I had coturnix at my old house where I kept them in a garage that was climate controlled. At the new smaller place, I would not have been able to put AC in the garage due to there being no way to vent it. So it was far too hot for them, and I gave them to a friend who had a better situation...

when you build a coop and you can only get HWC in 4' tall - how do you secure it where it has to be pieced or overlapped so a predator can't get in? Thanks

Does anyone keep quail in the same coop as chickens but seperated by sections? I have heard some people say that quail can get disease from chickens. Then I have heard people say they keep their quail in the same area with no problems. I have quail now they live in the garage in a battery...

I ordered door latches that I can put a carbiner through. :)

Planning to move it behind the greenhouse. I will replace the door latches for sure!

I think I will do that I will look for some heavier duty wire and make a second layer.

I used poultry staples which are really U-shaped nails is that the same kind of staples you are talking about?

I built what I thought was a secure hutch for my quail with 19 ga hardware cloth. A friend that has chickens looked at it and said a raccoon will tear that hardware cloth right open. Please make suggestions to prevent that. I have not moved my quail outside into it yet. Thanks!
