Quail Cage Cleaning Frequency - HELP!

[ARB1007]

I’m in NC, I thought I added that in my OP.
I figured I would be cleaning the manure tray daily but I’m lining that as well so I can just toss, sanitize and reload. I am OCD about cleaning which led me to pose the questions that I had.

Yeap, 4 per layer, not section. I’m new to quail and nothing in the quail world would be “common sense” for me, the NEWBIE! Which is why I came to this forum of knowledge to ask QUESTIONS!

IDK why they advertised it the capacity that way. I took a brief look at it, saw it was pretty easy to clean and power wash (since I am a cleaning nazi) so it went on my Xmas list and bam, it was under the tree! I didn’t give it much thought since my husband mentioned wanted to build some cages at that time. However, he found that it wouldn’t be feesable for us due to our HOA and max number of outbuildings we are allowed to have. So I got it as a Christmas gift along with my little flock and incubators.

Which led me here today with my questions.

Any information will be helpful and appreciated. As long as I don’t screw up their laying with the constant cleaning, then I’m golden. I will cross the cage capacity bridge soon!

I'm glad you came here to ask. The numbers of birds that ad states can go into those cages is inhumane. Here in California, there are laws against stuffing that many birds into such a small space because it's cruel to them.

I just visited their website and I see they have a 30-day return policy.
Could you possibly return it?
That website is full of outrageous capacity numbers.

so sorry for any misunderstanding.....we are all still in shock by many of the capacity claims of the seller (nothing personal against you) I had seen these cages as a newbie but they were not available at that time in the US. with what you have stated, this cage may work very well for you! just be careful not to overload that capacity (7-8 birds total) as quail can be very addictive!!

I kind of agree with @Kiki . You may have no intention of overloading the capacity of that cage, but I would want to return it just so I wasn't supporting a company that promoted animal cruelty like that.

@ARB1007 Where did you first come across this cage?
How did you find it to add it to your Christmas list?
