Why not a wire (1/2" hardware cloth) bottom?

My understanding is the mulch will keep them busy scratching and doing what they do in the wild and keep there mind off of toe picking each other I was also told that the females are the aggresser with the Mt. quail. I hav my Valleys, Gamble, Blue Scale and Butlers on wire with no problems of any kind except them wasting there feed I hav tried several typs of feeders, but still get alot of feed waste with all of them..

I too had a problem with wasting feed until I raised their dish about two inches. Not near as much food wasted now.
Good Luck

How prolific of layers are the mountains? Do they lay as long as the bobs, short as the gambles, or in the middle like the bluescales?

I have a hen that laid 100 eggs one year. Most mountain hens lay about 20 eggs per year on average, but that's okay because if you have them paired up, the male gives out around 20 eggs anyway.
