I could send out Coco to lounge on the top and shoo the dog away!

Coco, my 3ft long tom cat who thinks he's a lion, his job is to "escourt" the dogs off my lawn.

That is nice!

So you can use regular chicken wire for quail? Here's me running out to Home Depot and spending a fortune on the other stuff, when I have 2 whole rolls of chicken wire in the garage. I swear, sometimes I think I have brain damage.

for the sides you can sure! But for their walking area i wouldnt as they'll be stumbling a lot

they WILL stick hteir heads through the chicken wire which makes many opportunities for sneaky predators lol.

Be careful with using chicken wire on cages or pens, especially for quail. The quail will stick their heads through it and predators are quick to grab them or decapitate them. Also, raccoons and other predators can stick their arms in through the chicken wire mesh and grab the quail and kill them, even if they cannot get the whole quail out.

Someone open the window to get some of this dust out. This thread must have been in the back of the closet.

ROFL Kingmt. I have seen this thread a few times. I think it comes up if someone searches quail pens, because I recognized the dog under the pen & knew what the discussion would be, and I wasn't on BYC when it was posted.
