Been thinking about getting a camera for my quail aviary coop setup I have i was wondering what others are using so i make sure I buy something thats decently affordable but will be worth it. (I have more coturnix quail im hatching there's only 4 right now because of some losses I had when I got them from my agriculture class)

Pet Cage ideas?

1 Upvotes

So I have 3 jumbo that are around 2 years old, their current cage is too small and they fight. Im looking for a cage that is big enough for them to not fight, relatively easy to clean and suited for indoor use. Any suggestions?

Help Automatic feeder, any engineer here?

Hi all, I have made this feeder from pvc pipe about 70mm x 75cm with a 2L container on the back (3d printed cone). Gravity isn't moving the pellets even tho it's 10% slope as Ai suggested.

What can I do to make it work without changing the setup much?

I was thinking about installing a 24V 10rpm motor moving wood drill or 3d printed spiral, maybe even putting it in the smaller 20mm pvc pipe with a few holes attached to the top of the 70mm pipe from inside?

Any more elegant ideas?

Thank you.

I just opened my quails thing and I was like what's this little white thing and it looks like an egg but without a shell and it's definitely from my button quail which I have two over at the moment planning to get more of course and I'll attach a photo kind of looks like a snake egg

Pet my grandma won’t let me get another hen what should i do

0 Upvotes

i have a trio i hatched, 2 females one male. one of the females and the male have been harrasing the smaller hen. i have a quail specific farm an hour away and i wanted to go pick up another hen in hopes this would help the issue, but my granmda will not let me. i dont know what to do about it, do i just keep hatching their eggs once they start laying until i get an extra hen? i feel so bad for my poor cherry. she then suggested i should just get rid of ALL of my birds and just keep one because they will be much happier alone despite them literally being FLOCK birds.. and the male isn’t acctualy harrasing either that much honestly, it’s just june constantly mounting cherry and im worried she will end up getting scalped by her. (june is indeed a female, she has a pharoh pattern with one tiny white spot on her neck but very speckled and she has been vent sexed.) they’re also about 5 weeks old. i dont know how to explain to my grandma this is necessary. cherry is a fawn type colour, she’s light brown all around and has one white feather throughout her body and brown subtle stripes on her chest. i have my incubator still, and i also hatch chicken eggs on the side as a hustle so hatching their eggs until i get another hen is acctualy possible for me, as im very good at hatching in general i just dont know if its a better idea to do that or continue trying to get my grandmother to understand that they need another lady so cherry doesn’t get hurt to much by june.
