Door opens inward, so I am hoping that opening the door will shoo the quail away from being near enough to be able to escape. Really, they have to get out of my way since the door swings all the way open and against the house. Hahaha. Anyone who doesn't move will be a flattened bird. That bottom board across the doorway is a 2 by 6, so when taking into account the pavers on the inside I am probably stepping over about a 4 inch tall wall. My plan (and we know how those seem to never work out) is to make sure I close the door as soon as I am inside. That way there is only a limited opportunity for escape. But making something a little taller isn't out of the question. I would need to have it on the exterior of the coop.
