I have searched everywhere and I cant find any good quail breeding pen designs. I am wanting one that is stackable and can hold about 4 females and 1 male. I also want the pen to have a slide out tray for the droppings. Does anyone have any pictures of yours, or can you share some plans for one?
 
Here's mine, the night I finished it (well, it's never quite finished....! 4' wide, 2' deep, each floor is about 12" tall. The middle floor is removable, and I'm having dropping trays built by a friend. The back wall is actually a double door, that I'll open very seldom. There are now access doors on each side, and a light bulb on each floor. It's not one in which the eggs will roll out, but I've since made a nesting area that they seem to be using (they are too young, yet), and I'll be able to retrieve eggs from the access door.

I have 5 near adults on top, and 11 on the bottom.

Not fancy, but functional.

Here's a view with the back doors open.

That is a nice pen. I am wanting one that I can put up against the wall. What kind of dimensions would I need for each level to hold 5 quail in one cage?
 
Yes I can help, check out mine, https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=407931
Mine
has:
-a nesting box area,
-dust bath container,
-auto waterer that never get dirt, because is about 4inches from the ground
-auto feeder,
-hardware cloth ground, that stays clean all the time.

The pen can be running for about a month without any intervention, then it needs more water and can run for another month, before changing the next chips, and add more feed.

Good luck on yours.
