The roof on that looks like it'd catch wind gusts, you might anchor it heavily to prevent teetering. But the double decker design looks good!
if you end up having that many birds, those size feeders/waterers should be fine. I’m planning to “bite the bullet” and order a “covered range feeder” soon that holds more feed. I had an “automatic deer feeder” That threw treats but I just pulled it out as I felt like the “noise” could be triggering some of the “aggression” issues. with waterers you just have to watch for algae growth, “malfunctions” and freeze prevention.
I think you will be happier incubating eggs! I would recommend ordering 30 from myshire. You could choose an assortment for pretty colors or if you want to know how many males/females from day 1, zack offers sex-link! The females are roux dilute (“egyptian”) and males are pharaohThanks! That makes sense! What about about the rabbit hutches? Is it fairly easy to build something like that? We have tons of HC already but I’ve never built anything before. My dad did most of the building of the chicken coop and all the wood cutting and everything. I just sometimes (barely) helped nail some stuff haha
Do you think it’s worth it to buy some adult quail locally, either those or others, or should I just wait and get some eggs? I bought an incubator in March but haven’t hatched anything yet. Was gonna use it in the Easter HAL but never got around to it.
Try yard sales or fb marketplace. I picked up one of the coolers last year for $5 at a yard sale. Inkbird thermostat, 2 lightbulbs and fixtures, an outlet plug, a computer fan and some wiring. Maybe less than $50 in parts all together, probably closer to $40. Thermostat was around $15 on eBay/Amazon.
Mine is 8x8. These are my egg layers, I have 12 in there. My grow outs are in cages inside a coop.All very beautiful birds!I want to steal #2. This thread has made DD1 want to build a quail avery instead of having quail cages.
Question; Does anybody have their quail in an avery setting & if so, how big is it?
it was actually my first pipper! the 1 I thought was zipping earlier just had a big area of missing shell over pip.....shouldn’t be far behind though!
