That is quite the upgrade!! It turned out great. You definitely seem like one of those people who are the happiest when they have a project on the go. I am glad you have found something to keep you busy (like you don't have enough to do lol).
Asa, is there wire on the side where you put the blueish floor tiles? If not, you need to put some there too. A raccoon can tear through that with ease. You can see a little gap in between one of the tiles. You would be amazed what a raccoon can get through.
I never realized raising quails was a thing. Thought they were just birds and not birds that humans benefit from. I know people who eat their eggs. I’ve seen them in the store and they are tiny. You have to do a video on how to crack them. 😊
When I was a kid my brother had homing pigeons, I can't remember who helped him build his coupe Since our dad was killed. It was amazing to go sit and hear them coo. Also learning about how they learned to fly home from miles.
Love the clear roof perfect as that side of the house is so shaded. Would love to see a little run for them to use once in a while like when you are gardening etc Love that you are making yourself a little oasis of hyper focus fun. Hope that with Abbie’s placement ending that you will be able to have me time and that you guys are able to find her something soon.
Holy crapazoids Asa😮 awesome job...love how you're meticulous with your construction...i was waiting to see pictures on the walls, full bath and a tv...then I realized they can probably see the bar tv lol...no, honestly though in all seriousness, you did and outstanding job...you missed your calling...well done👏👏👏👏👏
The girls are likely to pick on each other as the boys are to pick on the girls. If one of your hens is a bit smaller or not quite physically correct, the rest of the flock will drive at them and pick at them. I love your new coop Asa. I so relate to your desire to grow things and make things and all of that. Everyone from the south has some farmers blood I do believe. A great job buddy.
Ive watched fathering autism from day 1. We have had chickens and turkeys and what i would say is you need to put board on the back and side because they need it to be weather resistant. It would be horribke when wind is going through. Also that middle section of the floor needs flooring. Then if you put some perches in there. In the summer be prepared to put a dark coloured sheet on the roof so they have shade, then also in the winter we have put quilts on the top to help insulate the coop so they dont get cold. I live in the UK but this all does still apply in florida too
I think you schould enclose the bottom & give them a lower level, then they'll have shade on the bottom. They'll be cooking with no shade in the summer.. Also there's alot of birds in there, give them more space!
Agreed. Especially if there's male and female, they need space to move away, the males can terrorise them. Regarding the roof, even if it's shady it's still not appropriate roofing, also with the heavy rainy they get in Florida it will be so loud, it will stress them out. However, it's definitely better than what they had.
will the quails have some kind of lightly abrasive surface that they can walk around on, to keep their tiny claws short? won't the transparent roof sizzle the birds or is there no direct sun there? i feel i can ask questions so you can teach me. i learn about autism and now quail keeping!
@@moremaass You're very welcome Asa.. I've watched y'all long enough to know you've done your research lol They WILL be fine with a clear roof........🤣 Damn calm down people I assure you that he will do what's best lol 🤷♀️
The Quail mansion looking good Asa. Have no idea on keeping any type of bird, sure you will have plenty of tips in comments. When your mom and step-dad come maybe they can give you some advice and tips too. One question is bird waste added to your composter good for growing veggies ? Blessings.
Asa You are Soo Creative! I Love it, You did a Great Job👍Its much Bigger than the other one, They seem to Love it😀I was just saying You didn"t Post up today, then I saw this Video. Yaay🙌I got to see you
Will they have more space soon? That’s a very small cage for that many birds. :( Can’t imagine being a bird stuck in a small cage forever……please build them a running area.
Im thinking peel and stick tiles or a roll of vinyl (?) Flooring. Makes for easy clean up. You probably finished by now but just my thought process. I pauded the video so you may have done this already lol😂
This is awesome. I had chickens and the hens also have a pecking order. They will beat up on each other too. It may not be the males doing it, it may be the stronger girls pecking at them too. Hope this helps.
Also when you want the boys to fertilize add a girl or few over there in the boys coop so you know which eggs are fertilized unless you want to do them all or guess. So much more info but Ill leave it at this for now. Its so much fun.
Why don't your record over night or something to find out which make has the behavioral issues. I mean you do have alot of camera ans I'm sure everyone has a record button
love the job you did, but i wouldnt put bird pee and crap into the compost bc if you are going to use that to garden with like some people do that wouldn't be to healthy, something about bird pee and crap just isn't good for you to have in your veggies and fruits, if its just flowers and plants that fine
Fun fact, birds don’t actually pee. It all comes out at the same time. Quail poop is high in nitrogen so it’s a very hot item to put in the compost. It’s perfectly fine though if it’s in the compost long enough. Rabbit poop is the best though. It can go straight into the garden soil.
I think you need to move soon, because your Backyard is only that big. We had the same Problem, so we moved, and now we have 5 Acres, my Husband has a Tractor, and I have Chickens, and we are all happy. And he builds things non stop!
He can't just let them be free.. Quail will most definitely fly away... Also says while cleaning their cages to be careful they don't get out... Also that area doesn't get a lot of sun as he specified before
Free range birds are not permitted and quail fly. 12 birds in a space big enough to house 16. The trees above and on the Northside of a 2 story house is considerable shade. That's why I chose the clear roof...so they would get enough light.
That is quite the upgrade!! It turned out great. You definitely seem like one of those people who are the happiest when they have a project on the go. I am glad you have found something to keep you busy (like you don't have enough to do lol).
Busy is all fine and good but doing projects and having hobbies feeds my soul.
I have loved watching this process. I know your mom is smiing watching this
Asa, you did a wonderful job! Love it, and love your quail.😊
Asa, is there wire on the side where you put the blueish floor tiles? If not, you need to put some there too. A raccoon can tear through that with ease. You can see a little gap in between one of the tiles. You would be amazed what a raccoon can get through.
The water flowing in the background is so soothing.
Nice job Asa, I'm sure the quail love their new digs.
Asa nice job on the new Quail coop! 😊
I love the tile addition!!
I never realized raising quails was a thing. Thought they were just birds and not birds that humans benefit from. I know people who eat their eggs. I’ve seen them in the store and they are tiny. You have to do a video on how to crack them. 😊
You might want to add mesh to the side with the vinyl and add something around the gaps at the top to make sure snakes aren't getting in.
You are a homesteader now! WOW.
When I was a kid my brother had homing pigeons, I can't remember who helped him build his coupe Since our dad was killed. It was amazing to go sit and hear them coo. Also learning about how they learned to fly home from miles.
how many pigeons?
Love the clear roof perfect as that side of the house is so shaded.

Maybe a hot tub and a juice bar? Lol
The girls are likely to pick on each other as the boys are to pick on the girls. If one of your hens is a bit smaller or not quite physically correct, the rest of the flock will drive at them and pick at them. I love your new coop Asa. I so relate to your desire to grow things and make things and all of that. Everyone from the south has some farmers blood I do believe. A great job buddy.
Thank you! The hen that got it the worst is healing well. Hopefully it's resolved
That turned out Amazing 🤩 and they Love it 😍
Good job Asa. I can see how much joy this has brought you 😊
Great job Asa looks wonderful
Dont forget roosting bars! Keeps their feet healthy!
I like putting tree branches I trim in there. They like to hide under them and perch on them like they would in the wild.
Tree branches is excellent! That's a great use!
You could divide the girls between the 2 Roos. Each set has their own cage and flock. 😊
If you glue down scrap laminate flooring, it will make cleaning much easier.
Awesome job Asa!! I am rewatching the video where you built the composter!! I need to make one.
I’ve always heard that the mating process in birds can be brutal. It may just be what it is.
You need to give the Quail some shade. I am worried that with the clear roof it will get to hot for them in the Florida heat.
There's hardly any sun in that part of the yard. That's why I chose the clear roof

They have more space than they did in the other coupe
If they have racoons you don't want them down lower
Agree
Agreed. Especially if there's male and female, they need space to move away, the males can terrorise them. Regarding the roof, even if it's shady it's still not appropriate roofing, also with the heavy rainy they get in Florida it will be so loud, it will stress them out. However, it's definitely better than what they had.
Stress them out?? Definitely better than a metal roof.. I think it will work perfectly
Brilliant ideas!!
Omg! I've followed you guys for so long and was so shocked when I typed in how to build a quail coop and this popped up! Hi! ❤️ 💙 💜
Excellent job! That is incredible.I love it!❤
will the quails have some kind of lightly abrasive surface that they can walk around on, to keep their tiny claws short? won't the transparent roof sizzle the birds or is there no direct sun there? i feel i can ask questions so you can teach me. i learn about autism and now quail keeping!
Well done man!! Really turned out great...
Thank you very much!

Nice job Asa, looks great!
would put more flooring on the other side of house so they have more shelter from rain and i would get another nesting house, great job
Nice job maybe you can raise the feeder and make a platform for them to stand on while eating
What will you do if there is a hurricane. Have you got emergency coup in your garage ? Maybe it’s something to think about..👍
I have the cage they were transported in when they were picked up.
Do they have shade for when sun is hot
@@janetsanders9253 They are in full shade from what Ace was saying. 👍❤️👍
@@janetsanders9253I put the coop there with the clear roof because that part of the yard doesn't get much sun.
looks great but will they get hot if the sun shines through the roof
That's why I went with the clear roof, that area doesn't get very much sunshine
🌸 I have no bird raising experience, but my first thought seeing that clear roof was the heat, heat, heat. But I don't know. 💙💙💙
Asa You are Soo Creative! I Love it, You did a Great Job👍Its much Bigger than the other one, They seem to Love it😀I was just saying You didn"t Post up today, then I saw this Video. Yaay🙌I got to see you
That wood chipping falling through the wire is going to drive you nuts, it will blow everywhere.
Will they have more space soon? That’s a very small cage for that many birds.
:( Can’t imagine being a bird stuck in a small cage forever……please build them a running area.
That's not required for them though hun..They are just fine
It's actually pretty big for that many birds
Asa it looks awesome!! Great job!
Thank you
Could you move the coop to the garage in hurricane or monsoon season, I'm scared for them
I’ve been waiting on this one! Excited to watch!
perfect!
It looks great
What about the sandbox? Are you going to move it over to the new cage?
Don’t they need some bars or dowels so they can get up off the floor?
I add branches from trees I trim
Very nice
How do you cut the plastic roof without cracking it?
Hello beautiful Maass family ❤️ 😘
Im thinking peel and stick tiles or a roll of vinyl (?) Flooring. Makes for easy clean up. You probably finished by now but just my thought process. I pauded the video so you may have done this already lol😂
With the clear roof how will they stay cool in the summer heat & having no shade 4 them??
The area they are in is nearly full shade. That's why I went with the clear roof so they could get more light in there.
This is awesome. I had chickens and the hens also have a pecking order. They will beat up on each other too. It may not be the males doing it, it may be the stronger girls pecking at them too. Hope this helps.
Also when you want the boys to fertilize add a girl or few over there in the boys coop so you know which eggs are fertilized unless you want to do them all or guess. So much more info but Ill leave it at this for now. Its so much fun.
The coop the boys are in is going to come in handy so much for breeding and if one gets sick.
Awesome
Looks awesome. Asa....
Good job Assa
Thanks!
Love it!❤❤
Great job! It looks amazing 🎉 unfortunately part of the mating process involves losing some feathers. Birds are very aggressive when mating 😢❤
They need some shade too. Sun does get hot
That whole part of the yard is shaded most of the day
Will they need shade and insulation from the heat that the clear roof won’t provide?
It's in a shaded area
Is there chicken wire behind the floor tile side ? A predator like a racoon could get through there if not :/
Why don't your record over night or something to find out which make has the behavioral issues. I mean you do have alot of camera ans I'm sure everyone has a record button
Asa, there new "digs"turned out great!! Nice job.
Yeah am first I love watching your family ❤❤❤❤
I’m concerned that they don’t have shade in the Florida sun and heat. Otherwise it looks good!
That area is shaded nearly all day in the summer
Maybe put a camera out there to see who the culprit is.
Yeah, I could do that.
That's a good idea lol I was thinking of ways also
Hi your so good here 💋 really creative love u
Hello nice coop an yes to many males per the amount to females. ❤
Nice
I'd probably add a 4 of females to the males and have the rabbit hutch as a mating pen so not all the girls eggs get fertile
❤❤❤
1 to every 10 , actually
love the job you did, but i wouldnt put bird pee and crap into the compost bc if you are going to use that to garden with like some people do that wouldn't be to healthy, something about bird pee and crap just isn't good for you to have in your veggies and fruits, if its just flowers and plants that fine

Big farmers use chicken poop to fertilize entire fields lol
shouldn't you keep the boys away from the girls anyway or you risk the chance of eating fertilized eggs?
Ohio❤❤❤
A lot of people separate do 1 male with 4/6 females. To help the females from the males doing this.
Hello
You should only have no more than 2 males.
That's how many I have is two
Do you eat quail ugh
They said the meat is very healthy and taste better than chicken
I think you need to move soon, because your Backyard is only that big. We had the same Problem, so we moved, and now we have 5 Acres, my Husband has a Tractor, and I have Chickens, and we are all happy. And he builds things non stop!
They’re not going to move lol
Promo`SM 😜
So no free range 12 birds in a tiny space with no shade. Baked chicken anyone
He can't just let them be free.. Quail will most definitely fly away... Also says while cleaning their cages to be careful they don't get out... Also that area doesn't get a lot of sun as he specified before
Free range birds are not permitted and quail fly. 12 birds in a space big enough to house 16. The trees above and on the Northside of a 2 story house is considerable shade. That's why I chose the clear roof...so they would get enough light.
Gotcha@@moremaass
