@@coreytran7415 You do realize it's that attacking the other that creates the toxicity, right? We as a species need both our mother and father, and any time we go without one or the other is a travesty.
@@Undomaranel We definitely need both but I think the data shows that overall, being raised by a single father offers better outcomes than being raised by a single mother.
@@Undomaranel That's presuming both your mother and father are loving. That isn't always the case. I wish I was raised by a single mother. My father was physically abusive. And no, he didn't drink or anything like that. He just hated kids, it was as simple as that. Little kids don't act like mature, middle-aged adults, and he couldn't deal with it.
Built our on quail coop when we bought our home. Had started with 50 quail, but somehow a cat got into the coop at night and tore apart most of them and the rest disappeared. We were only able to get one of our quail back. Love em, and thinking about getting some more later on. Edit: What I would do for your flighty quail is trim their flight feathers and the females do need holes to hide away from any males, since males will continuously chase them to mate.
A hoop coop is just a really large live catch trap if you think about it..... Seriously though, awesome to see your kids looking up to their really knowledgeable and loving father!
I'd like to see your quail "tractor" as well. Also, how about making a few extra frame "corners" to sit in some spots away from the exterior walls. Give them more places to feel safe so they're not ALL bunching into the 4 that are available.
I have quails too. I would recommend, that you install a board (30cm height) in the entrance, so when you open the door the quails can't escape so easily. They are very hectic and fast.
The translucency of the water barrel will promote algae blooms. I'd recommend you put an opaque cover, shed over it. Great looking quail hutch. When I was a kid I wanted to raise quail, but my folks thought that was just silly. Great job, guys.
I am a FFA member. I am in Division 3 of the Minnesota State FFA chapter. And I have got second and third place in Minnesota state FFA science fair. Being an FFA member I’ve learned so much and it’s a lot of fun. I am so so glad your son is getting into this.
They sound like propellers when they take flight, lol. They're also a lot louder than I thought they would be. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to put bury some more sheet metal around the perimeter to help deter burrowing predators.
I was looking forward to this video. My father was never in my life. I really would have loved to do a project like this with him. Stay in your boy's life. He might not show much, but he very much loves you being in his life.
Excellent project for a young man. Congratulations on building a strong and functional coop. However, I'm sure you will be adding a rodent trap. The feed and eggs will attract them.
Did you put some finer wire on the cattle panels so that, when the tarp starts to wear, predators don't just walk in? Also, it could prevent predators from tearing the tarp and walking in.
Dad, your patience is amazing and I’m sure that your son has learned a lot from you, including your attributes. It’s nice to see a father working together with their son. This is something that he will never forget! Great video, Shawn. Thanks
You need to provide a barrier for rats who will burrow under your coop and knaw through the plywood floor. Perhaps adding 1/2 inch hardware cloth on the floor or burying hadware cloth vertically to a. Depth of 18" around the perimeter of the coop would help.
Saw a video last week where the guy found traps online to catch Asian beetles. He freezes them when there are a lot. He feeds them to his chickens and other birds. Free good. Happy birds.
Yeah, those are for Japanese Beetles. It depends on where you live, how fruitful you'll be catching them that way. Definitely an option to consider if you have high populations of invasive Japanese Beetles. I'm sure Shawb probably knows which species of everything are invasive in his area, haha.
My quail would sit on those red cups and would cause constant water flow and would drain the tanks and make insane messes. I placed the red cups just outside a fenced cover so only their heads could reach in, they couldn't sit on them. I tried the nipple feeders but too many problems with those. For my feeder I use PVC piping 3 or 4" with 1-1.5" holes to access the feed. It's sloped and connected to a 90 with up pipe as the fill and storage. Also use lowest protein possible for layers and lower for your males or nonlayers you will butcher, that reduces the odor, reduces flies and reduces overheating on any possible hot days. 16-22% protein. I used a combo of chick starter 18-20% crumbles with gamebird 24-30% crumbles to a ratio that would give me the desired protein level. For my breeders and layers 22% seemed ideal for my birds, no feather pecking, calm, low odor so hardly any flies. Calcium only needs to be around 1.8-2% for layers. My coturnix LOVED cuttlebones!! They devoured them! Also millet like they sell for parakeets. Mine didn't care about greens or any other fresh foods. (I'm in desert so you probably don't have anything like my hot days.) Also I set out multiple deep- sided 6" and covered dust baths with Sweet PDZ crumbles - they sell as stall fresher. They would lay their eggs in their and some hens would "own" a dust bath and exclusively lay in that specific dust bath - so I had a ratio of 1 dust bath for every 2-4 hens. Some hens would sleep together and share dust baths. It made collecting eggs very quick and the eggs were clean. I used fine mesh colander to pour the PDZ through weekly to remove the poops and reused the PDZ. The PDZ really helped keep the odor down and kept it dry. I rotated males between female groups and only kept the calm friendly ones and developed larger eggs and birds. It seemed the Italian and Amber Autumn colors were the calmest, friendliest, quietest in my mix of colors. LOVE Coturnix, was raising them for eggs, meat and feeding my dogs. Also sold the wings to folks training raptors and bird dogs. 120 eggs incubated every week, staggered hatches in 3 incubators.
Quail are pretty dumb and flighty. My brother transported some in his car once and half of them died from the stress and he's a calm driver. In their hutch if you got near them they would jump up and bonk their heads
It seems like a lot of work, I mean, taking care of those birds. So much to remember, I think I couldn't do that haha, but I hope this video is helpful to many people.
It is always to see a father/son project. I trust this will work well for the two of you. As a commercial project, are you going to be selling the giant quail fertilized eggs?
Will you be selling any fertilized eggs? I'd be interested in getting some to support the channel. Tried to reach out through the website but the contact us captcha isn't showing up and the subscribe button doesn't work either.
You mentioned in the other video that animals have burrowed underneath the coop to try and get in. I also see here that you have just built the coop on top of dirt, moving the dirt around to try and make the coop level. Would it make more sense to put some of that plywood you have on top of the wooden base on the bottom side as well?
Your kids are really a joy and you spending time with them in such a positive way warms my heart. That said, I don't think it's a great idea to put your kids up on the internet, for any reason. You guys have a great life, I envy it, and while the internet is plainly lucrative, I wouldn't want it to alter your family life. Just my two cents. Love you Shawn.
you might consider growing some greens in planters placing them around the center portion of the enclosure, it will break up line of sight and even create cover as well as free greens for the quail to nibble on to keep them healthy. not sure of your growing zone fountain grass would create a nice hiding place as well. containers could be built reasonable and your son may enjoy the building of them. Using wood and sheets dipped in slightly soupy cement mixture, using the left over cement mixture to make slightly thicker cement with in the planter, place over the grow frames, let dry then fill with dirt and plant may have to make a temp cage over them until the plants grow enough the quail wont just eat the seeds. Awesome build the best part is teaching your son new skills. turned out lovely.
TH-cam unsubscribed me from you a while ago, but I didn't think about your channel until I saw your nutria video when looking up nutria for my friend to identify what kind of animal was in their lawn! Glad to see you're still making content and having a good time with your family!!! You make very entertaining and informative videos, and I love watching them!! Hope your day is well :]!!!
Would suspending bird netting, burlap, or camo mesh from the interior (by loose zip ties or other means) be enough to protect the quail from self injury? Curious if the feeder idea would work for chickens as well - maybe using larger PVC or printed elbows.
Typically for Coturnix just having low clearance is ideal, about 10" max. His set up is better suited for the wild quail like valley or mountain quail, not Japanese domesticated quail that don't sit on eggs to hatch, were developed for commercial egg and meat production.

great video - love this family project
You got yourself a young man there, Shawn. Good job.
Sweet PDZ Horse Stall Refresher & Pet Deodorizer keeps some of the smell down when I raised them. Doesn't take much.
Me too! LOVE PDZ

Stay in your boy's life. He might not show much, but he very much loves you being in his life.
Can't predators get in by going under or thru the tarp? Those wire squares look too big?
you should integrate a rat trap / fox trap...😁😁😁
Haha, he knows a guy
Interesting video. These are some handsome birds.
Very nice and it looks easy to make
Sterling did a great job getting the hang of the power tools!
Right on! Way ta go young man.
looks good. just need to weather seal the wood for longer lasting.
Excellent project for a young man. Congratulations on building a strong and functional coop. However, I'm sure you will be adding a rodent trap. The feed and eggs will attract them.
Great episode! Just in time for Father's Day.
Can’t wait to see the quail safe mouse traps
My suggestion to add one more door inside , so while you open main door , birds will not fly away ,
Did you put some finer wire on the cattle panels so that, when the tarp starts to wear, predators don't just walk in? Also, it could prevent predators from tearing the tarp and walking in.

nice work man,,,you and your dad really nice work
Interesting project - could it work for chickens too?
Put an edge across the middle of the coup to look like it cuts it in half. Gives them an edge on both sides to habg next to.
PLEASE NOTICE ME SENPAI!
Awful grammar
Instead of sticking a piece of pipe in the barrel go to tractor supply and buy a bulkhead it will seal better and pipe won't come loose
Great idea adding that grass to the sides to help protect them from the flying up. Overall, loved the video and your post build review!!!
Amazing. Has your favorite meal gone from Tbone steaks to BBQ bird? I do love me some Quail!
Great project, but how does it do during the winter?
Always preferred chickens, quails are just way too spastic, and you can't free range them.
Good one
But FFA projects are mainly for the kids to do - right?
I learned a lot today.
Thanks SW

Super idea .. recently, I made a coop attached to the house and compound wall but during monsoon, it was leaking..This is super and will try this.

Maybe a perch would reduce crowding. In one comment someone suggested a cover for the water barrel. That sounds like a candidate for a foamy project!
My coturnix never used perches, they are ground birds. They wouldn't even sit on logs on the ground.
I wonder how "predator proof" that coop is?
