Hi everyone
Found this site a few days ago. Pretty cool. I've been raising quail for awhile now mostly smaller batches of 30 birds. I broke down a few weeks ago and built a larger coop. I still have to run my water system which will be a 5 gallon bucket and poultry nipples.
I made mine with 10 racks that are 3x3' each with a clean out shelf underneath each. I also added electric with a couple lights as well. I'm raising jumbo brown corturnix.
Here are some pics of the new coop

Wow! Very cool and space efficient!

It looks like we had similar ideas when we built ours:


^ doors unfinished here.

How many birds do you think you could house in yours? Mine will maxed out with 5 birds in each pen — so 30 is my max.
 
Nice coop!

I figure 90-100 based on the 1 per sq ft model. Although I doubt I'll ever keep it completely filled. May use a couple racks just for breeding.
