Quail cages

Quote:
That's what I use for my jumbos dust pan, one of those disposable (aluminum) roasting pans. It's kind of ironic that they would be in a roaster while they are alive!

I don't eat mine though.

I also have a board in there, the pan is only so big. You don't want them to have to be on top of each other to rest their feet. I'd say probably half the floor of the cage wire, and the other half solid, so they have plenty of room. It just takes a hoe-head to clean off the solid part

ETA: some people have enclosed 'coops' on their quail cages, these would have solid floors and shavings. Then all you'd need is a cover over the 'run' portion of the cage, to deter the rain.

They could go inside the 'coop' to keep warm.

Space requirements are objective. Mine did fine in less than 1 sq ft, but I'm sure they prefer more room. I do mine one story I don't want them flying up and breaking their neck on the top. Here is my DIY cage http://thenewdaybringshope.blogspot.com/2014/04/diy-quail-cage.html

In addition to the DIY cage I have bird cages I will use for quail eventually (when they start laying eggs for me to incubate).
 
For egg production 3ft x 4ft you can have 80 birds in it. Coturnix.
