    Hi Guys! Very long story short, had an emergency and had to bring my birds inside....I've always kept them in the sunshine and fresh air so this has been horrid. Right now they are on my wood floors with sheets of thick plastic and a lot of bedding...hay etc...I need a better solution. I don't...

    Can quail have too much space?

    I have predators here that make a good mesh floor a necessity! I found that a soft plastic coasted mesh keeps out the bad guys but doesn't bug my birds, having said that, I also cover a large area with grasses etc so they aren't on the mesh all the time. Use a really heavy duty staple gun...

    Quails using ramps

    Make sure the ramp is wide enough, they don't like seeing over the edges, little handrail type wood edges work well....I've had to install those when I've had daredevils that like to fly off ! Also, little treads are very much appreciated.

    Had two of my quail get free.

    Oh I love it when they know how to do that! My doxie cross could keep one immobilized long enough for me to grab it by running around them in a circle and using her chin to tap them on the head. Luckily she didn't like the taste, the few times she instinctively grabbed one in her mouth she...

    Quail for eggs only?

    Quail are wonderful! They lay like crazy and they are just a whole lot of fun. I've been raising for eggs only for almost eight years now. Really the trick is to have a plan for all those Roos! I have some in my greenhouse and I offer them as greenhouse pets to other people in the area...
