➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[RUNuts]

If I could just figure out how to put pieces of wood together where my cage is not so heavy then maybe I would just build another one.

When do we start?

To make it lighter use 1x4 boards instead of 2x4. I mixed but like the 1x4s. A little wobbly going together, but once completed, I really like it.

Those are the ones I was thinking of. I said the wrong thing before. I don’t even know what the heck a 2x3 is

Use aluminum angle iron and bolt them together. It will be much lighter than wood.

Are these like the bracket things that I used?

I wonder if the home Depot parking lot guys could build one for me real quick.... If I just walked out of the store with the supplies.

Yes. It is a 2'x2' box as long as you want it. Staple hardware cloth on it. Add legs, dividers, and doors.

I put wood around one end for an enclosed portion, but no reason too.

Google homemade rabbit cage and do the same with J-clips or hog rings. Build a frame and suspend like your current battery of coops.

Nope. He is saying make a metal frame cage. No wood involved,

I was considering basing mine off rabbit hutches too. Seems easy enough

The roof makes it heavy. What are you gonna do for rain protection?

Oh look it’s our exotic ‘Green Bobwhite Quail’

Hoping to incubate her eggs once she starts laying!
