    Pigeons and watering cups

    Has anyone successfully used automatic watering cups with pigeons? My quail have no issues learning to use them but I know pigeons drink differently than other poultry. Would the auto watering cup I have work for pigeons? I'm considering getting a breeding pair. Thanks.

    Using herbs to euthanize quail?

    A little off topic and not about using herbs but have you looked into CO2 for small animals? I've never tried it but it makes sense and looks easy. http://www.alysion.org/euthanasia/index.php

    Bedding for brooder

    I dont spray my yard with chemicals... least not the back yard. so every other time I mow I just collect the grass clippings and dry them on a tarp in the driveway and use that. works good. gotta change them out every 2-3 days as the monsters are messy and stinky.
