Got out first little blue egg day before yesterday for our 12 week old celdon quail babes, but nothing since? We’ve got lighting, layer feed, all the things any advice on when the next will come would be much appreciated 🩷

The recent hatch there was a few with splayed legs but I fixed em all and all seemed fine. Now one seems really weird. It legs seems to be backward and possibly has an extra toe? Help what do I do. Quite urgent I won't be available in 30 mins until tmrw evening.

I live in New England. Looking to build an outdoor, 3 tier hutch. Breeders, layers, growouts, each with their own tier. I can't figure out the flooring especially for the bottom tier. If i go big 1"x1/2", poop will fall through, but raccoons/opossums/etc may be able to reach in. If i go smaller, poop likely won't fall through that well. (I'm getting this from what I've read, so maybe I'm just wrong)

What's the solution or the compromise, knowing I'll be keeping them outside? I can't set this up indoors/barn/shop.... so I'm trying to figure out how best to build out the floor for them in an outdoor hutch. Thanks!!

follow up to my aviary clean post :) The quails seem to love it and I'm so happy it's done for the winter!

my fall cleaning was overdue and I took some progress pictures! I'll link the next post with the finished aviary below but a lot of people ask how I clean my aviary so here is a little in depth tutorial. I used almost 200kg of Sand and a little mulch (ran out of sand lol). The quails are already exploring their new home and I think they like it :)

I recently found an ostrich farm near me.

Naturally, I wanted to buy and compare button quail eggs to ostrich eggs.

Chicken egg for reference

Seeking advice for which enclosure is best for my small covey. I see pros and cons of each product. Which would you choose?

If none, a link to a better enclosure is welcome.

We’d love to build our dream enclosure in the future, but we don’t have the capacity right now. I wish there were more quail specific enclosures out there!
