➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

Best is 1st thing in the morning, so you can stare at the hygrometer & thermometer all day!!!



I'm doing things differently this time too, since I've gotten additional thermometers & hygrometers in there with the eggs. We'll see if the hatch is better than last time.



I'm several pages behind myself, not sure if catching up is even a realistic expectation at this point!!!
Btw....you should see how excited my quailies were in their new homes today!!!!

You might need another dirt box for the dummies so they can spread out some.

Girl!!! There are 2 dirt boxes and a sandbox in each pen!!! They need to snuggle I guess
This picture is from before I put the sandboxes in this morning.

I have two dirt boxes in my coop too. I keep barely missing the picture with five birds all trying to bathe in the smallest one at the same time.

I have the same waterers except in blue. The work really well.

Thanks.
I think I am going to go ahead and order some of these for my rabbit cages.
It will save a few inches of floor space.

I like them, just have to make sure to use a thicker/sturdier plastic bottle, if it's too thin it'll just collapse and drain all the water out of the bottle. I have 3 kinds of waterers, all good, but I figured some would be better to keep drowning to a minimum.

I have two dirt boxes in my coop too. I keep barely missing the picture with five birds all trying to bathe in the smallest one at the same time.

By the end of the day they had spread out a bit, meandering about, but at bedtime all 9 want to be in the same box.

I don't want to deal with leaks.

Which one of the above do you like the best?
