Quail Class

Put a b9it to much water in their dirt to cool 'em down.. They don't know what to do know lol. It is usually a tiny bit damp.

When it rains heavily mine will flop around in any muddy puddles that form, they often lay eggs in the mud water

Haha!
Do they get all muddy?

Yup, the eggs and birds. Usually I have a watering can near the birds and it collects water in the rain, and I’ll sprinkle the eggs gently with rain water to clean them, and still like 75% hatch. But they get super gross! Too gross for the bator, unless I rinse them a bit.

@FloorCandy do you give them baths?

Sparkly Pearl fee! I don't believe you can get them anywhere else in the US except for southwest gamebirds. They are a rare breed.

I saw them on the site. It looks like just regular pearl fees they took the time to breed for nicer pattering. I think they offer fewer options, but they work out the issues before they make them available to the public. I look forward to one day ordering birds from them.

Never haha! I put a fresh tray of water out for them every day in the summer. I can’t do that now because it’s too cold out, but they still jump in, and hunker down to get it all in between the feathers, not just wade around.
