I would probably have my rabbits where they couldn't be directly above the quail but conveniently have the worms under all of them. It has been a few years since I had either but I miss them.The Merry Yeomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15499605826503658567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578545702193642576.post-78298716972083552042019-02-27T19:07:22.402-08:002019-02-27T19:07:22.402-08:00I get that the rabbit and quail droppings all fall...I get that the rabbit and quail droppings all fall through to the worm bins underneath, but is it not a concern that the rabbits will urinate on the quails? Asking because I have three meat rabbits in hanging cages that I want to put worn bins under and want to add quail too, but I’m trying to figure out where to put them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03581956994331614991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578545702193642576.post-13633366605690689002014-07-31T00:43:41.778-07:002014-07-31T00:43:41.778-07:00Yes...

I believe that is what the Lord has in store for "The Merry Yeoman". I just want to thank you: I am teased because I look into so many coturnix studies and I have never thought of this manure management before! I am also in town so composting in the tray is awesome!

The quail don't really dig down much except when I put a new layer of hay or shavings in. I've figured out genders now, mostly by the adorable little crows. I love the noises they make. I had one who really stumped me for a while, but she was just a late layer. She didn't start laying until a few weeks after the others. I can't believe what prolific layers they are. I figured it would take forever to get enough eggs for an actual meal, but we can eat quail eggs at least once a week. The person I got them from made it sound like they were different breeds, but I've done some research since then and figured out they are just different color varieties.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771907353702591182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578545702193642576.post-13347547614502057382014-07-30T15:48:53.618-07:002014-07-30T15:48:53.618-07:00Hello.

Very cool Idea!<br /> The common browns are able to be feather sexed. The Texas A&M's must be vent sexed (or if you see them crow or know it has laid an egg). Show close up pics of the browns and I could tell you which is which. FYI: they are both Coturnix. Common Brown and T A&M are (as you said) color varieties.The Merry Yeomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15499605826503658567noreply@blogger.com
