What do your quail nesting boxes look like?

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

What do you use for nesting boxes? I'm going to get a few button quail, but I dunno what a good nesting box would be.

My buttons nest boxes are these: http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/13218/product.web

And my coturnix have these: https://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10052&productId=10000245&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=10000002&top_category=10000002&categoryId=10000033&top=&currentPage=0&sort=&viewAll=Y&rn=CategoriesDisplay&WT.ac=10000245

though some have these: https://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10052&productId=10000612&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=10000002&top_category=10000002&categoryId=10000033&top=&currentPage=0&sort=&viewAll=Y&rn=CategoriesDisplay&WT.ac=10000612

Seriously, this is what they use to sleep in

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy :

What do you use for nesting boxes?

For corturnx i dont use a nest box they lay on the wire and then i pick them up and put in the bator as for buttons when i had them i didnt use a nest box for them ether​

Mine lay on the wire. I did put a small wood nest box in the pen when I got my first quail. A few used the box, but mostly they just laid on the wire. So I took the box out because it was getting dirty from them pooping all over the place.

I put a cat litter pan in their pen for sand baths, but they never laid in the cat litter pan.

So my chickens probably wouldn't use the little box?

I just use an empty tissue box cut a hole in the side cover it with fake plants and fill it with bedding the hens do go in there and lay eggs and they also get away from the roos that way too.

That's a good idea. How long does the tissue box last?

 

[skyape38]

I change the tissue box about once a month or as soon as it starts to get a lot of poo on it. with the plants on and around it doesnt get dirty real fast
