- Jamison and I spent the last week building our new quail hutch completely from scratch! Meanwhile, while we were building, we had over two dozen baby quail join our homestead ❤️ This quail hutch has two cages that are 4' x 2' each. We will be keeping a rooster and several hens in each cage. We will also be adding branches, a sandbox, and several other enrichment items.

Baby quail are awesome

Simple and ingenious
Lots of respect and love
From Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤️🇵🇸❤️
Great planning and awesome that you showed the finished product in the first moments of the video. Amazing build!
Thanks for sharing! Great ideas!
All of your builds look so pretty! And makes me want to build them too! Beautifully done!
Looks great ❤️
Nice job. A joy to see and learn together. Look forward to seeing how things turn out.
This video did put a smile on my face, I enjoyed watching it. The bottom heavy gauge mesh is a good idea indeed.
Wow love the cage! Thank you for the ideas!
The quail Hutch looks great!
I like the way you work together and it pays off
Wow. Great job. I like it ❤
Great video! I loved watching you two work together to build your quail hutch! It turned out beautiful. I love the color. And thanks for showing them hatching they are so very cute. I’m looking forward to seeing them all in the hutch.
They are very cute!! 😊 thank you! ❤️
Best cage I’ve seen for quail
AMAZING
lol baby quail yellin at Jamison. they are so cute!
It looked like it was telling him a thing or two! 😂
Congratulations! The quail hutch looks great, and your little chickies look so healthy and happy!
Thank you! We’re super happy with them! 😊
To help save money, on the tops, back, and sides, use mosquito net instead. I would recommend for the door hatch on the doors, to be at the bottom, and not the middle, as the quails should be able to push the corner of the door enough to tilt and get out. Even better, put two door hatches on each door, one on top and one at the bottom. Great cage design, though.
The quail hutch looks awesome, you two did a fantastic job. Have a super blessed day, lisa@moneypit homestead
Look so pretty my friend
Well done you two !!! Looks like you had fun building it. I enjoyed my cage build . It was cathartic. Love the video. Great music.
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much 😊
Whaaaaat. That’s so cute. I gotta make me one 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
NICE JOB AND i LOVE YOUR COLOR
Love the new quail hutch!!! PS I love your husbands witty remarks and commentary! You are one of my favorites to watch!
He keeps me on my toes 🤣
This is such a vibe. A love language fr. :)
Greetings from Central London Tiffany
Thanks so much for this video! I actually found you via your rabbit hutch build and thoughts "I bet this sort of design could work for either quails or rabbits!" so i love that at the end you say that this cage design would also be backwards compatible. :D
Love the new quail hutch and all the baby quail! So glad that those eggs worked out for you guys and can't wait to see updates in the future.
Well this is my weekend project
I'm going to be using your measurements of the quail hutches and build almost the exact same thing for both my bearded dragons. Thanks for the inspiration
Just wanted to mention that Quail jumping and hurting their heads is a myth..yes they jump but there is no gaining momentum, LOL quail pop around the cage no matter the height.. Mine are 2 ft. high and they are just fine,, Happy little quail..I enjoy them tremensely and they are quite intertaining,,hagd..
Hi!
Starting to think about making this for my rabbits already…
Great inspiring video. I would have painted the wood before sawing and turned the cage up side down to install the braces.🙂
We typically paint the wood beforehand, but we got impatient this time around 😊
Hi💕
Oooh how exciting. I would love to build this for my gf and her quails! Any idea for when you plan to post the plans? I can't wait to get started!
Hopefully soon!! :)
Pretty irritated with myself about using staples instead of these screws. I have sooooo much of those screws on hand 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ all future upgrades will be done with screws from now on! 🤣🤣 thanks!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I’ve been using them for 3 years and still no regrets! Lol
lmao right now. i know the sound of a crow collar anywhere
nooooo it needs to be teal! this is very beautiful by the way
If I had my way everything would be teal 🤣
@@TealStoneHomestead wouldn't the yard look great with everything teal! omg;
You have a very nice husband. I love the joke about the pink and green wood hehe
He makes me laugh 😆
It a beautiful green colour. I like the pvc hardware cloth. That’s a nice touch. Did you consider using it for the ceiling as well? I wonder if that would help with quail injuries as the hardware cloth is pretty harsh. As for the screws, I really like using 1” narrow crown staples. You can get pretty cheap air nailers if you have an air compressor and it makes installing hardware cloth very easy.
Great video!
Greetings. How deep are the trays, what dimension are they and do you have link you can share for the trays. I'm looking for deeper tray and liking what I see here.
Love your build for the quail hutch! Approximately, how many adult quail would this house? Thank you.
Typically it’s one square foot per quail, so this would comfortably house 8 adult birds per level. That being said, I currently have 20 something growouts in the bottom level 😂 butcher day is soon!
Nice build! Where did you guys get the 14 gauge coated wire? How did that work out? Thanks.
Where did you get the droppings pans for the underneath? Are they 2X2?
We bought our wood and we’re so excited To get started with quail!
Great job!!
Don't name your food....nice build!
Inspirational videos! Question: where did you purchase the pricey wire for the floor?
I got it from KW cages! It took FOREVER to ship. Just like anything from KW Cages, the quality is superior but the customer service is severely lacking.
Where did you get the containers for the poop trays? Great job on the hutch!
I got them from Rural King! The 24" trays are $9.99 a piece, not bad at all :)
Hello from Wrightsville Ga I enjoy your videos they are very educational. L have a question in one of your videos you doctored one of your does eye I have a doe that I need to doctor what do you put on it thanks in advance
I use Terramycin antibiotic ointment from Tractor Supply! Just use a warm, wet cottonball to clean the eye (never force it open) and then once it softens enough to open, I put a small dab under the eyelid and gently massage it. Do this for 2-5 days, twice a day, and it usually clears up nest box eye symptoms.
Thanks have a great day
For the floor is that quarter inch or half inch and how is it working for ya guys a year later?
Where did you get the poop trays how much where they and what is the dimensions? Thanks
Did you put anything on the wire like along the cut edges? I'm in the process of making this, but nervous about little bits of hardware cloth poking out and scratching or hurting the birds
Where do you get those trays?
how many full size quail can you keep in here?
Could you use this for one single rabbit? If so, would you need the “fancier” flooring? My bunnies are lop/Rex mixes and I’ll be getting some pedigreed lops soon.
Do you have plans for this? Dimensions etc?
yeah.. better for rabbits lol.. great video!!..
also.. would edge win on sunday? lol
He’d better win! 😂
Where did you find those trays?
What will you do with the eggs? Pickle them? They seem so small for cooking lol. We raise a variety of chickens plus Muscovy ducks. Our Silkie and Key West Hens lay pretty small eggs but not as tiny as quail.
Trays are from Rural King! We will be eating the eggs for breakfast, making mayonnaise, tiny deviled eggs, and selling hatching eggs, to name a few things 😊 we will also be using the quail as meat birds!
@@TealStoneHomestead TY. I will look for some trays next time I'm down there. You should do, a how to, on how you make your mayonnaise!
عمل رائع وجميل

They are so cute! Trying to watch all of your rabbit videos. We are going to start raising rabbits for meat. Any advice? Should we raise pure bred or mixes?
Even if you are raising for meat, I would still buy pedigreed rabbits from a reputable breeder. They will be a bit more costly, but you can always sell the babies as purebred/pedigreed and you can also get into showing or 4-H/FFA if you have kids! Reputable breeders typically sell the best rabbits from the litters, whereas backyard meat breeders will sometimes sell any rabbit regardless of size or conformation (which can yield less meat for you in the long run).
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the feedback and advice. That’s what I was thinking, just wasn’t sure. 😘❤️
Your quail hutch looks very similar to my one but there is one thing your hutch needs to be improved to make sure it is safe from predators. It was the trays that have the gap above them for predators like rats or raccoons to burrow into the hutch and kill your quails.
Predators can’t get through the 1/2” x 1/2” wire.
@@TealStoneHomestead I was saying the gap between the tray and bottom of your wire mesh, the rats can get into the tray and bite your quail’s feet, this may not kill your quails but your quails will be seriously injured and stop laying eggs due to stimulation by fright.
Love your design. Y’all are the first to use screws. Next time use staples. Great video. Glenn
Hi，What are the length and width of this wooden strip?
Check out the blog post in the description!
@@TealStoneHomestead OK thanks
OMGOODNESS SOOOOO CUTEEEEEEEE I LOVES THOSE BABY QUAIL CHICKS

So I want to have a rabbitry and I was wondering what the easiest breed is!? I want to start with the easiest breed I am probably going to start when I turn 12... I also want to do showing and my moms friend has meat rabbits so if I have and extras I could give to her.....I am looking for a breed that u could be pets but also show rabbits
I am always partial to silver foxes 😊
@@TealStoneHomestead ok thanks as pets (i have that breed right now) I am going to breed lion head lops and for show I will try silver foxes thanks!
You should never cut corners in life unless your jamison
The color of the paint is beautifull But quals are groundbirds, so sad to see them on wire... (and also unnatural for rabbits
Video about rabbits ?
