- In this video, Which will be a series about building things with papa or DIY around your homestead... papa builds a simple starter quail cage.
SONG:
Just something about a well seasoned man to take his time and explain things in detail 😘
Absolutely
I've built a lot of cages, but none for quail (open at bottom for eggs to roll out and be easy to collect). My cages are built to be multi-purpose, not just for one particular animal/critter. And I just got some White Coturnix, and plan to get more quail. My experience is to forget the ready-made metal poo pans. Whatever size cage you make, just leave a few inches in between. Cut a feed sack on the end so it's tubular, then cut down one side. Lay this nice slick surface underneath to catch the poo! You can fold the ends in and pull it out for dumping. Sprinkle a little sphagnum peat moss for absorption of the poo if you want, makes it a little more manageable and less sticky.
That is one way to do it
I've made many cages in my life. Have seen many cages made by others. This is the best cage I've seen made yet. I didn't realize it's over a hundred minute long video time went by so fast. Thanks buddy for making this video. I'm intending to buy eggs from you this spring.
Love this cage design. The small amount of wood makes all the difference. Looking forward to the egg roll out version.
It’s 63 minutes long, not over one hundred. The colon in between the 1 and zero tells us it’s one hour
As an older feller, this being the first video I watched with Papa, I thoroughly enjoyed the explanation that accompanied this video. Quail are in my very near future.
Wonderful to hear. Good luck and if you need anything feel free to let us know
I am an experienced wood worker and cage maker. Your video is fantatstic. I really loved watching you and it made me miss my Dad so much though you and I are around the same age. I hope folks make these with young people to teach them. Teach them conservation of movement, conservation of supplies, logic and sequence along with the safe use of tools. I also want to say that if you do not have the money for ringers and rings use nylon zip ties. They are strong, safe and remove much easier if you screw up the putting on. Plus you can even find them everywhere. Even the rabbits do not chew through the large ones and they really try. I use them and even stack the cages for the rabbits so quail must be easier to do so with.

Your dad is such a good role model professional carpenter and builder!
This was a terrific how-to video, and enjoyable to watch. I also think I need a cage that has an enclosed area to keep the birds outdoors. I'm also concerned about predators reaching through the wider gaps. Thanks for taking the time to teach us. It really makes people feel confident purchasing from you.
Also using vinyl coated hardware cloth for the floor should be easier on the birds feet.
Hey Pappa you got me started now so I started adapting for my needs .I am making banks 8 ft long now and hanging them off the floor with wire..The bottom rails are hard maple and they are about 1 and a half inches after the saw kerf..So I drilled little holes thru it at 4 inch intervals and the side wires go down thru those holes .The stick out about 1/4 inch on the bottom and I just bend those over with a hammer .like you would a nail that went thru something.It made the sides very strong and left less wood rail surface that they poop on.
Your door latch, you could put a washer for a spacer on the inside of the hatch. Thank again for your videos I’ve got so much from them.
Good idea
HELLO from HARMONY MAINE!! We loved your cage building, great JOB!! I BOUGHT sone of that WIRE and started building cages and got into the roll of WIRE and FOUND that it was not WELDED in all the WIRE squares!! YES thats RIGHT, WE had ALREADY made a cage cutting it and the welds WHERE coming APART!! So WHEN BUYING imported CHINA MADE WIRE you had better UNROLL YOUR WIRE to make sure its WELDED EVERY WHERE!! 1x2 square WELDED wire !! RABBIT cages multiplied unbelievably 3 RABBITS X well You got the IDEA
Very funny and informative. I also bought some jumbo eggs from you guys. They just hatched. So far so good. Thank you
Just got my trays from e-bay! 18 x26 6 of them for about 11 bucks apiece . Great video ! Using zip ties to fasten it together. Thanks for all the good ideas !
I like the way you built your cages. And really love your guys's videos. I'm Wanted to get in to quail. But I Only got 16 quill eggs right now. But I like to get at least a 100 or 200 Quill time I'm done. I'm wanting to find a place to where I can buy some quill eggs to hatch more out.
I wish you all the best!!! You are on your way and remember we ship all over the USA 5 days a week
@@MyshireFarm How much for fifty batch or a hundred batch ?
You guys are totally awesome!! I am very interested in raising quail for their eggs, am learning so much from your videos! Thank you so much!!!
I like that you said you cheated. Even tho I know you didn’t, most tubers and their “$15” projects that require hundreds in tools. Great video
Excellent video with some great ideas. Thank you so much for sharing.
For us old guys, the WORK
Table is Great, no gettin on the ground🐥🐣😎
Absolutely
This cage is not good for out side ,winter and all.But sense I am putting the car out side and my quail inside the garage,This is perfect.I love the modular stuff and the stacking . I can not find any trays like these aluminum ones ,but then I figured I could just cut some thin plywood cut to size and laminate some cheap flormica,trim it with some pressure treat strips ripped off a piece 5\4 th deck material. I can just run along in front of the banks and jerk the trays out into my wheel barrow. Thank you so much Papa for helping me make up my mind on how Im going to build my cages. Now before I start I just want to know if this is your very best Idea??? Before I start and then you show us an even better Idea? Lol My plan is to get a hold of some of your birds or eggs.Hope that is possible.
This is our newest ways to make the cages but always trying to improve sooooo. As of now this is our best way. Hahahaha.
did you try ebay or a resturant supply/
Thanks for making and sharing video. On the cage sides what gauge wire did you use 14 or 16 gauge?
Take care
16
I don't use lumber - at all. Have no way to cut it. All metal cages are pre-cut into pieces (or folded) and I can always take them apart and use the smaller cut pieces as dividers that hang from the top; if I don't want to divide, then I swing the hanging down divider piece up and just tie it off. When needed, untie and let it hang down, put a few clips to keep it in place as a divider (as needed).
We do not use any dividers: we colony raise
Nice cage. Thanks for the tutorial.
Been a while Pappy but way back when my cousin and I made some long cage banks with just the one by two wire.The wire its self was plenty strong and stiff enough to support its self, but I must say yours are prettier and I like the idea of just plucking out the whole cage and moving it someplace else if I wanted to.That noise I hear in the back ground sounds a lot like Zack,
Watched an excellent diy video thank you papa
Really appreciate all the information
Nice cage btw
Very nice video. I would like to see him build one with a roll out egg tray.
If you chok(prop) the cage on an angle or build it that way the eggs roll forward into a space with a little egg catcher (if you have large quails - that don't get out the little gap - it's not rodent proof: but a cat with long whiskers is 😊).
Interested in the egg roll out version will that be a separate video or just added instructions on modifications to this cage version?
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
WATCHED ! I never thought about using different hardware cloth on the sides versus bottom. I've only used the small holes for all around but it's definitely cheaper to do the bigger holes!
"Not gonna make a bunch of excuses for all the tools I have" LOL
Right? Hahahahaha
WATCHED. this is so awesome never knew you all had a page, now im hooked and finally found a cage system i can even build.
On door latch you could add a washer instead of cutting notch. Faster and no worry of cutting finger
Great demo, very educational. Can quail be shipped?
Yea they can we will be announcing when we will be putting them on our website This Sunday on our live video
👏 great work
Thanks for watching
Wouldn't it be easier to build a jig for assembly? It would make it square every time and you wouldn't have to hold anything just glue and nail.
We do but for the video we were just showing all the steps
That tool shop is mind boggling lol
I Love this cage! Thanks so much for this tutorial! Wish I had it this fall. I've had two escape artists so far. Guess I'll have to try again. 😉
Would love too see papa make one of the stack cages with the conveyors. From start to finish please
I loved youre video's on how to build the quail cage . I'm planning to build some it looks easy to build. Can you show how would you make the roll out eggs version quail cage? And how can you stack them up with legs? And Thank you For Education on the video.
Good job, pop!
He does great
Good job now i know what iam making this Spring with my son thank you
Great Video. I used this video to build my cages. I adapted the design so the eggs would roll to a front collection bin. I was watching other videos by Myshire. Any chance you are making a video on your conveyor poop system. I would like to see how you made the under cages conveyors. Also where you found the belts.
Watched. Thank you!! I made one of these and got some great ideas for my other cages I built.
Excellent build video!
Curious as to why you attach the side wire on top of the wood versus around the outside of the wood bottom frame? You would not have the wire ends inside the cage then but loose a bit in height. I didn't know if it was important for strength when stacking cages or not. I have a full size oven pan from a used food equipment supply store and this would be a good used for it.
The tool you got at the feed store are Jclip pliers (the metal you put in them are J clips) you can get them on amazon among alot of other animal/farm related places like TSC and whatnot..... just got done Jclipping 10lbs of Jclips on a 25'x25' rabbit growout pen i built XD
Do you have any problems with rodents getting in through the 1" x 2" wire?
Mice can easily squeeze through. Probably 1/4" by 1/4" week keep them out.
Thanks for sharing. I’m new subscriber of yours
that can be built about 25 diff ways with modifications that would work just fine ..... nice
It's better to have your dropping tray larger than your cage. The birds will back up to the wire and poop will go onto the floor.
What is the name of the tool with the diamond blade that he said can be bought at Harbor Freight?
A grinder?
Thank you so much, but how do these stack?
You could put a washer under the catch block and not have to mess with notching it.
I am hoping to do a hanging system in my garage on pvc for now. Not sure how to incorporate the slope into it. Watched! Shawn Armstrong
Slope is easy on a hanging system . Make your front chain a little longer than your rear chain depending how much slope you want
What's the first handy tool from harbor freight he mentions?
I am not sure I will have to go back and watch that. It has been a while since we did that video
@@MyshireFarm he uses it at 21:00
A+++ Video Awesome job!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Does the poop fall through the 1/2x1/2” holes ok? Thank you for sharing your cage plans.
Greg Kinkade yeah. It works great for us.
@@MyshireFarm it worked great in my first cage setup. Except for in the winter... They freeze before they can fall through lol. Granted I keep jumbo.
Are you going to do a video for one that the eggs roll out
@@MyshireFarm where do you buy those little rabbit ring/tube things? Or what search terms should I use? I can't find them anywhere
@@adamrosenberg4367 "J-clips"
Watched. Gerat video.
If I wanted to make this a rollout floor, how much tilt/foot will I need for eggs to roll well?
An inch and a half
Building one for my quail!! WATCHED :D
Gostei desta gaiola
Tractor Supply 😊
Yes you can get them there
Love it like to see homemade cages l make all mine
Thank you....
As a rabbit breeder I build lots of cages. I watched this video to look for tricks on building some additional cages as I prepare to resume quail...IF YOU EVER GET WILD JUMBO EGGS BACK ON LINE. 😜😀
Those J clip pliers that are available at TSC or most any feed store will wear your hands out. Klubertanz.com items ZJC3 ($13.90) and ZJCR (22.40) are of the best investments I’ve made in tools. I’m not in any way affiliated with Klubertanz except as a satisfied customer.
They will be on the website by the end of the week
Like from Iraq👍
Watched!
Watched. Thanks!
nice intro
Thanks
I was wondering if you sell eggs or sell birds?
J clips or the hog rings as hinges?
Js
WATCHED! WATCHED! WATCHED!
How much you want for that truck?
We sold it a while ago. Was really cool though
The 2”x1” is a 1”x2”x8’firing strip at menards $1-$2 each
It's called a J-clamp tool 😊
Yes it is thanks
WATCHED
Where to buy baby quail online?
Why the center 1 by 2 piece at the bottom?
Support so it does not bend
@@MyshireFarm thanks. I did not think of that.
Watched
Raccoons can get their hands in the 1"x2" and grab the birds. they did it on my birds
Even with 1x1 wire. These guys have inside cages.mine are outside in warm weather. So I use 1/2. X 1/2 wire
👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍
I did not get the messurement of the wood frame back up the video several time
It really depends on your tray. We have many different sizes just becuase we get different size trays. We build around that.
Do you guys sell, hatched and sexed quail with overnight express mail?
I use zip ties
Zip ties are like masking tape, they are useful short term. I use them to hold the cage together while I clip with the j clips. I find that zip ties can and do get brittle.
😅
Thanks for watching
That's a prison!
It is wery dificult. I doing simpler.
