How many quail could you put in one of these http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/home-rig-housetrade;-complete-hutch-kit-24-in?cm_vc=-10005 ?
On that cage, I would put no more than 4 quail in there. The cage that I would really like is this one that is 30 x 36 (you have to buy the litter pan and framing kit separately); I would put no more than 8 quail in one of those cages. I originally didn't display it because "as it is" it doesn't represent the concept I was trying to show, and I wasn't sure if everyone would understand that there was more to the set up that wasn't being displayed. I don't recommend using this set up in an open area. I have a chain link fence around my yard and still had to move them. Like I said earlier, I keep my quail in my shed to better protect them from irresponsible pet owners who allow their pets/predators to roam freely. I lost one hen when a cat was able to reach through an egg tray and pull her head close enough to bite off. I've been relocating cats ever since.
