs because chickens need lots of room and not sure about zoning restrictions...I know coturnix quail are great layers and I've had buttons and the past and they were very simple to care for and so cute. :} My reasons for having them...

Yeah I was thinking that, perfect idea, but I can't find a local hatchery (near detroit michigan) with day old sex-links and I would never want to put newly hatched birds through the shipping process. *Brainstroming* atleast I have a month or two to figure it out..

Cool thatll work. I'll probablly just stick with two to keep down on waste. I forgot that if I only get two it'll work out either way, 2 hens, 2 roosters, or a rooster and a hen shouldn't be a problem either way...

Thanks for the info! Would 4' by 6' be enough for two of the bantam variety?

I was interested in getting a few bantam chickens for my aviary. I would like to buy hatching eggs so they can imprint on me. Is there a breed of chicken/quail that can produce a decent amount of eggs where i can have an even ratio of males to females? Any extremely docile breeds? I don't want...
