Can I see your button quail setups?

I want to get button quail and want to see y’all’s setups.Preferably ones that you’ve bought,not built.

Hello?

I have kept button quail and currently have a batch of chicks, but I don't think my setup is very photogenic. I just took a 50 gallon tote, cut out most of the top and stapled on hardware cloth. I made a couple "windows" in the side the same way.

How many do you keep in there?

A 50 gallon tote is good for one pair. I have occasionally been crowded enough to put two pairs in, but that's not really enough room. I usually kept 2-3 pairs at any given time.

I did the same thing, just with chicken wire

I would think the buttons would go right through chicken wire.

Mine have lived in there for quite a while. In the future when I make more I will be using hardwire cloth

Can y’all put a picture so I can get a general idea?What do you attach the hardware cloth with?
