    We really liked the "Playhouse" coop that many members posted on this website, so I went ahead and built one for our chickens. I didn't buy the plan, but I got ideas from pictures of the "Playhouse" coop on this site and drew my own plan... So, thanks to everyone who posted pictures of their...

    Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. From what I gathered, 1/2" is ideal for adult Coturnix quails, so 1/2" it is! Thanks again!

    Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore

    Hi Monarc23, I'm in the process of working on my quail hutch and would really appreciate it if you could help me figure out what's the best hardware cloth to use for the bottom. I bought some 1/4" hardware cloth, but due to my limited experience with quails, I can't quite tell if that's too...

    Quail Hutch (Pics of Progress)

    My quails are growing rapidly, so I'm going to start building the hutch soon despite my busy schedule. I finally had time to sit down and do some planning last night, as I find that it saves me a lot of money when it comes to going out there and purchasing the materials. Here's the plan so far...

    Building a Quail Hutch **UPDATE** Finished! Photo-Heavy

    Quote: Don't forget to share photos with the rest of us once you get started, I'm sure many on here like myself will find it very useful. I'm still in the process of drawing mine out on SketchUp, so I'm trying to gather as many ideas as possible. I'm quite new with this quail raising craze...

    OMG! Hatching Day!

    You can leave him in there for up to two days and he'll be fine. When I hatched my Texas A&M, it was at least 8 hours between the first hatch and the second hatch.

    Building a Quail Hutch **UPDATE** Finished! Photo-Heavy

    Quote: Thank you for your reply. If you don't mind me asking, what is the size of the plastic bin lids you found at IKEA? I previously thought of using tuflex roofing material as "trays," but if the plastic bin lids you're talking about are big and long enough, I bet they'll be the better...
