@Fat Daddy When they get older they spend quite a bit of time on the perches. The chicks in there are 6 weeks old. They seem to be content to covey on the floor at this point. My other johnny house has 14 month old adults. They only go on the floor to feed.
Sure thing. It's nothing fancy. Just a 4x8 box. Feed/water on one end, a compartment for a dust bath on the other end. Perches up top. The ends are actually hinged to be used as doors, as shown in the pics. You can google "phantom quail kennel". It's a variation of theirs, without the recall...
I usually put them in around 6-8 weeks of age, depending on weather.
I don't use it as a recall pen, being I train on public land. Wisconsin doesn't allow recalling on public land. I have a few friends who use them to recall, and they work very well.....until a raccoon or fox finds them...
