my thieving otter eggs are in the incubator- need photos of setups please

[lindy]

Still havent decided on a setup. My eggs are in the bator, hoping for a 50% hatch rate with 60ish eggs. I have them in two different incubators just in case. these are small jumbo.

I am willing to do aviary style, if i can find photos on a predator proof one (raccoons mostly and rats) but my cats have been doing well with the rats, so i guess cats are another predator. They dont bother the feathered chicks but younger then its fair game (like quail). But i am not a good builder.
I live where it rains alot !
I have a 10x20 shed(predator proof) that i can put stack cages as well. buy or build if i can find info on that. And what pricing is good for a 2x3 cage. or would larger be better?

looking for low maintenance as a work overtime for 6 months of the year and have 40 goats, 2 horses, chickens, LGD ect. to take care of.

I am going to use payback turkey 28 % starter it has 1.8 lysine/.6 me. for chicks

payback has 22% turkey grower 1.4/.5 possibly for adults? or use my current feed that i use for my chickens.

I keep my quail on raised garden beds inside a large greenhouse. The pens are quite sturdy, though.

As for feed, quail have different nutritional requirements than chickens do. Here is an article that will give you an idea of what to look for in their feed.

I'm just using a large dog kennel, kept on my porch, with a tarp on the bottom to keep woodchips from spilling out. I might buy a two-story rabbit hutch at a later point if I want to keep two flocks but the dog kennel works fine for my handful of hens.
