i've got three in there as of now, but can it fit more? if i add a run will i be able to fit a larger amount (6+)? i want to know because i have more on the way, due the first week of june. i can and will build a bigger one for them because i KNOW i will have far too many when they hatch. i will still use it as a breeding pen though, i just wanna know how many will be comfortable in there.

it's made COMPLETELY out of scrap materials i found in the yard. wire and all. even the latch on the door and the piece of tarp. buckets, too! the only things that weren't "scrap" were the nails & staples. i myself am pretty proud of it, and the quails seem to like being separated from my 2 and a half month old silver phoenix chicks.

I had about 8 in one that size, I split it in half now and have one roo and 2 hens on each side as the roos were fighting too much together. They don't need much height, you could actually split it into two floors and have twice as much space
