Kiki's Quail Cage Build

[Kiki]

If it were me, I would get rid of all the wood and use wire to hang under a shed. Not sure if you can do that but would solve having to wrap with HW cloth.

If you get rid of the feeders you will have to patch where they are. If you could hang you could just leave the feeders for future.

I don't know how well quail will do on the floor. If you put HW cloth over it I'm afraid it may be hard to keep clean. You can get a bag of j-clips and the pliers to crimp them and replace the entire floor with 1/2" HW.

Thanks. I'm going to see what j clips are now.

Those clip things are called hog rings. Made of wire. J clips are flat pieces of metal that do the same thing. Need a special tool to bend both in place. Not the same tool.

Thanks for bringing us along! Oh, what fun!

Just opened the garden for the chickens. They are cleaning the fallen tomatoes now and will be exploring for the next 2 months. New forage! They've cleaned out their flight cage of all but grass.

Still deciding - quail stuff in garden or chicken areas? They will have their own living quarters. If with chickens, easier come feeding time. If in garden, 2 trips.

Do what ever makes it easier for you.

A few extra steps each day won't kill you, I promise.

I'm making these rabbit cages turn into quail cages...I'll figure it out.

You can do it.

Wrap the whole thing?
Might as well build from scratch.

I agree WV

 

[Kiki]

I agree WV

Y'all are nuts.

I think you should just save these cages for rabbits

Well, duh!

I just can't, yet.
I really have to get the whole butchering thing down pat with my quail first.
