I know this thread really isnt for this, but i cannot find standard sized coturnix quail hatching eggs anywhere and figured I would reach out on here; Does anyone sell or know of someone who sells standard size coturnix quail hatching eggs?
I know stromberg chickens does, but they charge you...
Well, my pond does have a sloped edge, and i even put ramps and little floating houses so in case the birds went in they could get out easily. But, the birds didnt even try. It was one of the most pathetic things i have ever seen, the birds would all be flying or running from one side of the...
Yes, it was adult birds. I had 16 and all but three had drowned in less than a month. The aviary is not little either, it is over 36 feet long and 15 ft wide, so it wasn't like they couldn't have gone away from the pond.
Does anybody have water features in their quail pens? My aviary has a big pond in the middle, probably about 1000 gallons, and all of my quail kept drowning in it. Was this just my problem or is it universal? Thanks in advance
Rats can't get in because of the tall sides and that the metal is buried. Yes snakes can get it, but I'm willing to risk that. All we really have around here is black rat snakes, and they just sorta mind there own. Have had the aviary for two years and had no privlems
I can make a side or 2 metal like you said 18angovem, our pavilion just got a limb in it so we have lots of that stuff. I would like to put finch in it, so I cant have any small gaps. We also live in the "country" so lots of rats, cyotes, opossems, even bears. Only rats and opossems come close...

metal siding, like the metal barn siding. You can find that used pretty cheap. But your gonna need that wire somewhere to keep light in. Also, my coop has 3 foot tall metal siding around the edge and then the rest of it is just 2inchx4inch, and that keeps in my jumbo cotournix.
