Thanks guys, I never knew what a quail looked like even though I have been seeing them everywhere!!
I'm pretty sure it's a quail too, I looked at some pictures online, thanks guys!
okay I'll get a video and post it on YouTube tomorrow as the sun has gone down here, and they stopped shaking, the one that was shaking was an EE and it was in the shady part of the box. They just spread out their wings and lay on the bellies and shake, it looks like they are vibrating.
Thanks...
No I just take them out in a big box and they run around, there whole body shakes. i don't think dust bathing, they are in the box, they shake real fast like in a tight movement sorta way.
So I live in the middle of a desert type area with few trees, and have never in my life seen a racoon here.
Do you think chicken wire would be enough for the run. I also have two hens who free range all day and put them selves to sleep at night, and no racoons have come.

Is this normal, some of them shake when they are in the sun, they only shake when they are laying down, however when they see me they start running all normal. Should I take them out of the sun? It's about 82 out right now. Humidity is 35%. And they have water and food.
Thanks
I have some week old chicks and whenever I go check on them they run around the cage frantically and try to fly and hit the walls of the cage.
Is this normal? They weren't like this yesterday.
Thanks for all of your help guys. I think I'm going to return the chicken wire I got, it's 1'' kind.
Hopefully I'll start working on it a little more today.
Rebel and surrounded by farms, not sure how that happened. There is a farm around the corner from my house, I can see it from my window, literally.
Even though we live in the same city, you must have a 20,000 sqft lot.
Brentwood is full of corn and farms yet some of us can't have chickens...
I have seven little chickies, I am currently working on a coop and run design.
The whole layout is 8ft by 8ft. The coop I'm planning on making will be 8x5(maybe 8x6), will this be big enough.
If any turn out to be roos they will be given away. The coop will above ground, so the run will...
