Mar 29, 2018 · I have quail supposed to hatch tomorrow and they will be my first hatch ever, I'm pretty excited. With the additional birds coming, I'm getting ready to build another cage. I have considered taking down the metal roof I built on this one and adding a 12ft roof to make more room for additional cages.

Dec 31, 2022 · I have recently been gifted four of these cages, the cages I have been given are much bigger than this listing I've found. They're the exact same model, just every length is longer. I wish to stack them as I have limited space, their roofs are …

Feb 17, 2023 · Since the Wynola Ranch cages have metal legs, they're probably a bit more rat proof than the Hatching Time, but I still wouldn't put them outside with no protection. @scyllarus answered your question about keeping chicken and quail …

May 11, 2014 · Looking to build a couple of cages for about 20-25 pharaoh quail. Going to keep them in the basement (with ventilation). Originally I planned to build the cages myself out of wood and wire mesh but now I am having second thoughts. I read up on forums here that a lot of people like rabbit cages for their quail.

Mar 12, 2018 · I need something to put under my cages to collect dropping from the quail. I have 3 cages inside the shed and 1 that is portable (outside the shed and inside the garage during winter).

Dec 26, 2014 · Quail are incredibly hardy and can survive brutally sub-zero temps as long as they can get out of the weather. If you keep your Quail in cages, you can either bring your birds into a shed or garage during the winter months or cover them completely with a heavy tarp during bad weather. Wind will suck the heat right out of your birds and kill them.

Aug 30, 2019 · I eventually capped the PVC pipes with some cheap ($0.49) test caps because the quail decided to get on top of the feeders and jump down into the pipes when the feed got low. The watering system is made of a 5 gallon bucket on top of the cage structure with poly hoses connected with hose barbs running to each tier.

Apr 7, 2009 · Cut each piece to size per your own design and you always have custom cages. You'll probably use some smaller wire for buttons. If you are handy in the least bit, you should have no problem building most small sized cages in less than an hour. The hardest part is cutting the wire. Some good heavy duty wire cutters make the job easier.

Apr 9, 2018 · I use straw in my cages. I have solid bottomed cages because of rats (for starters) and I have read of quail getting bumblefoot from dried poop on wire. It takes me two minutes to scrape out the old bedding and put some new straw in. …

Oct 18, 2014 · They walk on one layer and the other is a couple of inches below to keep things from grabbing their toes. Also, keeping cages elevated will discourage terrestrial predators like coyotes, cats, etc. as they would have to hang off the sides of the cages to try to get to them. My cages are about 3 1/2-4 feet above the ground.
