I just finished my new quail cage it is 8ft long 4ft wide and 2ft tall I have 9 quail in it at this time but plan to add more. I put a shelf in it with a walk plank for them to roost. I also slopped the floor and shelf 2in to allow eggs to role to the front of the cage for retrieval. I used a rabbit feeder for their food and bought a small dog waterier for their water. I keep both food and water outside of the cage so they cannot play in it and the wire support in the food area I made with a larger board so they can stand on it to eat and it also catches some of their dropped food to help cut back on waist. They love the room I would like to put things like large pieces of tree bark and maybe even come up with a way to put a strip of sod in it. I had a lot of the materials at home to build the cage but even if I had to buy them I think the cage would cost less than $100 it is constructed out of 2x3 lumber with OSB plywood in the back. Sides are 1/4in plywood with 1/2in rat wire floor and 1in coated poultry wire in the front and 1in regular poultry wire in the top and a 1ft shelf along the front to keep the food, water etc on.
Hope you can use this to build yourself one.
