Looks good, Are you having trouble with the eggs getting stuck on the wood inside instead of rolling out through the holes?

 

[Pancholoco]

They still aren't laying. They hatched on 12/25/12 so in a couple weeks.

You keep food and water inside? Won't the eggs hit those on the way down?

(I thought you were making a battery style cage, that would be neat, but this is also cool, someone showing cage designs in the Quail forum

)

Inside water recipients are permanent, I'm waiting for 8 waterer cups I just ordered.
