I built this yesterday using recycled pallets left over from a tile job. Total cost to me was $0, but wasn't truly free as I already had purchased most hardware and wire for other projects. It took me 1 day to build (putzing around) but 2 days to disassemble pallets and remove all the nails. I used 1/2'' hardware cloth for the floor (raised foundation 3'') so they would be off the ground evne if set right in the grass/dirt. Inside dimensions are 2'1'' X 3'8''.
I have 12 corturnix, and it turns out, that out of those 12, 4 are roos. So I need to get a couple out of my Big House and keep the girls from getting "hurt" all the time. My youngest says the boys are "hurting" the girls, so that's what we are sticking with.
No it is not rain proof. Not overly concerned at the moment as it rarely rains here.
