I've got a quick quail question! So I just bought some coturnix at a bird sale 3 pharoh females one tuxedo female and one pharoh male, I got my first egg today it's all blue (hard to tell in pic) but is there any way of knowing what female the egg came from? Do different coloured quail lay different coloured eggs? Like would the tuxedo lay a different egg vs the pharoh females? Thanks a lot!

Looks like just the ticket. I guess caulk the upper edge

Actually, I ran the rubber up behind the siding so no need for caulk. I also used, in the pictures, some z flashing that may have been overkill.
I've never had moisture in the nests.
A few years after these pictures, the plywood nest roof rotted. I replaced it with another and covered by a sheet of green HDPE. It will never rot and sheds water well.

A friend of mine about 1/2 mile from me had 50 plus chickens a couple of days ago and now she has 12. She said she still has the 3 blasted roosters... She said there is no evidence other than one wing and she cannot tell where they are getting in. Now her fence is not that secure so who knows.

Does anyone know of any animal that would do that? I am guessing a skunk...
