Quail Housing ..

[eoghan]

We are thinking of getting a few quail chicks in the next few weeks
would a chicken ark work?
something like this :

i was hoping to get something like that ^^ but would it work?

it would, but i've heard alot of people talking about how quails shouldn't be kept on the ground due to them getting worms, or snakes.

if you're looking at coturnix, i REALLY wouldn't keep them on the ground b/c of the amount they crap...which is a lot, other then that, anything can basically work, even a dog cage with some hardware cloth put around it

Thats Pretty Sweet, Looks Like The Guy Put Alot Of Work And Money Into It.

2 Biggest Problems...
#1 Predation. If The Bottom Were Enclosed With 1/2 Hardware Cloth This Could Be Controled
#2 Diesease/ Parasites Which As Previously Mentioned Is A Bigger Issue With Quail

I made this last month and it works great with all the doors. For your benefit here is a picture. It is 8' x 3' x 1' at least in the middle. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/65954_dsc_0345.jpg
More shutters can still be added if you need em.
