    Hardware mesh for aviary?

    Can I use the hardware mesh instead of buying the expensive fencing? Dont want to quail chewing damaging it/breaking free/hurting themselves trying to. What less costly alternatives are there for putting on up?

    Couple Qs about new flock

    I'm building a large aviary for my new flock of coturnix quail. I'm doing a brooding experiment, having my quail hatched by another farmer, and taking them "under my wing". When should I have the newbies move into the aviary? I'm doing a survival of the fittest type beginning, with a hands off...

    Sacrificed My Arm for my Chicks

    I was almost done with the chicken aviary I had dreamed of for years when I stepped in a whole the dogs dig (Dog sitting, not my dogs) Coming off a ladder. My daughter and her friend came over and ended up finishing the coop part to safely transfer my fast growing chicks.

    Pheasant roofing and predator proofing!?

    Hi everyone! I'm building a pheasant enclosure and am wondering what everybody uses as roofing material, and what predator proofing measures you have taken! I'm in the UK so there aren't as many predators as there are in places like the US but I'm definitely not taking any chances. I will be...

    Planning quail aviary

    Hi everyone! This is my first post here. I have decided to get into keeping Coturnix quail for their eggs. I've decided to go with an aviary style enclosure, because from my research, a wire-bottom cage can harm their feet, and a hutch ceiling is too low. I also like being able to observe the...

    Quail Aviary 2.0

    Immediately after finishing construction on the aviary, I started designing an expansion. It started small, just a brooder or a breeding pen. But then "quail math" struck—I realized it's not a matter of if I'll get more quail, but when. The more I thought about it, the more inadequate the...

    Button quail housing idea

    Hey! I’ve been keeping cots but I was thinking about getting a pair of buttons. Has anyone built an armour style aviary? Would this be ideal for buttons? I just want a pretty display cage for them, plus it could be way more ventilated than an aquarium. This project will probably be a while off...
