Raccoons and rats or not an issue here. And it won't be mouse-proof otherwise anyway. The smell of my dogs seems to keeps the cats away. The flying predator is my only enemy at the moment.

1" hardware cloth is much cheaper. Seems like it would work as well. What difference would that make?

I had two breeches to in two days so I added chicken wire all the way around. It didn't stop this owl from wrecking a rooster through the fence.

I initially thought it wouldn't need a roof as I had never seen a quail fly higher than 6 feet. One of the alpha males proved me wrong.

If I had anchored it at all, it wouldn't have been rolled over and been damaged. I would also still be in the smaller version. Constructing ends is really the important part. If you get 2 well supported ends, you can stretch net, or fence, from one to the other.

Day 6: I gathered up the pieces. The end panels were not damaged. I drove T-posts to support each end and stretched net across the gap. So now it is 7x12x7 and they have the room I wanted to start with. Yesterday (after I took this pic) I added a roof of netting also and tied it to the side...

Then the storm came through at midnight. The coup was sitting solid and I didn't think the wind could move it. I was wrong. The wind rolled it across the yard. Most of the quail had taken shelter under the barrels or in the canteen, but there were a couple scattered. I thought I might could...

It's past time to update this thread. Day 1-2: I moved 2 families together into the new digs. That's 2 roosters and 10 hens. They really acted like they wanted back into their safe little cages. With a couple of exceptions, they all seemed in shock. Minimal activity. Day 3: I lost my...

It's 7x8x7 actually, so 56 sqft.

Well, here is version one. It's 7x7x8. A bit smaller that I wanted. Those measurements come from the net being 7ft wide and the boards being 8ft long. I used 1x2x8 furring strips to create 5 separate panels that I can disassemble and store. They are outdoor glued at the corners. It's light...

I looked at some of those. What I saw looked too fragile.

This is relevant. I'm still in the construction phase, but, keeping quail in a coop prompted me to seek a catch net. I didn't need that with cages as escapes are rare and quail are not very good fliers. So anyway, I bought this net and I'd just like to say it suits the purpose well. I don't...

I have been raising jumbo coturnix quail for a couple years now in cages with good results. However, I have a limited number of cages to work with and a limited budget as well. So to produce more and put some in the freezer, I am planning to expand into a warm-weather pen using a wooden framed...
