Kim,
There are more cages if you want them. We can always make cages for the quail out of hardware cloth. I have the "J" clips & pliers already & I might even have some hardware cloth (1/2 inch) I use it for the grow out pen tops..
A couple of those quail eggs exploded today...........soooooooooooooooo glad they are so tiny!!!!!! LOL
I am packing up the extra Little Giant & putting it up. I have the
Brinsea full & the Hovabator Genesis standing by & now the new Suro is going for a trial spin....LOL. I guess you all know by now that I am absolutely crazy.......LOL
The Ameraucanas I got from Cheryl yesterday were from Pips and Peeps blue eggs & the eggs I got from Jeremy are pretty blue from Claude & Sophie & Sophies's friend. I guess I should name her.......LOL Maybe she will be "Sophie's friend" by name.....LOL unless Jeremy already has a name for her.
I'm up for more cages. I'm thinking about doing some remodling. LOL
I showed Jason the peach bin coop. OMG Karen that was sooo cute! I need 10. LOL
I cleaned the cages the first night. Steel wooled the heck out of them yesterday and I'm going to paint them later today. Can't get Kayla out of the neighbor's pool to run to the dollar store for brushes. LOL
I did make a quail pen from HW cloth and an old nightstand I found a while back. Not the best job, but I wanted more space. I wish I had the money to buy up a bunch or it and make some stacking quail pens. That's my goal for whenever. I got another two breeding groups out of the chicks I hatched almost 6 weeks ago. I have 15 extra roos. I may save a few just in case. Then the ones we picked up from Jeff look to be more hens than roos, so I should have a total of 6 groups within the next month.
I need to start trying to collect stuff for a new bator. I want another cabinette with maybe 5 shelves. That should be good for hatching out the quail and I can sell more than the ones I hope to have the orders for already. If I could raise at least 4x as many and get them sold every month that would take a huge load off of my mond. Plus I know I wouldn't get my full amount, but I'll be taking extras to the auction.
I have to go out and fix a run too. Ziggy and the girls pushed through the wire that wasn't framed. So Ziggy and Pierre met face to face. No injuries, but I was out scooping up SPPRs because the girls were trying to get right up with Pierre. No mixes I don't want allowed! Luckily I had some frams started and block the exit. I can't believe I didn't fram that section. I think I'm just going to use washers and screws to close it up. Those are less likely to ever come loose.
Been trying to get pics of Rockette. I get close and she heads under s bush. She usually comes right up to me. I put my phone in the house and went to collect quail eggs and here comes Rockette. Sits right on my foot! She likes to eat whatever gamebird feed falls out of the quail pens.
OK gotta go look for the washers and screws.
