    I love that you don't just take care of basic needs for your livestock but that you go above and beyond to give them comfortable enjoyable lives! Keep up the good work!

    We thought of telling you both that it will be a good idea to put a net on the inside of the ccop so when you open the door the quails will not fly out as they are birds they are very quick to fly off and they don't come back. We are from Srilanka and love your videos and have been big fans of you both for the last 4years all the best from all of us God bless ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍

    I tell ya what; when I am able to create a space for a group of animals that allows them to do more of what God intended I feel so happy. I feel joyful that God has given me the animals and has given me the space, brains, patients, and time to create those spaces.
    Peace and Love Neighbors❤

    That looks like such a nice setup for them. They seem happy, running around, exploring, they're able to scratch in the wood shavings and some were interested in looking outside. So much better than being on wire, I'm sure. It's good to see people who Really care about giving their animals a good life, even if they are a food source. I hope it works out the way you want. ❤❤

    I used sand in the bottom of our outdoor aviary. They spent all day dust bathing in it, and scratching around, so it stayed extremely clean, and they never seemed to bury any of their eggs. I just used a modified rake as a large kitty scooper 3-4 times a year to sift out the waste chunks, and refreshed the sand as needed. Stayed perfectly clean, dry, and no smell!

    • @gelwood99
      @gelwood99 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I have sand in my stationary coop and wood chips in their run and there is no order at all. I was told that once a year it would require cleaning out and new sand but that hasn't been the case at all. They keep it stirred up and the sand dedicated their poop so much that after 4 years there has been no need for me to do anything else. I would never have any other bedding than sand in any coop holding poultry!

    Kevin I think you enjoy quail as much as Sarah enjoys the silky chickens. Whether it lasts long term or not you got to give it a go. Be well, Blessings 😊

  • @cherrydowns7745
    @cherrydowns7745 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Having had experiences with wily racoons If it were my door I would also put a lock on the bottom so a raccoon could not pull the door open at the bottom! I see a bunch of happy little birds!

    Hi Kevin and Sarah. I have been watching your videos on you tube for some time and I want you both to know that I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I just today subscribed to your channel , I think that a couple like you that is not ashamed to let others know that you are a Christian deserves all the support I can. I also love the shirts that you wear,Sarah. You know the ones that have Bible verses on them.God bless you both and blessings to your channel. You will never know how much of an impact you have on others.

  • @misty4782
    @misty4782 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    TIP: I've seen reviews, from bird owners, that installing linoleum on the floor, then whatever absorbing material on top, makes cleaning so much easier. Just thought I'd pass this along. God bless. 🥰🥰

  • @lesleydickson7746
    @lesleydickson7746 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Very please to see your quail getting a better quality of life. I’ve always felt sorry for them in their cages. I hope the new hoop coop is a big success.

  • @amandabottoms1
    @amandabottoms1 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    pro tip- change out the tarps for greenhouse plastic over the winter. 10/10 would recommend. We didn't have any winter lull in egg production last year, but they stop laying in the heat and humidity of summer, so they are still getting a break.

  • @kayelowe4333

    I have to admire a man that can read criticism on the internet and then filter it and discern it and make improvement from said feedback.
    It's frustrating to watch some channels ignore the feedback, and then spend the next 2 videos explaining how they are working around said problem. 😂

  • @etakjam1536
    @etakjam1536 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Those look like happy quail! The only thing I would have added to your awesome coop is a layer of cheap linoleum floor on top of the wood to make it easier to clean out and protect the floor. I hope this method of keeping quail works out-- that's a set up I would love to build for my (future) quail. Thanks for sharing how you built it!

    @Bennettfarm ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love the quail pen! When I had quail they really loved a shoe bin with sand in it for dusting in. Like what you have with hay. A fun thing to add as well is some tree branches for them to play and hide in.

    @WithrowUrbanHomestead ปีที่แล้ว

    Great setup! Quail were my pandemic project.
    I raised them outside on shavings with sand bowls and some twig hideout tunnels. Most of mine laid their eggs in the hideouts. You are right they LOVE hay!
    I would greet them with a handful of mealworms every day. It was the way to their hearts. In the fall I would throw in any crickets I could catch.
    I also grew pea shoots for them giving their yolks a rich orange color.

  • @kathleenfrost6563
    @kathleenfrost6563 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I chuckled at the comment, "It could be like an Easter egg hunt everyday, looking for the eggs." These are lucky quail. You always seem to have their best interests a heart!

  • @colene77
    @colene77 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It will be a great thing!!!! Critters like room!!! Just a suggestion; maybe in one corner pile a bunch of small twigs/branches, they’d love to hide under that!!

    Lots of mouth breathing, are they smart enough to find their water without dipping beaks in? Hopefully they cool down, explore, destress and find their water. What a lovey home you thoughfully created for them❤❤❤ godbless you two.

    The quail house looks really awesome. I’m sure they will be very happy in that confinement for cleaning purposes. The only thing I could say might do different would be to put a vinyl floor on the bottom to help control, moisture to protect the floor and make it easier for sweeping.😊

  • @capridovonrenislam4128
    @capridovonrenislam4128 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    They were fluttering, probably a bit hot or stressed out with the moving, but they will be just fine, that's a great place for them, much better quality life. Their home looks awesome, do they fight now that they are all together?. We love to watch them birds so don't be shy and show us a bit more footage, it's very soothing. 😄
