We had talked to our neighbor before and he once mentioned that he had
rabbit hutches, even though he said he wouldn't be keeping any more
rabbits. Well today he was out in the yard(waiting for his mower-men)
and we stopped by and asked about whether he was still wanted to get
rid of the rabbit hutches. He said yes and for us to name a price. We
offered him 20, since that's the only bill we had on us and loaded up
the truck.
The large hutch is great. Wooden frame with hardwire cloth. The coop
is about 7'X2'X2'. It has an enclosed rabbit hutch about a foot long
on one side. And a sheet metal top with pullouts pieces, to make it
harder for the rain to get in at an angle.
The smaller cage is about 3'X2'X18". It is a wooden frame with
hardwire cloth. No solid enclosed area. It does have a sheet metal
top. It is one of those cages, that can be used for just about
anything at a moments notice.
We set up a heat lamp in the enclosed part of the coop. We set up the
waterers and then took measurements for some PVC feeders. We were so
excited and it seemed to fit the quail perfectly so far. The babies
were so happy to have space to flap their wings, they took turns
flying down the length of the cage.
I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow if I have time and can remember. I thought it was a great deal for two rabbit hutches. Both were very sturdy and the larger one took 4 people to get it in the back of the truck(sucker was heavy). The man had kept them up on bricks, which kept the 2"X4" legs from rotting at ALL! These cages look like they were built last week. We even got all the rabbit supplies that were in them, which included about 3 drip-waterers, two food dishes, a mini hay rack looking thing, a 5 gallon buckets, and all the supporting bricks.
