I have the ability to get on old bus stop that has been use for chickens in the past (has not been in use for over a year). I would love to get it and build a flight pen for my bobs. I KNOW you don't mix chickens and quail but can I spray this down with vinegar or bleach water to sanitize and use now for quail only?
Also roof height it about 10' thinking I could put a layer of the plastic mesh under the wire for head butts if this would be tall enough for a flight pen. My goal is a flight pen but if not tall enough I would do a low run.
The bus stop measures 4' wide and 7' long with 2 windows and door. I would remove windows and put in hardware cloth and use green house plastic for roof and make a new door frame with wood trim and hard ware cloth. Than a second ground level opening for then getting in and out of the run. I am thinking this would be enough ventilation? The run would be 4' wide and 10' long to start with. 68 square foot total for birds.
Thanks for the help.
