Quail Life!

[DAttard]

New to Quail (We've chickens) and have to say thoroughly loving how unique each bird is
Ive hatched 28 and purchased 20 day olds as I didnt get the hatch rate I'd expected.
Shocking how MUCH they eat and drink, they've moved outside now and are really happy!
A hardware cloth wrapped coop, with straw bedding - and center Sandbox is working well for us. But I've also a motion activated sprinkler, stolen from my garden. Lol...for inevitable predators.
I've another week-ish before I can sex some of these varieties so looking fwd to final hen count so I can thin the Roos.
Thanks

Welcome to BYC. Do not rely on water to deter predators...it will not keep them away.
