Thank you. I try my best. A lot of mistakes have been made along the way but I try.

Really hope it helps.The main thing is keeping it dry. That’s why I use buckets plus is contains the substrate making it last longer and turns into a great egg collection area. They love laying eggs in them. I actually have been wanting to try your exact idea under my larger brooder and like you said just scoop it out like cat litter. I’ve thought about adding fine pine shavings/saw dust to the mix as well. Only concern I’ve had is how wet and how much poo a full brooder of quail can produce. That’s on my to do lists of experiments. Just remember the diatom fit much is really dust and can be bad for your birds. I don’t use it autumn through winter. I have 3 year old birds with no bad health effects but again a little goes a long ways so use it sparing. I only add full scoops when remixing a new batch. I’m happy the video is helpful. I’m currently doing a series called (chick food waste experiment). I’m about to do my final video using all that I’ve learned and tried. Cut chick food waste 60 percent if not more down to a minimal. Game changer on saving food cost for chicks. Worth it if you hatch a lot. I’m always trying creative ideas to change the many bad habits/common beliefs people have raising quail. Trying to find better ways.

I actual just had one of my adults prolapse I removed her a few days. She had a few eggs with no issues and she a fine now. I did notice a double yolk xl egg which can cause this because the eggs just to big. If she is laying over sized eggs this can continue. Is she is laying normal sized eggs and keep prolapsing. This is a serious concern. Other birds could peck at it and causing injury. Prolapse if not addressed could get an infection. If this continues it will result in the bird passing. I would cull only if it is a continuous issue only because I don’t want the animal to suffer from infection or injury both can result in the bird passing inhumanly. If the egg ruptures inside it can cause infection. I rarely have these issues. I encounter prolapse while handling or moving them due to stress. That’s exactly what happen in the video. She tensed up and prolapsed while handling. No one wants to cull our birds but I never want them to suffer. I’m sorry this is a continuous issues. How old is your female? Did she just start laying for the first time or did she just start laying this season?

I don’t really specialize in doing that. Maybe look up some type of commercial grinder and try to replicate it. Then maybe a machine similar to this one could sift everything out for you into different stages.

@@practicaljunk836 closest i can think of is the things they use for the early part of wool processing (sort of paddles with nails through them). i dont know that there really is a commercial grinder, most people LIKE buds.

Wish I could help you. I’m not familiar with that industry. Takes a lot of research trial and error to develop a good system that works. I failed a few times trying different ideas before I completed this project.

@@practicaljunk836 ruclips.net/video/IYPghEkEags/видео.html theres also a way to make one using a shop vac or other vacuum to pull the air instead of pushing. you are working almost parallel to this machine. i think if you used some of that sticky foam tape around the bottom of the sifters as a gasket it would fit tighter and increase efficiency in your design AND keep the dust down. until legalization got more common there was VERY little use for such a machine which is why theres not many good consumer design options. considering the explosive growth of the cannabis industry theres actually a market for such a thing. i appreciate a creative mind, and you sir have delivered. best of luck.

I made an insert for the bucket with a funnel in the center of the insert that fits inside the top lip of the lid. Keeps dust contained. Basically a wood circle cut out to fit perfect. Then wrapped it with tape to secure it into place snug. Works well

I’m not sure why but I’ve responded 3 times to your comment. It’s not staying. Yes extensive damage to tissue by other birds can lead to infection or improper healing causing future egg laying issues. You can try but it is humane to cull at this point. I’m sorry for a seemingly late response I do hope your girl made it.

Insulate away! Please do. Yes we still use heat lamps.

Alot of thought went into this. I published it here so there is proof of the idea. I almost didn’t when I realized how effective it is. The point of me doing this is to help people. So it would defeat the purpose of doing the work to help others if I didn’t put it on here. I’ve been thinking of creating an actual feeder for chicks that will work properly. Also making a line of inserts for common feeders. Looking into getting a 3D PRINTER but it will be a learning curve. Future projects and ideas

Thank you. I’m gonna see if I can make one from containers we throw away. Was trying to match containers to lids and see what would configure good together.

Trying new stuff doesn’t always work but seeing why things don’t work. Can give you even better ideas. Failure is not failure if it shows you something greater.

What kind watering system are you trying to setup?

Thank you I’m happy you enjoyed. I apologize for the late response I’m currently doing a chick food waist experiment. So I’m doing a lot of designing and mini projects. Videos coming soon. lol . To answer your question There are a couple different sizes. You need to find out the size of the connection for the cups you are using. Here is a link to the easy set up water line. a.co/d/3viW2WZ

To my understanding, you don’t want to feed them any citrus, no avocado, and keep them away from tomato plants. They can eat tomatoes do not feed them the vine. Basically no nightshade family. I choose not to feed them anything that’s been cooked in oil or processed it’s really not healthy for us so I don’t feed it to them. I rinse everything well.

I appreciate it. I’m happy you enjoyed it. It was a 2 week long event! I shortened a lot of it. So it wouldn’t be like 30 clips. A lot more fails then shown 🤣🤣🤣

Take your time and make sure whatever water container you get will fit and isn’t to large or to small. I like the locking seal lids. Not the pop on tops. Less debris gets around the edges into the water

Thank you for watching. Plumbers tape would work if you were screwing the nipples into the T fittings. But for flush mounting like I’m doing I’m the video. Plumbers puddy is what you want to use. They will figure out how to use them. I would change it over on a Saturday and go out every couple hours and tap the nipples and show them how to drink out of them.

Just uploaded a short video. On how to teach them to drink from chicken nipples. I hope it helps

You're welcome 😊

Just remember 2 weeks old. I have the chick waterers for the first 2 weeks. I raise the water a half inch when they are 3 days old. Then continue to raise as they grow. 2 weeks old they get the chicken nipples. I’m happy this will help you. Watch my watering system for baby quail for when they are first hatched.

Thank you. It was a evolving extensive build. I hope it inspires others.
