Dirt!After a lot of research I've decided to use sand as the main coop surface for my quail
This Is due it's ability to absorb the wet droppings rather than straw or wood shavings which tend to lump
Can I ask members what is there preferance
It sounds like you are going to have some beautifully spoiled quail. Please post pics when it's ready!Since my coop is fully enclosed inside a shed the chance of getting wet is very low
As it's about 100sq ft for 8 quail I believe this will last a while before I need to replace the sand
This was the last straw for me, happened to two of my girls, thankfully got them off before any damages.I had trouble with dry poop balls developing on their feet usin sand. They step in wet poop then dry sand and the sand becomes embedded. Then they do it again, another layer forms and it grows and grows.
