FYI Handy, the quail poop is extremely great fertilizer. My aunt and uncle raise them and gave their poop to a local grower who later had the best growing season in years. They now pay too dollar for it every year. Something to consider if you are growing a garden or know someone who does.
Way ahead of ya bro. I've got a giant tupperware full of the stuff, but I can't till it under until it stops raining long enough for the dirt to dry out a little. The tiller just makes mud at the moment.
Have the quails improved any? I had to buy from tractor supply, as my regular online shipment was delayed, in late January. My hen quit laying after 3 days of Purina Layena 10 lb pellets. She also lost a few feathers, and it’s not molting time. 3 weeks after back on regular feed (only), she’s now laid 2 eggs (although smaller), a few days apart. All of this is out of the ordinary, for her (chicken). This is the 2nd like story, I’ve seen this week...ugh. Never again w/ Purina. Her regular feed is from Scratch & Peck, btw. I hope your hens are doing better. I guess its time to start a mealworm farm, after all.
Not yet. They still don't lay, but there doesn't seem to be any other problems. They are just one feeding away from being out of the DuMor brand. I'll switch them back to the feed the hardware store sells and let you know the brand.
