quail coop

We finished the aviary (or quaviary :p) last week but I haven't gotten around to making a post about it yet. I wanted to post our process for others who may be interested in building an aviary or natural-style enclosure for their quail, since @le_bwah's posts about their aviary gave me a lot of...

I was just curious what kind of paint/sealant for wood do you all use for your quail coops and hutches? My first time with quail and i want a safe option for them obviously.

Hello, everyone! I currently have 6 chickens (all silkies, the mama and her 5 chicks who are nearly grown now) but we want to switch out from chickens to quail in the near future. We are planning to give our current chickens to good homes once we find them, and we want to re-use their coop area...

Here's an image of my extra large sandbath for quail. It's made of a cement mixing pan, a vinyl plank and a 4x4 so they can get in and out.

Hello there! I've been using BYC basically everyday now, so here's another thread! 😆 So I'm planning on letting my quail (once they're fully mature) roam around my moms garden, but we need to figure out how high the fence needs to be. My friend knows how to clip quail wings, so we're planning...

Hi all, I’ve found lots of clever cute names for chicken and duck coops. Looking for some ideas for my quail coop! Thanks

Hello! I'm having trouble with cats where my crops are, so I'm building a huge cage with chicken wire to protect them (3x10 meters x 2 meter tall). I had the beautiful idea to put a small coop with about 6-10 quails inside the cage. They will help me solve my "mealybugs" or "woodlouse" problem...

My little Japanese buddies got a big upgrade today, introducing QUAIL MANSION! They settled in immediately, and are absolutely loving it so far!

my husband and I enjoyed building a new coop/run for some of our quail. This is made from pressure treated 2x4s and reclaimed cedar. It’s on the ground (even under the covered portion) and has a large 1/4” hardware cloth apron buried as well as rocks and a flagstone pathway. It houses 4 females...

Hello I plan on adding some quail to our backyard. We have chickens already and had a friend with quail. My question is if i plan on letting them free range (seooratly from chickens) how big of a coop to sleep and nest in is needed per bird? I plan on their run being where they spend their time...

Hi guys, I may need some advises to decide which hardware cloth is better. And by saying better, I mean sturdier, last longer, better at keeping predators away, etc. So I'm planning to build a 9 ft x 9 ft x 6 ft quail pen/run and I'm raising them on the ground. Number 1 is 19 gauge, 1/2 mesh...

Hi everyone, I'm planning to raise about 15 coturnix quail chicks (they should be less than one week old when I get them) and have some specific questions. Please help if you have any ideas/suggestions. 1. I'm planning to use my old 29 gallon fish tank as their contemporary "coop" before...

Hi guys! I'm planning to raise about 10 Japanese coturnix quails more as pets instead of for their eggs or meat. And I got a few specific questions before I actually start this. 1. Building material. I'm planning to build a 9 feet long, 9 feet wide and 6 feet high coop for them. Guess any 1...

I am trying to figure out how to design a quail coop with a planter for a plant on the top! I have a rough drawing of what i kind of want but not sure how to go about building! Any advice would be much appreciated! Or if you have a better design/plan please pass it on!(:

I have a 6 or 7 week old Quail and a bunch of 2 week old quail... can I put the older Quail in with the peeps? The older quail has been raised in the same coop as my chicken peeps and i would like to put him in with his own kind but I'm not sure how it would do with the babys? Will it be ok ? Or No?

I will shortly be starting to raise my first animals...quail! I have done a ton of research and lots of planning, probably too much! I would like to document everything here and get opinions and thoughts as I go down this journey. This is part 1: the build. I decided on an above ground wire...
