    Quail cage question

    Has anyone on here ever used the quail cages from wynolaranch.net? I just purchased a 30" double stack cage with the waterer,feed tray and cleanup trays. Just curious if anyone uses these and if they made any modifications to them. Thank you.

    My new (hopefully) Bearproof quail coop

    Here is my new quail coop, a friend was getting rid of it for free. I put linoleum on the floor and braced the windows with alum mesh,ran power with a timer so I can get the 14 hr. Light. I also just ordered a Wynola ranch 30" double stack quail cage to put in there.
