Thanks for sharing. I see you have an Amazon box in there. That's what I'm using too, along with a plastic dish pan that I cut our openings in. Do you have another photo with a different view? That might help us get a clearer image of your coop. Great job!

The Quail are cute!
More details about them and how the are housed would make a better article
Thanks! I have a 6'X10'X6' metal house-shaped frame, with a side-hinged door, that I covered in chicken wire, and reinforced with hardware cloth around the bottom. The bottom is right on the ground, and I'm using some amalgamation of the deep litter/deep bedding methods (in other words, I don't actually have any idea what I'm doing and am just learning as I go with trial and error...but so far so good!) I have the waterer and feeders handing from the ceiling beam with rope and carabiners, because they seem to get less bedding, etc in them that way. I have little J feeders hooked to the sides for oyster shell and grit. I use a metal suet cage for special treats, like melons, and hang them just off the ground from the hardware cloth.
