Emmy 528 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 Sad day today -when I went out this morning to check the birds/quail etc. I found one of my OAP quails had died. Don't know if it was just old age or if the drop in temperature had anything to do with it - they were in good sturdy hutch with plenty of areas to shelter from wind etc. I now have moved all the Texan White quails into my bird sheds they are in 3 large rabbit cages (cant put them altogether into one cage or it would be WW3 lol) at least now no matter how cold it gets they will be OK as both sheds are heated. I knew I should have bought a larger shed ! So that's me down to 11 Texan White quails now . Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmy 528 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 Thank You amf, I would like to get the remaining 3 younger ones into the sheds too but it will depend on if I can get two pairs of the older ones to agree with each other and share a cage I'll need to do a bit more organising - meantime I think they are OK in their hutch but weather has taken a turn for the worse here today -snow and VERY cold Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clare L 175 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 Hi Emmy, Sad to hear, I lost one of my silver hens to the bad weather a few days ago, really annoying. Project bigger shed a go for next year then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
