Quail cage height

Is 12" height enough for coutinox? I am looking at teirs of cages with poo pans under the cages.. Thanks!

Yep, you don't want much higher. They jump straight up and the further they go, harder they hit.

They're "not bright" like that.

I wouldn't go less than 12", especially if you have jumbos. They can get pretty big. Coturnix don't seem to fly up as much as buttons do, but like saddi said, if they have more head room they will only gain momentum as they go.

Good deal 12" is ideal for more cages

yep just cut 2' wire 4' long in half and then bend to make the 4 sides and then add a top, bottom and a door and you are done

My cages are all 8" high and I don't have any problems with my "jumbos".
