Beautiful pen konjo.

Here's mine. Please excuse the Cell-phone pictures, I haven't yet found the box where the digi-cam got packed.....

It's a Rabbit Hutch that we no longer use for rabbits since the tend to chew.....

The pen as you can see has two sections, The door to the nest box has been dissected and a plexi-glass panel installed so I can check for eggs and not have to worry about them getting out.

There is a removable pan underneath to catch the poo. The large area has a wire grate to let the poo drop through. It's lined with hay to help with poo control. I need to find something else. Hay doesn't work so well, plus it make a huge mess!

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy :

Pete - nice pen!

Thank you!

I was digging thru the pile of junk that is either rotten or Obsolete around the farm and ran across this hutch. It was missing a leg, but I got that fixed.

A few screws to shore things up from the Furry tenant before hand, a little cleaning, and prepping and Viola! Ready for Quail! The best part is, the roof is made of an asphalt shingle-like sheet, so it can go back outside when the time comes.

I've seen hutches like the one you have for sell all over the internet.

They look like pretty nifty little hutches!

I no longer raise button quial,but when I did these are the pens I used to breed and raise them,Each pen is 2'x3'x18",there are also double pens 4'x3'x18"for the bigger hatches.I started out with 25 buttons which I bought in Oct.When they arrived there was 10 eggs in the box.Well lets see if they will hatch.I turned the bator off Jan 7 and now had 300+ button quail.I raise pheasants mainly and the buttons were in the brooders I used for my pheasants chicks,so I had to build another brooder for the pheasants.After the bator shut down,I was getting 200+ eggs per week.I posted on eggbid and sold them by what ever they laid that week,which averaged 190-203 eggs per week and got 40.00 per week for them.In the meantime trying to sell the adults and young birds for 3.00 ea.No one wanted them.After 3 months the orders were flying in.I was selling them in lots of 10 for 25.00 and needless to say I am never going to do that again.
