Thanks for your comment. It would have been great had you posted anything positive about my setup. Pointed out how hard I have worked to construct this out of wood, wire and screws before diving into the constructive criticism.In the video, it looks like none of them have access to bathing material. Quail use loose substrate like dirt, dust, or ash to remove excess oil from their feathers and skin—it is as necessary a process as eating or sleeping. Please give them somewhere to get off the wire and clean themselves.
To my knowledge, Coturnix quail are not water bathers. If they are trying, that seems pretty desperate. Bathing substrate should always be provided. It is not a treat.The quail have 2 ways of bathing. the new watering cups are large enough that against my wishes they do bathe in these.
Well that could be but the birds didn't read that post I guess cause they sure do seem to enjoy it.To my knowledge, Coturnix quail are not water bathers. If they are trying, that seems pretty desperate. Bathing substrate should always be provided. It is not a treat.
If someone stuck you in a cell without a shower, you'd be taking spit baths pretty gratefully, too.Well that could be but the birds didn't read that post I guess cause they sure do seem to enjoy it.
Im not sure what benefit your comments are making to this thread. I understand how some feel superior and have to boast to the masses that they have more knowledge than others. I have only been with this group a few days and you have not give me a reason to stay.If someone stuck you in a cell without a shower, you'd be taking spit baths pretty gratefully, too.

It does not pay to be new and resistant to advice.I am new to raising Quail on a Homestead and still learning.
I have nothing against raising birds to kill and eat, but the "how" matters. Tell me again that what's in that video constitutes "a great life."By all rights I want to give these birds a great life of 8 weeks with one bad experience when they are culled.
