See, and here I wish I wasn't shivering!! All the dogs are on my feet and they are still cold. Forecast, 6-10 inches before Wensday night. Do you all think fully feathered (cotrunix) quail, in a pen mostly covered with wood, except maybe the face of the pen where the doors are, and with dropping pans on boards beneath the wire would be protection enough in this kind of climate? I guess I could make a "nestbox next to the open pen on each compartment with a light in it so they can go in and stay warm. This is all hypothetical, I am doing some serious thinking on it an' I don't mean the toilet lol. But a couple of my meat rabbits live outside in a large open pen with only a roof over it, there is a nestbox that they can hop into that's full of straw but they choose to stay out all the time, unless it's really cold (10 degrees to -15..so far) Animals aclimatize, right?
