My Aviaries

Reeves:

--- Quote ---yes my aviaries are almost to big some guys tell me that my golden pens are to big and that is a reason they aren't breeding well...
--- End quote ---

I call BS on that one ! How big are the "pens" in their natural (wild) state ? You cannot have a pen too big.


How big are your ?

Don't forget the bottom 2x4s should be treated. Untreated will rot too fast.
River sand is great for the sand, but you still need grit.

Chukar Breeder:
yeah i know when that guy told me i didn't belief him they are only 216 sq. ft. that is tiny..but man the pairs are 3 years old and the males have tried hard to court but the hens seem not to want to breed..i haven't had fertil eggs..

yeah i always use treated and ok i will buy a bag and how much of a 50lb bag should i put in it....i am planning on making it 2ft. x 6ft. and 8inches high

Reeves:
50lb bag of what ?
Sand ? Don't buy sand ! It's free everywhere !

Or you talking grit ? Grit area only has to be a small dish, say a foot or so square, with enough in it so it will not spill. Not that it matters.
#2 size for Pheasants and #1 size for Quail.

Going to have a few up-dated pictures of my aviaries this spring/summer !

Chukar Breeder:
of grit..not sand i have a river that runs through my dad's property and i have plenty of sand....

ok 2lbs of grit for the silver pheasants

ok great can't wait to see the pictures
