That little cage looks beautiful, but I think there is only one problem, that wire is going to hurt the little quails feet, I think you should change that by 1inch x 0.5inch vinyl coated wire the quails will appreciate that
That was just what my client requested. If it were mine, I would have an open bottom directly in the ground for the quail to be able to dust bathe and do their thing. Lots of people keep quail like this or baby chicks when they sell them at some feed stores.
Thank you, I hate to say this, but I am not sure how many this is good for. My client just gave me the measurements she wanted and the rough idea of a design. I am not experienced in keeping quail, just chickens =]
The general rule is one square foot per quail although you can go a bit less.This is 6'x3' so 18 square feet. 15-20 quail could live comfortably in there. Nice coop.
What a sweet duck. Love how he follows you around. The workmanship on the quail run is second to none. You really have done an excellent job. Personally I don't like wire floors - I know this was a request from your client though. I have a 8 foot by 3 foot raised quail run which I built (it is ramshackle compared to yours) but I have a solid floor and use hemp bedding. I also include piles of straw which the quail love burrowing into. I also have various little wooden and grass houses for them to cosy down into. As with your chicken coops I wish you were in the uk. I would definitely commission you to build my next bird enclosure. You guys rock.
Aw thanks so much! Yeah I liked the idea of being opened on the bottom for the quail to be able to dust bathe and all, but she wanted this and so I built what she asked for. She was also planning to do some sort of bedding inside the coop and providing them with some toys. She has 6 quail
Thanks so much! I mean, I can personally drive a chicken coop to Texas in a sprinter van if you were really interested in a custom coop from me! Email bockbouquet@gmail.con for pricing and sizing.
Can you send me the instructions on how to build a quail hutch that can house about 12 coturnix’s? Or make a video with the measurements, materials, etc about it too?
Ask your customer about a smaller door on the other side. So you don’t open up the whole side. I have a coupe like that but it’s a double-decker like what you were talking about at first ,top and bottom. So we’re gonna have to redo it and put a door in the middle of our bottom floor. The Coop was a gift to me. And our hardware cloth is sagging on bottom floor. So we’re gonna have to reinforce the floor with two by fours or one by ones. Chickens too fat! Just a thought because I think it would be easier check birds & clean out with a smaller door and rather than letting all your animals fly by you.
Not sure what it would max at since I don’t keep quail. I usually build chicken coops for someone asked if I could build a quail coop of this size and style. She has 6 quails that she will house in here 😊
@@BockBockBouquet oh ok I'm sorry. I'm blind in my right eye and it sometimes makes difficult for me to see those details. It gets very frustrating to me, since this blindness just occurred last yr. I'm still getting used to it. I really like this idea for baby chickens as well.
They don’t exists lol. This one was a one of a kind since I usually build chicken coops, this was just a request lol. But take a good look at it and you might be able to see how it is built, you can use custom dimensions for yours.
