When the wind blows the wrong way, there’s always blue tarps and clothes-pin type clamps...
Yes, however, the weather prognosticators did not say cover your quail cages. They said it would rain. Good with rain. Not good with howling tornado force winds. At the point I understood this, I was fine with the quail getting damp. The top of the bedding dried.
Yes, my “pens” are probably a little more substantial than quail need.
Before the greenwood began to dry, I could barely move them along. We did have a night—a howling (late) blizzard—that worried me. The one I had built at the time, the lightest one, never thought of moving though I had to shovel it out in the morning to check on my poor little meaties.
I just candled my day five homegrowns. One looks great with movement. Two are clear. The other nine have some development but are either too dark or just too ambiguous to tell much. Definitely vessels with a central embryo starting but no obvious movement. 
Ohhh my god I forgot about painting...thought I was done spending money! Did you get it finished?
I learn something everytime I hatch and I've been hatching all kinds of eggs for over 50 years!
I got the coop finished. Still working on the pieces for the runs. The run is being built in two parts, so I have an adjustable sized enclosure, either 6'x4' or 6'x8' plus the 2'x6' coop. That should be plenty of space for the permanent 6 bird flock and any meat birds that need some time before going on to their great reward in the sky.
