Quail Cages

[jmullen]

I'm wanting to get started raising quail for their eggs and for meat. I think I'm gonna buy some coturnix quail to get started with. Anybody have any experience with the Hatching Time quail cages? I'm wanting to keep them outdoors and not in a building so would I be better off just building the cages myself?

Those dimensions are too small for the amount of quail they claim can fit

That's kind of what I was thinking too. I think I'm just going to build my own cages. Plus the prices of those cages are pretty high.

I wish I knew how they did outside. I am in a similar scenario.

What do you mean by outside?

Do you have those tiny hatching time cages?

I don’t have them. I have been thinking about what I would need to keep some quail by my backyard shed.

Oh ok.

Rabbit cages wrapped in 1/2 hardware cloth work great.
