I have the standard Tupperware feeder with holes in the sides for feeding quail that works great but I have to fill it daily I want to add more food to it So I only need to fill it once a week maybe twice a week. I had a pipe on the outside that let me fill it but the raccoons figured out how to open it and they ate it all. So the container needs to fit on the inside of my hutch. Can you send me pictures so I can get ideas

I use something like this which I usually fill once a week.. Although, I would suggest the radius of the holding can to be slightly smaller.

Think I might do something similar but with pipe at an angle so I don’t have to open and empty it as oftern
 
I use a chick feeder, but I hang it up so that they don't get dirt and poop in it.This is 100% inside their hutch. I have 13 quail and I re-fill it every 3-4 days. I attached 2 pictures. One of the quail around it (you can see the height of the feeder is higher than their vents) and one where I shooed the quail into their indoor area for a picture of it up close. *I have Northern Bobwhite Quail*. You will need to add the hardware yourself, but you can buy the feeder at TSC. I hope this helps :)
