Um hello I’m sorry to bother um not about quails
Um about their brooder actually it’s really tiny.I can’t build a coop in my apartment!I though have a mini inflatable pool.will that work?

It's not a bother.

It's simply that folk on this thread don't know much about quail.

Out of interest, Afi, what do you do with them once they start getting bigger? Do you breed them to sell?
I haven’t raised any chicks before but I’m not certain an inflatable pool would work. If they have a heat lamp (being so small still) it might not be a great idea on thin plastic.

No I’m just easing them as pets and yes Quails thrive indoors as long as there is proper ventilation

I would be worried about the chemicals in that sort of plastic being toxic for tiny birds

 

[AfiafiAfi]

Ok then i won’t remove them

I'm always concerned about what is used in various plastics

I'm enjoying your blue flowers in the grass too! What are those? They have beautiful large petals!

They are actually the fallen petals of the Wisteria growing over the pergola nearby.

I'm glad you like them.

Why don't you name her Spitfire? I like that. You've called her that at least twice in postings I think! Just a suggestion...

I'm actually considering calling her Spitfire as it would be very fitting.

Geelong Australia. Started east of Melbourne. 5.3 apparently. Very unusual for here, quite an experience

I can't even imagine what that was like. All good?

Exactly, can’t do anything, now they are saying it was a 6.
For us here being a bit away from the epicentre it felt like being on the deck of a ship, the whole has was swaying for about a minute.
Another pandemic lockdown, violent protests in the city and now an earthquake. What else will we get this week?

What were the violent protests about? That's no good.
