Hi, i am new to quail i decided i would try button quail first since there smaller than others and would be good starters. I have located a trio (one rooster and two hens) that i will be picking up next week and i need a list of things i need.
List of things i have.
24x24 rabbit cage (raised 9inches off ground) Will use this for the quail at one point.
three 24 inch long 1/2 inch diameter perches incase they want to roost (never had quail so if these are not needed let me know)
A pop bottle waterer i have seen on many quail cages.
Two feeding dishes (ceramic dish washer safe i will switch them out every day)
A bag of low dust aspen wood shavings
A half log hide ment for reptiles but i think it will fit two or three quail inside (going to be used as a nest box)
And a 40long 24 high 16 deep aviary type cage (Indoors will be used during there first few weeks here and for any chicks i may hatch)
I have no idea what type of feed i should buy please let me know i am compleatly new to quail.
