how do catch my quail

[lobo307]

all my 3.5 week old ga. giants, approx 60, got out of the brooder last week when i made a stupid mistake and left the top open when i went to fill the waterers. i have managed to catch about 35 and put into a growout pen but the others are eluding me. they are in my garage,thank goodness, but im having trouble catching the boogers. i tried a landing net and had good results but they get tangeled in the mesh and i have had to cut several holes in it. does anyone have any ideas?

cut a hole for this in your brooder and they should go in by themselves

you could probably make one if you are handy

that's my idea but there are a lot more experienced people here wait to see what they say

i don't have bob's but I use a good solid mesh bug net that has long sock and handle... might be easy to make with something like drain sock material from the hardware store, a handle and a hoop.

Sounds Like Its Time To Go To Wally World And Get Another Landing Net....

Have you try to catch them after dark?

 

[abobwhat]

would they freeze like some other birds do when you shine a flashlight on them at night.......?

ill get the beagles out to track them. They can track literally anything trust me.

They know where the birds are, they just can't would buy another net...
