Nice video! Quails are such funny little animals. My male quail is always trying to court the girls in his pen but they never really care for him hahaha.
@@ArtByKarenEHaley I've got sand down, was thinking about making false garden beds along the edges and putting some sod down. They like to eat the earwig bugs out of the sand and dirt. I'll stack up some of the yard trimmings, that's genius. I gave one of my lone males a patch of it today and he's been digging around all day looking for bugs.
Glad it was helpful! We do cull but only if providing space doesn't work. I've found it hard to get information on how to raise quail and other homestead animals regeneratively so gladd to have your comment!
I had 6 hens and 2 roos in 3'×2' pen one roo got beat up pretty good before I found him. Put him in a pin to heal. Two days later added 3 of the hens in his pin. No more problems.
Soooo, I neeeeed more how to guides in putting quail together! Certainly when there's more than.lne male and at least 2 more dominant hens and a flighty one (males hate chaos so it seems, so flighty hens disturb the peace and seem to make m agressive). Can I eventually house my couples together? I have one well established couple, one working on their bond and one I'm gonna try to set up It would be nice to at least have their forage space mixed. I keep them separated right now.
How do you clean them out? My 4 quail go nuts when I try to clean their environment and one even escaped! Thankfully I was able to catch her but its all very stressful for them and me! Any tips?
Hi! I use moveable/mobile coops and move the coop once the area is manured. In this setup for winter, I add green material and dry wood chips and clean out in the spring. Adding green material and wood chips aids in the decomposition of the manure and allows the birds to have a cleaner environment. Hope that helps!
@@suzannemortimer9752 Yes! Move very slowly and the quail will move from the edge being pulled forward. It always helps to have a helper shoo them away from the back that is scooting. I do not lift the coop too high either. Good luck! :D
What a wonderful video! Very helpful to those who are looking for a more natural quail habitat. Thank you for making it!!
Enfin une vidéo qui ne fait pas les louanges de l'élevage en clapier à 60 oiseaux par m2!! Merci!
Awesome set up, gotta post a build vid or a matience vid

I never thought about buying sod patches for my pen. I may do that this winter for them!
I use the waste from edging my yard for my quail and chickens, it works pretty well

This is so helpful. It’s hard to find information on how to breed towards peaceful quail beyond “send the mean ones to freezer camp.”

What I really wanted to know was can you move the coop with the quail inside, without any escaping or getting stressed?
