Currently, I’m buildings a third coop that eventually will be used for Coturnix quails and I need some advice to make sure my plan sounds ok to you guys with quail I was planning on building a coop/run set up inside my chicken run, the run is 11×12 currently, and I was thinking of walling off a...

I am building a 6x6x6 quail aviary/enclosure most likely this weekend. If it is not done this weekend, then it will be done by next weekend at the very latest. I am looking to getting only hens, or maybe one rooster at the most, so I can't do a straight run. I am having a very hard time finding...

Hello there! I've been using BYC basically everyday now, so here's another thread! 😆 So I'm planning on letting my quail (once they're fully mature) roam around my moms garden, but we need to figure out how high the fence needs to be. My friend knows how to clip quail wings, so we're planning...

I swear once you start getting birds, you can’t stop. Chicken math doesn’t just apply to chickens, in my case it’s pretty universal across all poultry and fowl 😂 Because of all the extra time I’ve been spending at home (ha!) I’ve decided now is the time that I would like to add Coturnix quail to...

I'm looking for a source for cages for coturnix quail. I need them to have pull out bottoms for cleaning so I can keep them indoors for the winter. I'm not trying to spend $40 for a small cage either. I keeping seeing crazy prices online. I need to house at least 50 quail, so I'm thinking...

I'm planning on building my first quail cage, and I'm in need of ideas so I decided to ask the community about what cage features would be the most beneficial. So far, I'm going with: Wire bottom with solid floor areas Sliding pan at the bottom for waste Tilted floor for easier egg collection...

So i am trying a blend of bedding and i was wondering if it would work. Its Cypress mulch reptile grade with a organic garden soil mixed in. So like 25 Cypress mulch and 75 garden soil?

Hi everyone! I am thinking about hatching some quail chicks this spring and I was wondering what you could tell me about keeping Quail. I would like to have them as pets and for eggs but not to eat. I have heard that coturnix quail are easier to raise, is that true? Also are jumbo quail better...

So I’ve recently been interested in getting a few quail to breed from but I was wondering, as quail are monogamous, if I’d have to house pairs separately or if multiple pairs can live in one area. I own an excessive amount of chicken and used to keep 1 pair of bobwhite quail so I have plenty...

I am planning and building our first quail cage. Done quite a bit of research. Need opinions from people who have done this before. From research, 2 foot deep is best. Allows you to reach to the other side. Using dimensional lumber is 6 foot long easier to manage or should I go for the...

Greetings Everyone, This is my first post so I thought I would share one of our best discoveries. We went from 12 quail to 800 birds in less than a year and my wife was complaining, (with good reason) about the smell from the coop. We lived in a residential area and she was worried about the...

Hi, I’m raising about 10 quails hens as for pets not mainly for their eggs or meat. So I’m wondering if someone can give me a list of what extras could be for their coop, feed and anything you can come up with. Many thanks. For now I have a 10X10X7 coop, some nesting boxes, shelter, feeder...

I have chickens and want to try quail. I'm starting fresh and have a blank slate. I'm seeing a lot of static hutches. I was leaning towards a tractor to spread the manure. The tractor would have to be moved to disperse the goodness. I'm not a big fan of shoveling ... good fertilizer...
