The birds are too fast and you will have them scape on you on a regular basis if you open that wide door often. And if it is too dificult for you to catch the birds when it is time to do so, then I would sugest dividing the current space into two cages, that way they will have less space to flee to? when you try to catch them.
Make sure you have ... By: cubaniton74. on 04 Apr 12, 01:06:54 Make sure you have wire floors, do not let? the birds walk on their own poo as that will make them sick and possibly kill them all.
You can keep up to ... By: cubaniton74. on 04 Apr 12, 01:03:15 You can keep up to 4 quails per square foot if they are the coturnix quail as they are smaller, so if your cage is 3'x2' that is 6 square feet X 4 = 24 quails in total, and if you want fertile eggs, then keep one male for every 3 or 4 females, so keep 19 females and 5 males, that way you? have a very good chance that all your eggs will be fertile. That tall cage of your could have been made to have atleast 3 levels, that way you could really use the available space and raise many more quails.

By: MischievousKittie. on 14 Mar 12, 18:05:10 no 'wet greens" gives them diarrhea. baby food, eggs shells, oyster shells ate good if your trying to get them to lay eggs.Game bird feed is fine. Quail chicks that are less then four weeks old should be fed a game bird mix that is at least 28% protein. Young birds that are between 4-6 weeks old should be fed a 24% protein mix. Bobwhite quails that are more then 6 weeks old will do very well? on 18% protein.

you prob can keep ... By: buford39465. on 15 Sep 11, 20:44:07 you prob can keep around 10 to 15 in your pen, but you would have had alot more room and could have raised alot more birds had it been wider and not nearly as tall. quail mostly? stay on the ground and hardly ever fly unless scared. i have 8 pens 12 feet long 4 foot wide, and 3 foot tall. hope i been some help.
I had 6 Quail in there but lost one today while trying to grabs one to take a look at it's chest to see if there were dots or no dots. From what I found out, male quail have mostly a clear colored chest and female quail of dots on their chest.
Any questions please feel free to post them.
I don't think ... By: catawba909. on 04 Feb 12, 08:23:47 I don't think walking on metal wire all the time is good for the quails and also, you have to clean the water container once in a? while and get rid of the poop and grim.

If you only need ... By: JbobsFunnyFarm. on 16 Dec 11, 07:34:01 If you only need them for the manure, you should try getting just the coturnix quail and get rid of the bobwhites - you can fit more coturnix into the same space and they're not as flighty. Quail don't need all that vertical space either. I would turn that cage on it's side and then you could fit way more birds in there. I LOVE the PVC feeders, great idea. Don't worry about winter, I'm in Northern Canada? and mine live through -20 C easily, as long as they have a box with hay to covey up in.
If you get the ... By: theCheskys. on 04 Oct 11, 18:43:44 If you get the chance to throw up a video of your quail? pen. I would be interested in the design you come up with Also where are you getting your quail from?
