- Homesteaders must see this.The ultimate no mess quail feeder. How to build a no mess quail feeder. This absolutely changes everything for homesteading in the city or country living.This will save you a lot of money in feed cost. I designed a great no waste quail feeder I think everyone who is raising quail should see and try out. This will save you money!
Use a funnel at the top...easier pour ; )
As someone thinking about raising quills I think that's a wonderful idea what the feeders
Hey Dutch! The new feeder is great! You don't have to cut holes in your cage. There are three holes in your cages now. IF you want to free up some floor-space within the cage, try mounting your feeder on the outside and positioned by the large opening in the cage...but leave enough room to get in and out still.
Perfect. You have my same cages. I will be doing this. Thank you. The others do not fit our cages.
I really like this video. Very encouraging. I tried other ways to feed my quail but they still find ways to spill. Now I am going to try this method. Thank you for this video.
Love that song the quail is singing!Love it,love it!
What a awesome Idea Dutch! That new feeder is way better then the old one you made with the container. Ill be showing my brothers this, they have over 500 quail.
Nice and thank you. That saved a bunch of money on feed. I built a 3" feeder like you showed as well as a 2" feeder. Both of them work better than anything else I've tried. I'm thinking about making the chickens one - they're not as wasteful as quail but they still scatter a lot of feed.
3" looks overkill. Seems like a 2" feeder would work just as well.
I've been researching Quail feeding systems for months and here you are! I know you did this months and months ago but it's a light bulb moment for me this definitely is the feed system I'm going to try. Thanks, Dean
Definitely - your prototype design on the right with the regular 90° bend gets my vote!
Looks like a big improvement ! Great job !
Looks nice Dutch . You may want to make it with smaller pcp pipe given your cages are pretty small. I have seen some folks take entertainment centers put mesh wire on them made awesome breeder cages for there Quail u have to fix the bottoms of the cage so u can clean with ease. Thanks for sharing your quail adventure . Looking forward to Kevin's turkeys hatching.
Way better for sure. He's smarter than he looks
Hey Mark, don't you raise quail too?
@@HiddenHeightsFarm I think Dutch looks rather nice, try not being so rude.
I agree Mark, this is a great new feeder, Ill be showing my brothers this one, they have over 500 quail.
Glad you found a solution to your issue. people been doing the same design with chicken coops works great.
I enjoyed how excited you are and proud. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful tip! I hope to get some eggs from Dutch when his quail start laying.
Use cedar wood chips( shavings) to keep the smell down as well. It will help to dry the poop and will cover the smell and it will keep bugs away because it's cedar.
Have to keep that food mess to a minimum otherwise you'll end up with mice, especially living out in the middle of a field like that. Changing those feeders was a good idea.
That's a good point! I'm ready for him to get some eggs so I can get some from him to hatch lol
Nice and easy looking feeders to me!
Great idea he had!
Brilliant. Way better than other ideas I've seen
Love this! This is exactly the kind of feeder I was thinking of making for my quail, I'm going for minimal waste, but also an automatic feeder I can let sit for a couple of days for when I go out of town! Now to try to figure out incorporating this type of design, but for a stacked cage system. May just need a couple of more elbows. Lol
nice job I have feeding my chicks chickens and turkey with my pvc pipe feeder for several years I water with pvc as well cheaper and big water and feed saver try with 45 degree Elbows feeds down easier most people think it's a joke if it's home made and not store bought
Cool setup, looks much better.
Good job Dutch! Your wife will be happy!
I plan to use this on my farm that's about an hour and a half away. I get there about once a week or so, and this would be a great way to raise quail for release on the farm without having to be there all the time. Thanks!
Great idea. We just started raising quail and I was looking for a feeder idea and I like yours. Thx for sharing
I like your idea I’m on it as we speak 😊
Good job on the feeders
That’s the best one I’ve seen so far.
Looks like that’s the best idea I’ve seen!👍👍👍👍
Many thanks for your well presented video -- I have just made a no mess quail feeder based on your idea --- I made a slightly different version in that I connected a T - Part Gutter Piece to the gutter feeder downpipe at the bottom and then connected two short pieces off gutter pipes to both sides of the T Part Pipe and then drilled the feeder holes on either side afterwards --- the advantages being the food will fall down either sides of the T Part Pipe afterwards and it also takes up less viewing space than the idea you had off having two pipes going down to the bottom feeder pipe --- also it has a nice symmetrical appearance ( one thing I have not tested it yet as I am still in the process off building the cage but I am sure it will work well )otherwise well done for a clever idea -- Norman England
I like that. You've a lot of patience & smart. Good luck
I really am learning so much for you about raising quail. Can't wait to start my own quail set-up!
Me too... I wish he would hurry and get some eggs so I could hatch some
I am going to use that in my cages! Thank you for sharing
Thank you I think it is Awesome too.
I can definitely see the difference very cool I am glad you thought of making a feeder like that there Is so much more space for the quail
Those are sweet!! And if someone wanted a larger one with like 8 holes, you could use 45 degree turns on each end and a double 45 in the center with a third upright so you can fill three different places and put 4 holes on each side between the center upright and the end uprights. And using the 45's it would move more food toward the holes than the 90's do. Cool feeder Dutch!
Is a great idea to do it that way no mess all over I hope it catches on u invented something new that nobody has done yet.
Dooooood, I do the same feeder and also water for my turkeys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍻
That's cool. Do you have a pic of your turkey feeders? We raise turkeys as well. Check out our TH-cam channel, we're getting eggs now.
That is great Dutch!! We have seen people use PVC pipe for their feed but I haven't seen one like what you have made. We like it so much, that this is what we will also be doing for the chickens.
This was an oldie but, a goodie! Ma 2
Got my eggs incubating now, gonna make me one of these thank you sir.
Yes you did! Great job Dutch! You have revolutionized quail feeding. Enjoyed the video.
I am not sure if know just how many adds are on this video, but i had to set through 4 trying to watch this. It is a catch 22, good that you have Sooo many adds on your video for you, very bad if you just wanna watch Dutch. Good Job on your success.
Its the same as all my videos, i just tell ppl to skip them, thank you for your support brother
@@KeepingItDutch u r the best i like your trespasser story's
These are an excellent alternative to the feeding dishes that come with the cage.
I'm currently using milk bottles with holes in the side but if I put tractor exhaust flaps or just end caps on the tops of the pipe I could fill these from the outside of my cage and not have to worry about the rain getting in.
Ingenious!! They took right to it..
Good job Dutch!👍😊
And Daniel said you weren't the brightest of light bulbs! LOL! (no he didn't) But that is a great idea Dutch and you should pattern it! Great job and idea!
Nice! They grew fast .Keep up the job. Nice , Thinking.
My cages are setup different, I’m thinking of doing the same setup up but using 2 90’s with screw caps to keep the weather out
Oil change funnel from the dollar tree and that right there is a brilliant feeder idea 👍
Can you putthere cages over a galvanized tub? Or use plastic bins that they sit down in that isn’t real deep That way you could hose it out in the winter and put a plastic liner in for the winter. That way the poo is always dealt with. Good job on the feeder Dutch! Proud of you❤️❤️❤️
I love your idea 👏🏻🤝
Great idea! Gonna have to remember that when I get moved to a place where I can have livestock, probably still a couple years away.
Great job 💯💯👍👍
That's a great idea that you did with the quill feeders Dutch, Keep up the good work.👍☺
All in all, a great idea!
You did good Dutch. I really like it and plan on trying it.
Still in the burbs and can't have a small hand full of birds due to neighbors. Had the first modle idea about a yr ago when I was looking into those yummy little birds. I will agree with about you about you being the first on you-tube with that idea.
I like it! It is similar to a PVC pipe feeder I've seen elsewhere on YT. But yours has those handy filling pipes, the one I saw was just a straight pipe with holes and ends, propped up/stabilized by blocks of wood screwed to the ends. So you did improve on the original design.
Hey Dutch, in the cage with more than 3 quail inside you will need more than 2 holes for the feeder to prevent bullying for food. Like maybe 4 holes? Just an idea. Also use a funnel to pour the feed in.😊
Great concept!👍👌💕
Good tip your right. They will all try to get into the 2 feeder holes
That is super cool.. that gives me an Idea that I could raise me some of those to eat, or even use for eggs! That feeder I can make it myself to!!
Looks great. We raised quail for awhile this year we are skipping it unless something changes but they are great producers :)
You are such a smarty-pants!!! LOVE it! Will share first thing in the morning!
Both are great but I do like the 2nd one you made better! Love your channel a lot and I love seeing your beautiful family ❤😁
Nice idea. So glad it is doing well.
I need to make some of these!
Great idea
Pretty dang neat, Dutch! And sharing it with the YT world...good deal! 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks like a winner!
Next will you will be adding poultry drinking cup. Keep up the good work...
Good job Dutch! You're so right. Birds makes the biggest mess with their seed. Dutch, I would move that carpet from behind those cages. The quail will poop all over it. I would use cardboard instead as it's a lot cheaper.
Thats why i put it there to catch the poop from hitting the wall. Its just some throwaway carpet we had left over
@@KeepingItDutch oh okay.
I love it Dutch I'm going to use that when I get quail
I'm trying this out
Absolute genius, love it!
Street elbow works well also
Your newest one looks the neatest
Great idea! We're calling it the "Double Dutch Feeder"!
Good idea bid glad ya got things going smoother for ya
Good job!
Thanks for the video works great
It looks really nice, and works great!!
If you cut your pipe at 45° angles on the ends, you can glue them together without having to use the EXPENSIVE right-angle fittings. One right-angle fitting costs almost as much as a 10' piece of pipe. It might be even better to "T" the vertical pipe into the middle of the horizontal pipe but the cuts would be much more difficult.
That system looks tight, Dutch.👍👊
Looks GOOD DUTCH AWESOME!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
That is a really great feeder. Nice work. You should take a patient for your design. Now you can work on the water for the bird's.
What size hole did you make for the birds to eat out of
Awesome feeder....
That'll work! Love the improvement. Less waste no worries on mice with all that food everywhere. I didn't think Quail got that big, they are huge!
Good lord you need to get those things outside lol
Quite the inventor! What size PVC and what size hole saw? I think you’ve got a winning quail feeder.
That's a great idea Dutch! I use a 4" PVC style with 3' stand pipes for my chickens. I call them "J feeders"
You could wire up the small doors for them to eat from the outside of the cage you will save space. With the watering cups and a 4 gallon bucket you would have to feed or water for a week.
Genius Dutch, I'll need to remember this.
Great job I think. There great
The new feeders are a great idea. That will be cleaner and save on feed cost.
Awesome feeder!!
I got to hand it to you That was a hell good idea .
Really great job
Great idea on the feeder! You should eventually build them big cages so they will have more room. Maybe even fix it so they can get down on the ground into a covered fenced in area like people build for chickens. Just a suggestion. Your quail are looking great!
Im quite intrigued by this. Do you think it would be a good investment for a small business.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Living tradition Homestead made the ones you were asking about.Check out his chicken coops he made out of goat panels
