here's my button inclosures

Looks great! What kind of quail are those? That's nice yours will eat millet. Mine won't touch it for some reason?

they are button quail, other wise known as Chinese painted quail. yes they love millet sprays, especially when i hang yhem from the ceiling. they like to chase it around when it swings. that's interesting that your quail don't care for it, what kind are they?

Heres a few pics of my building. Its a old dog kennel. I still need to run power and water. But i got everything setup today. Tomorrow will be disinfecting and wash day. Then I can put some birds in it! I have currently about 150 white quail. And another 300 in the incubator.

Does anyone run their quail on the ground in a tractor type enclosure? Or permanent coop on the ground? Something that simulates them being in the wild?

If so, Can we get some pics?

Thanks,

I have been following this persons blog for the exact reason you are looking for a ground coop. This is her latest one but she has another one in her older blog posts. She was even successful having a mama quail sit on eggs and hatch them. Something I am hoping will happen with mine. I am building a ground coop with hardware cloth on the bottom and will be able to move it to clean it. I'll post pics when it's finished.

I meant to reply to your post but didn't quote it. See above...
Forgot to tell you I will fill the bottom with sand hoping this will simulate a more natural environment and scoop out the poo like a litter box.
