PVC cage houses 12 quail hens very happily, thats a 1 gal waterer in there that quails standing slighty higher than it but they stand about that tall, you see the ones behind the feeders theyre only a lil smaller than the feeder

These are the 40 gal tanks all 60 quail started in One of them! At a wk old i had to put it outside and split em off, each one still houses 6 and theyre happy but i dont wanna clean this much shavings every wk thats why i have the most of em on wire. On top of them in the tub are two "amberlink" chicks i took from TS when i told them they had pasty butt they asked me if i wanted em :oops: i want to seperate 4 from one cage into the PVC bringing its numb to 16 and then 2 into the stage coop to make that one at 16. Theyre each 6 and 7 ft long so while theyre this young and mostly sex segregated theyre fairing ok it wont be long term overcrowded. This way i can clear out one of the tank for the chicks for the next 10 days this is how it is anyway :oops:

The stage platform cage i had posted earlier the new pic wont load but like i said before currently 14 live in there. The nest box on the far left is a great dust bath. It was orig built to house a pair of young pullets by its previous owner before chicken math hit while they still didnt understand keeping chickens.

Also excuse the turned over waterers, I wanted to hurry up n snap pics then charge my phone before doing the afternoon feed and waterers. 14 waterers, in the summer, ill need to do them each twice a day.
 
I feel guilty saying this & I'm gonna have to make up for it tomorrow in a big way, but I've done nothing all day. Literally not one thing. :oops: The butterflies have been captivating. I've never seen anything like this. We've had some weird infestations over the years, but this has been the best (& the least creepy.)

So while moving back & forth from my window to the driveway all day, my brains had a lot of extra time to spare & I realize I want to build a catio (a cat patio) for my indoor cats. Anybody have one? :pop
You did something, Room - you appreciated the beauty around you! And you came up with an idea! That's more than I accomplished today.

Quite a difference in pictures between Al's place and Turk's place! Thank you both for sharing - it's fun to get a glimpse of someone else's life.

:love gorgeous birds.

One of my prior customers has some hona’s. She said she’d sell me some eggs, pretty cheap. I might just have to hatch some.
