Hi guys.

My Quail are creating rather a lot of Dust in the shed they are housed. Just wondered if any of you do/use anything different to try and help keep dust at bay/to a minimum, in breeding shed's etc..??

Thanks.
Jamie.

I get dust in all my shed, comes off the bedding, I've tried switching from shavings with the chicks to easybed but it seemed to make no difference at all.
What I need to do is tie their feet together and stop them from scratting arond and kicking the dust up, lol.

I have a plug-in Ioniser in my birdroom to deal with the dust - it will work in a poultry shed too. The dust particles clump together and fall to the ground. Prevents breathing in the dust - much healthier for your lungs.

Thanks Anne.

Diane, that sounds good, can you give me any more details or where I can purchase one?
Thank you.

However, the one I use is from Interhatch - as it was adequate for my purpose - http://catalogues.kellysearch.com/fwd/catalogue_page.asp?ck=30945461&cn=1&pg=46&pn=

There are also overhead mounted air filtration units available (or free standing) - depending on how much you want to spend.

Hope this helps.

What a great idea, going to look into that further as I am fed up with the dust in the nursery (chick) shed.

Yes, thanks Diane. That is great, I will be investing in one.

Jamie.
