    Hey all!

    I am a few days behind you with the Arduino idea! I am going to try my first Arduino project for automation in my quail setup. First will be lighting, then food, water, notifications, and then incubation. Keep us updated on your project!

    Newb with a few questions so I can setup right

    I'm going to jump into Coturnix Quail, just need some advice so I can set up right the first time. I am basically new to raising birds altogether(raised day old chickens for meat with a 40% survival rate thanks to a weasel and a feed mistake) and have a couple questions I haven't seem to come...
