I have put together a new quial coop for the heat of the AZ desert. Here it is. 6 doors total. All 1/2'' hardware cloth mounted on the inside.

That's nifty!

Well, Thank you.

Do you think I should make nest boxes for them to lay the eggs in. Maybe place them close to one of the doors. Or will they just lay their eggs any and everywhere making it hard for me to get to them. I do have the two large 2' x 3' doors on the top but would rather let the kids collect the eggs from the sides or front. Both of my little ones love the "chore" of collecting our chicken eggs.

Wow, that's some pen! When I look at that, I feel embarrassed about the ghetto pen I'm rehabbing out of an old, free rabbit cage.

I like it!

What species of quail are you getting?

You can get little pans and fill with sand for them to bathe in .

I like the design of the pen. But, when I think of quail in the desert, I wonder about the black color of the wood. Seems like black would really absorb the heat.

Use In Arizona... Biggest Sugestion I Can Say Is Paint It White To Help Deflect Some Of The Heat

Exactly what I was thinking.
