Is This The Best Brooder Box For Quail? 

Dog stops barking at the 16:32 mark .

I've now used a 20 gallon long aquarium with a 100W heat lamp as a brooder and have had much success with this set up.

Quail-con? Awesome!

I have put some serious thought into getting a Dale’s Quails brooder ever since my little brother got one. I currently brood my quail in my house… I haven’t been brave enough to brood them outside and we don’t have a garage/barn for it. But I LOVE the design! p.s. the dog barking doesn’t bother me… can’t control the neighbors’ animals 🤷🏽‍♀️ thanks for taking the time to put this video together!

I love my medium size brooder, that price included shipping. It'll hold 70 chicks and I even use it as a grow out for the boys between hatches. It's a great unit.

You’ll never go back to tubs! I built wire bottom brooders this summer, and love them!! So much easier to clean, and no poop balls on the feet. Of course mine don’t come close to looking as good as Dale’s! I have one of his small brooders my daughter bought at Quailcon.

I'm sorry my friend, I had to skip through your video, barking dogs drive me nuts. I still gave a thumbs up. God bless.

I now use a LG converted Guinea pig cage(floor & sides with 1/2-1/2 hardware cloth) that fits in very lg 2 1/2'' by 4' tote. I place hay/ straw in bottom tote, with 2 shallow coffee cans to keep wire of bottom. I will lift cage out; dump matured straw in compost pile; refill & put birds back: couple minutes to do. their in this till feathered: then to my Quail tractor.

You've helped me out with getting into rabbits and intrigued me with the quail. I'm ready to jump in. I just ordered Dale's single tier kit with roll-out egg floor. I'm so excited! We already have 40 chickens but once you have one species, why not keep going, right? Thanks for all you do to aid and abet our food independence.

I have this brooder. Once the chicks can fly, they will escape. So putting in food or water, birds will get out. I think it would be better with 4 doors. It is also difficult to clean around the edges. Gives them plenty of room though.

The barking dog at least got you some extra viewer engagements in the comments section ✊🏾 I appreciate the information you put out, Chris! Sorry to hear about the hatch rate for this batch.

I built Terry's brooder. Love it.

I like that it has legs on it and don't have to bend to ground all time,but afraid the hinges won't last long to how the doors open and hang,maybe I will try to make one like this!Other thing though about being on ground might keeps birds warmer though when on ground,instead of air coming up threw bottom.

You should put wheels on the new brooder box. Make it easy to take care of moving it and you can add some deviders.

I also use leftover pieces of flooring to keep my feeders and waterers stable. I just put them in the corners and they rest on the rails.

I saw comments and thought maybe they weren't tolerant people, lol. 30 seconds in and both my dogs nearby started going off, hearing the video.😂

Guess your neighbor Doesn’t mind her dog yapping non stop Had to turn the volume off sorry

If you sides came with a hole, you can use a heater plate, which I Iike. I had mine outside and the sides warped, need to fix those this winter.

Hello! You mention the cost of the brooder box was $125 starting. Would you mind sharing how much did you invest in the second quail hutch you build 8x3 and the total of material for your design? Much appreciated.

Quick question hope u can help. Im in southern ca. First year raising quail. I noticed My quails are slowing down in egg production im thinking its cuz of season changing. I have about 40 newly hatched quails i think will be my egg producers for next year. Shud i kill off my quails at end of season and keep my younger quails to replace my older quails (about 4-5 month old) If my older birds are laying less eggs in fall and winter i would save on feed and time feeding and cleaning. What are your thoughts.

Can you please recommend some lights can buy for my quail in the live tonight I'll watch it in the morning it usually starts around 1am here

What do you put on the bottom to collect poop in your shed?

How many adult quail could you use this for?

I like how she came out and yelled at dog then dog continues lol sorry you have to hear that,do the neighbors like you?Or they trying to get you to move!Anyways thanks for showing all this.

I could not handle that barking all the time! I would have to kill it!

Personally I blame squirrels

that dog really sucks.

WOW your buddy is very vocal today but he will get over it he's just wanting your undivided attention. 😂 Just like most people's children in the stores. 😂

The blood is from a cut on the side of your leg.

Bruh ,that dog. I'm sorry I can't finish the video. You shoulda just skipped uploading the assembly. That was ridiculous
