Quail Brooder/grow out?

[glewis121]

Does anyone have pictures of their quail brooder or grow out?

They are coturnix quail.

My Quail are now a week old and just in a cardboard box brooder and they are can fly out of it (they are covered with a screen now).


What do you guys use for a grow out cage?

They are being kept in the basement because I am located in the NE and we just had 16 inches of snow today!


Pictures please!

I start my quail out in brooder tubs like this for the first week - 10days in the house:

Then they go into this brooder (top can be partially covered in very cold weather) in the barn for another 2 weeks:

Next they go into a similar brooder to the above, but with wire floor and no light for another week or so till they are acclimated (sorry, no pic of that). Then, at about 4 weeks of age, they go into cages like this:

My cages are 24"X30", hung in the barn, and house up to 30 / cage. They remain in there until butcher, sale, or being moved to breeder cages.
