    thanks all, I would just like to be able to wash it out with a hose once or twice a year. I figured that I could coat the floor and about 1 foot up the wall.

    Incubation problems, any thoughts?

    thanks for the replies, no the eggs weren't shipped. I got the eggs from a friend. One thing that i should note is that when he brought them to me, they were in the carton with the pointed end up. Not sure if that would cause my problem or not. As far as humidity goes, I kept it at 50% for...

    Incubation problems, any thoughts?

    I've just incubated a total of 62 chicken eggs. Of the total, 11 of them did not begin to develop, 22 of them were later found dead in the shell without piping, and 29 hatched. Not sure what could have caused so many of them to fully develop and not hatch. Any thoughts would be greatly...

    Incubation with antibiotics

    For the past 3 days every morning when we go to check the quail we have a bird dead, well for the past two days we have had 3 to 4 dead. At first we thought it might be the weather or the water then we had some dying that wasn’t even near the others and we realized it might be something more...

    Word to the wise!

    they were coturnix, some a&ms, which aren't exactly the most camouflage! I'll try putting one alone and see what happens ONTHESPOT: sounds like had a much greater loss than me, I only lost a few quail! The most expensive cage in the world still won't work if you forget to close the door...
