only thing holding me back i guess is money lol, but im building a new brooder (mine sorta.... broke last year lol) gonna copy what you did for a brooder (small wire cages) when they're cute ill keep em in the cats room (yes my cat has its own room) on a stool or sumthin so she cant get to em then when they get ugly move em to another cage in basement or garage. then im going to build some 24 x 30 x 8 wire cages and build a structure so i can make them stackable right now im just confused as to what i can use to catch their droppings so it doesnt land on the head of the birds below them lol

Cookie sheets or rubbermaid under bed containers would work well for the poo collecting.,

yea i really want some galvanized trays tho that would be the easiest cookie sheets id have to throw out rubbermaid id prolly have to scrape the stuff off, with my current cage with the galvanized trays i just hit with the ground really hard and it all comes off

yes some eggs are pretty much banty egg sized if you buy jumbo coturnix eggs from a breeder who really selectively breeds for the true jumbo size
