booneworms are just shorter,fatter mealworms i will try to get a picture of the bag......when I had chickens, they also loved greek yogurt treats......when i was having trouble with my turkey poults eating last fall, we mixed “cereal” for them 2x day with feed, greek yogurt, and scratch.

Thanks I’ll have to check those out. I’ve heard of super worms but not those ha that yogurt thing sounds like a nice treat.

What they try to keep really quiet is that while seat belts can save lives, the rate of paraplegic and quadriplegic results is much greater among seat belt wearers than among non seat belt wearers. Personally, I would much rather die than end up as either a paraplegic or quadriplegic.

I’m not sure I would. Idk. Yeah, it’d be terrible at first but they have so many advancements now and artificial limbs and such and at least I’d be alive. But it’d probably be really hard at first so idk.

Last February one of my former students got into an accident. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt, his passenger was. He's dead, the passenger had minor injuries.

I rode a motorcycle for a long time. I always wore full protective gear. The one day I thought about not wearing all of it because it was hot, I did it anyways and that was the day an idiot pulled out in front of me and totaled my bike. I walked away.

My first car was a '63 Dodge Dart with push button transmission. It also only had lap seat belts.

Oh wow that’s so sad and also terrifying! Glad you were okay.

When I was going to work one day I had some type of feeling that I should watch this motorcyclist that was in front of us. He looked like a new rider so I continued to watch him at the red light when we got the green light he started going and a car ran through the red light and hit him my friend threw the car in park and we immediately went to help him. Luckily he was only very shook up, but nothing else. He flew about 8 ft in the air.

Oh wow glad you were there to help!!! So scary!

Ok question, so I have a 4x3 hutch to keep the quail in once large but the bottom is a lift out and I don't want to risk them falling through so I plan to keep them in a 40 gal until bigger, therefore I'll need to poop clean. How often do you guys clean your solid bottom cages or brooders?

Depends on how many birds and the size of the brooder.

Ah, let's be honest. They start to stink fast, so you're going to be cleaning it every day, every other at the very least.

It also depends on whether or not you are Kiki!!

Other option is to lay smaller wire on it and put them in there. I have dirt boxes they walk in and after 3 weeks, start pulling most of the boxes out to minimize cleaning. 1/2" hardware cloth is optimum at 3-4 weeks.

I only have 3 and they haven't made too much of a mess so far. I'm using pine shavings for them and they're actually not as bad as chicken chicks. Chicken chicks go outside in the shed brooder, but these 3 quail I've been able to tolerate them. I clean everything every other day and fluff up their bedding.

Okay. Any want to help with color and sexing?

These two first.
My guess is Egyptian and Pearl. Both male. Though the whitish one keeps getting more tan/gold.
