    Valley/Gambles quail and chain link

    I have a 10x12 dog kennel that I was thinking about turning into a quail pen. It has a soft top for the boinks (7ft tall). Can Gambles and Valley get through standard chain link?

    Using a Quail Tractor... Good idea or not??

    I asked a similar question a few weeks ago and don't think I got much of a response. My main concern was/is nighttime predators. My dogs are in the area during the day and nothing gets past them. At night I need the quail to 'coop up' so I can lock them into a predator safe compound. Not...

    They've been in there three days and there is already lots of little turd balls laying around. I'm trying to locate a strainer that will sift through that walnut shell. Cat litter scoop is too big and I also tried a kitchen mesh strainer (shhh...what happens on BYC stays on BYC) and it was...

    Button quail dance hall

    These poor little guys were living in a tub for a few days until we figured out what to do with them. Too tiny to keep outside with the other quail. Found an terrarium on sale and filled it with walnut shell litter and some plants. Wife gave me her led strip lighting to play with - result...

    Quail tractor questions

    I have a couple of Gambels quail and planning to get a few more. I'm want to build a quail tractor so I can move them around my yard. I want to keep them on soil so I'd like to be able to move them around to limit problems with cleanliness. My question: will Gambels use a 'coop' like cots...
