Keeping Quail In Rabbit Hutches

[quail aviary]

Hi All I Raise and Breed Chinese Painted quail & Japanese Quail
I Keep My Japanese At the Bottom of my Aviary Witch they share with my Budgies
and I Keep My Chinese In a 2 Story Rabbit Hutch With Ramp

For Bedding I use pine wood shavings and Hay
I Keep 1 Male : 4 Females For Breeding I find Rabbit hutches great for my Chinese as they are smaller and to them a rabbit hutch is huge I Supply Hiding places through out the hutch top and bottom along with a feeder at the bottom and the top

they Have Good access doors for Grabbing the quail eggs in common my quails Lay and egg everyday and when breeding season they lay a clutch of 8-12 eggs ..

Is that thing made of Cedar?

Cedar is ok for rabbits, not so much for quail.

Cedar might be OK if it is outside with plenty of air flow, but don't use the pine with it since pine can be quite aromatic. It can over-tax the birds' delicate lungs and air sacs. I get oak shavings from a local cabinet maker that advertises on craigslist cheap.

The pic doesn't show, is there more ventilation than just the front? Might need a couple more windows for ventilation. Also you could always paint the cedar, that will keep down the cedar oil fumes.

http://auckland.craigslist.org There is Craigslist for Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Wellington though it appears not to be very well used.

Your set up sounds great for quail!
