BYC Debate Thread- What's The Friendliest Chicken Breed?
Well…this may be a little difficult but can be the pathway for me to ummm expand on my chicken math! 😆 Out of the 6 breeds I own (Kikirikis, OEGB, Ameraucana Bantams, Barbu De Watermael, Bearded Silkies and WFBS), the three that are the friendliest by far have got the be the Barbu De...- ARB1007

Quail Cage Cleaning Frequency - HELP!
I sure can when I get home from work today! That would be super helpful! The other cage isn’t up yet so I don’t have any pix of that. But I will when my husband puts it together. -

Sorry for the late reply, it’s been pretty busy around here! 🙂 It’s ok if you didn’t thoroughly read it all! I do have a fenced in backyard but we are only allowed a specific number of “outbuildings” which if we were to build a cage would be considered and “outbuilding” which is why my husband... -

I’m definitely ready to see what it looks like also! As soon as they get big enough not to fit through the holes, we will definitely try it. I’m sure it’s going to take some acclimating as well since I don’t know what sexes I have. Currently, I have them separated by color and personality and... -

Thank you for your apology. I appreciate it. I completely understand your frustration though. I hope your advocacy against these cages are successful! 👌🏼 -

Thank you! We looked at those previously also. Unfortunately, we can’t have those either...it’s considered “an outbuilding” in our hood. It kind of sucks living so close a large city. Not sure the hamster comment was necessary but ok. I get it, you’re not too fond of the cage and your dismay is... -

I’m starting to understand the addiction of these birds! No worries on the misunderstanding, I’m not taking it personal at all. I love quail eggs/meat but it’s hard to find or expensive where we live. I thought about a small flock just for our family and we can have it as often as we’d like... -

I’m in NC, I thought I added that in my OP. 🤷🏻♀️ I figured I would be cleaning the manure tray daily but I’m lining that as well so I can just toss, sanitize and reload. I am OCD about cleaning which led me to pose the questions that I had. Yeap, 4 per layer, not section. 🙂 I’m new to quail... -
Quail Cage Cleaning Frequency - HELP!
Well I would hope that doesn’t happen! It most certainly was a concern hence the contingency plan! I mentioned in my initial post that I wasn’t certain how many we would be keeping since I have not used this cage, still researching and learning more about them everyday. I’ll be keeping a close... -

I don’t know, I haven’t tried yet since they are only 4 weeks old and still in the grow out pens. I’ve seen some people put 6 in each section on FB but not really sure how that went for them. It didn’t look crowded but then again, pictures sometimes don’t give you a true view. I guess I will... -

Oh, I’m not sure yet, maybe 4 max? The cage says 10 but there is NO WAY IN HELL I would ever put that many... elbow room is important! 🙂 -

Hello all! Newbie here with some cage cleaning questions. Preface: My Coturnix quails are currently 4 weeks old. I bought the hatching time comfortplast 2 layer cage system and I have not moved my quails into it just yet. I’ve been cleaning their grow-out cages every other day (17Wx11Lx10H with... -
