Quail ordered!

[daddyofbob]

Hi all,

We've only had chickens for a few weeks, but now we are preparing for the arrival of our new quail which will be ready to collect in early August!

We are very excited. I have built housing for them and now its just a waiting game

Here is the house that I built

I am not sure if too late, but my recommend is 1/2" x 1/2" or 1/2" x 1" welded wire floor for coturnix quail. It is easy to clean and low maintenance. There also 2nd layer of wire about 2-3" apart from the bottom to prevent animals claw grab the quail.

I saw the progression of you constructing the housing and it is very well made.

If you are a new to quails, check these useful resources here https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/102281/coturnix-quail-basics-information-and-pictures-galore

Good luck!
