Thank you for the topy

This is amazing and simply a beautiful set up. Got about 2 chicks today. I will try it out.

Nice!

Great ideas, thanks for sharing

Thank you! I’ll be growing mine soon 🎉

Quail really thrive on the ground where they can scratch around and expess their natural behaviours. It must be a nightmare for them in cages. Such a shame that this is the norm.

Hi what size are the wholes in the feeder? Thanks for sharing

Great video

has anyone tried this with a 55 gallon barrel? would it work the same or be too much pressure and overflow?

Don't put them in a tote having a perfectly good cage and it's 3 quail per foot take in consideration of the stuff you have in there that's space they can't use plus you should have made the breathing holes bigger get your information right before you post people going to have problems following your video I'm not putting you down just FYI I did like your video but some information is wrong

Can you do this in the winter time? I live.in Kentucky and in the winter it get as low as zero degrees? Thank you so much and I love your video

🌱🐥

great well done thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for your videos. Can you give us an update on how it worked out with the quail manure put directly into pots with plants? Did it burn your plants? Or did it work well?

I dont know I think you NEED to wash it with soap every time you clean it.

So cost effective

I’m watching this to make sure my quails growing up normally lol

What are the dimensions of this cage!

they're adorable and this is so genius, i hand build all my enclosures for my inverts and reptiles out of large storage bins and i already have one already that im not using that i would be able to easily convert to a home for quail, i really want to start raising these babies

Chicken manure if fresh will kill your plants all my plants died ok trust me the amniotic vwasctovstrong all plants will died if it's not cured quail manure is different from chicken manure

Thanks for this video! We have 19 quail and I would like to compost their manure. Do I need a compost bin? How long until the compost is ready for the garden. Also, do I need to keep the compost covered from rain? Thanks again!

Here I was trying to watch videos on fluid mechanics to make something like your watering thing. I gave up on trying to do math for all that crap and then found this video. What a great functional design. Not only do you not use an obscene number of tools which would cost more than just buying something from the store, but you're also using the few tools that I already have so it's even better!

The bell siphon is a real pain to use

Quail should have one square foot of space per bird minimum.

With this cage, as is, do the quails still waste a lot of food?

What kinda feed is that The one I found seems to be more dust than feed

Oh my gosh THAAAAAANK YOU! MY chicks keep getting their water and feeder full of poop and saw dust. Thank you.

How come you didn’t take out all of the old pine shavings? Shouldn’t you do that and then add the new pine shavings?

good. job quail Mom

Where do you live and is your zoning area ok with you to keep quails?

Is this for adult quail hens? What size tote is that and how many adult female quails can I honestly keep in a 50 gallon storage tote? I googled the info and it said 1 quail per 1 square feet cuz they are territorial.

Great video! I can’t wait to keep some quail. I think the tote could get too hot in my climate, but it gives me good ideas to start from.

Wire floors should never be used for quail. They have sensitive feet so being forced to stand on wire can cause painful injuries like sores, foot cramps, and bumblefoot. They need a better enclosure with a proper solid floor to walk on.

They need more room and never use wire floors it is really bad for their feet.

That cage is not suitable for quail. It is too small and not natural at all. Please move them to a better enclosure

I dont agree with keeping them on wire floors. They need a solid floor to walk on because wire can damage their feet and cause problems.

any tips for growing 1/4 acre of pumpkins for elementary school, in charlotte NC full sun with irrigation on red clay soil zone 8a. I noticed you put your pumpkins on a hill is this required? I want to grow F1 Rocket and F1 polar bear pumpkins for the kids.

Hi Quail Mon, I like your aquaponics system. I am building my own now. I saw you using a plastic bottle as a filtering system, what is in the plastic bottle and how did you build it? Do you mind sharing it? Thanks!

I'm definitely going to try this

Did you poke holes in the bottom of the top 2 creates so the water can drain down to the other create?

How big should the holes be for adult quail?

Nice ideas I want to try it too

Instead of plywood, consider using Schluter from board. It's the stuff used behind tile bathroom walls, basically a high density foam sandwiched between layers of tough water impermeable fabric. It comes in various thicknesses (3/8", 1/2" +), is lightweight, can be painted, dimensional strong especially "on end", can be cut with a razor knife (box cutter) and can be glued, caulked, or screwed to a wood frame. This material (from home depot/lowes or a tile company) is being used in the RV industry to make cabinetry due to its light weight (compared to plywood) and strength. Next time you see a tiled seating niche in a high end bathroom, realize it's just a hollow box that has been tiled over make of 1/2 Schluter foam board and the entire structure weighs less than a pound (sans tile) yet supports the weight of an average American... and that's saying something. The only drawback is that it is expensive although it used to cost what good plywood costs today. I suggest sealing the exposed foam edges with a schmearing of clear epoxy glue to continue the integrity of the inner/outer waterproof fabric and strengthen the foam protecting it from "pick out". Space age stuff my friends. NASA quality and super easy to work with. I find more uses for it every day. (HD/Lowes has a similar rebranded product (powder blue? Light green?) but I love the Orange Schluter original... compare pricing & give it a try. You'll be surprised

Lining the back with metal flashing material helps the feed slide fwd and makes the slope from the back to the sloped floor more gradual/rounded. The same material could be used for the face of the box, with a 1" wood strip at the feed opening to staple to and attach a less mess grid 1" x 1" (or 2") cage wire. This same design can be redesigned with an inverted V shaped sloped floor (or metal flashing "tent" to service two (mirror image) side by side cages and replace the side wall of the dual, mirror image cage build giving you a long term (2-3 week) feed solution for a cage battery system. A proper lid and it can even be used in an outdoor stacked cage battery.

so i can imagine that the dry layering of poop/shavings/dirt/leaves starts to decompose even before you add the water, right?

can I use puppy pads

Motion sensory responses ,,, they have evolved to notice anything that moves so insects stand out to them before all else,,, flicking their food about makes it easier to see...observation can either give you a limited amount of information or an exponential amount of information depending on your mentality and natural skill sets....it's no different with quail...

I could not find your general location on your about page. That makes it hard for me to tell how relevant your experiences to my garden.

Coturnix seems to like bathing in water as well as sand, only if they did both I'm pretty sure they would end up encased in a concrete shell eventually. lol,,,,,,,,,, does anyone else have experience of their quail bathing in water?

Your video is gold ...... please keep up with the videos thank you very much
