I like the use of construction grade lumber. Cut cross cuts, nothing fancy. Looks good. I was looking for a design using scraps I get from work. Thanks for video from sask, Canada.

Just wonderful, I have been researching "raise healthy and fertile quail" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (do a search on google ) ? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got amazing success with it.

It looks good but I’d suggest that you use 1/2” x 1/2” wire instead of 1/4” x 1/4” there poop won’t fall through the 1/4” and the birds will have a higher chance at getting bumble foot

The do use the area to "take cover" and I find eggs there more often than not. The box is more for making the coop dual purpose for bantam breed chickens.

Sorry late to the video been putting the pen together and getting some things around here done. This is beautiful. Oh man I hate hardware cloth its wonderful once it's done but I'm accident prone lol. I get poked by wire a lot lol. It's so worth it when it's all done and looks great. Poultry wire is easier for most projects but it doesnt look anywhere as nice.

Hardware cloth can only be installed with a generous amount of cursing. Like you said, worth it when it's done, but oh lordy I hate working with it. I don't use poultry netting anymore as I've found that rat snakes can get through it. I came out one morning to find that a rat snake had gotten into my hen-and-biddies coop and then, once it had eaten all the chicks, was too fat and got stuck in the wire on the way out, like Pooh.

Nice coop! Thanks for posting this. I've got urban chickens and am thinking about getting into quail. I'll be interested to see how the laying goes, and whether it would be worth it to hinge the whole top if they're going to be more random in their laying locations.

it's been a few years since you made this, are their any changes you would make or do you still like this build? Thank you for the video, I'm trying to get a few quail because egg prices are just to expensive and I live in the city, we can have chickens but only three, but we can have 6 quail so, I'd rather have 5 to 6 small eggs daily then 3 large normal eggs for 8 months.
@lazypondfarm
@lazypondfarm Год назад
I still like the build. 2 changes I would make are a slightly slanted floor so the eggs roll to the front to be collected and larger opening floor mesh that is plastic coated wire vs bare wire.

@lazypondfarm

Go with a slightly larger mesh floor than I did and plastic dipped/coated mesh lasts longer. Also make the doors taller. Most ppl agree quail require between .5 and 1sq ft per bird, so that answer depends on what you are comfortable with.

@lazypondfarm
@lazypondfarm 3 года назад
I live in Sanford North Carolina. This Quail/bantam chicken coop is outside. The inside box is more for the Bantam Chickens but I think the quail like it as a safe space to hang out. Use coated hardwire cloth next size up from what I used and look at making you floor a rollout style (search it plenty of good vids teaching how to do it and it's worth it 😉). Thanks for stopping by and let me know if I can help in any way.

@lazypondfarm
@lazypondfarm 2 года назад
MANY schools of thought on space requirements for quail. Backyard Keepers will say you need 1sq ft per bird however many professional breeders and quail for meat/egg production swear quail preform better in tighter living quarters 1/4 to 1/2 Sq ft per bird. That is for you to decide 😁😉

They hang out there as a "safe" area and tend to lay there more than other places. I also use this for a bantam chicken trio and they lay in the nest box area.

I used 1/2 on the sides. I have since replaced the bottom with vinyl coated 1/2 in. The vinyl is easier on their feet, doesn't rust out from the poop, and 1/2 allows the poop to fall through better!

You will find that you'll be collecting eggs from all over the place. Coturnix quail aren't very good at laying in one single location, much less the location you intend them to lay. LOL!! Button quail on the other hand, if you give them a nest, they're pretty good at laying in that one spot.
