Sounds good

If I do a greenhouse or something similar I'd raise cats to live with the chickens

I like to reiterate, to newer people stumbling upon your video, when you talk of the Quail being in "confined" areas; I've tried all sorts of different habitats and setups for a large variety of quail. I can tell you with almost certain fact that, unless you have a significant amount of open, unused space to make a huge yard-sized aviary (and even then they wont use all of it), they behave better and seem far less stressed when they are closer to the "crammed in like sardines" side of the sliding scale. For reference, a lot of people seem to confirm that Quail will absolutely not lay eggs if they are stressed to any significant degree, as compared to chickens who will "Lay in the middle of the apocalypse". If your Quail are laying, there's a good chance that they're fine, even if we're trying to impact upon them our own conceptions of what "fine" is in this creature's life; most likely "fine" to them is not being eaten or dying of starvation or thirst. Which they will not do with their unlimited supply of food, water and safety in their enclosures. I do advocate for giving them dust baths though; they will spend hours grinding into it and flipping it all over the place. It's a social activity for them, and of all the toys and recreational activities I tried giving them, it's the only form of "fun" they really partake in, and will be as happy as a fat, meaty little peach if you give them some fresh, warm sand every day, regardless of their cage size. The downside being that if you do what I do (which is grab the fine powdery dirt in abundance all around your property) that stuff gets _everywhere._ SO if you're inside, it's a lot harder to deal with. Most people, like Slightly Rednecked, use construction sand, which is heavier and does not spread as much fine particulate everywhere. Hidey places are also good if possible, but mostly just make sure they dont feel like they're out in the middle of a clearing, completely exposed and vulnerable, and that tends to be good enough.

Здравствуйте где можно купить это чудо

Thank you so much for this review it was great

are there any remote goose doors?

Tip for when there hatched put rocks around the watering bottle to stops them from drowning I learnt the hard way 🥲 quail to me are chickens on steroids cracking little birds they give so much back ❤🇬🇧

Where did you get your hoop house? I'm considering building a DIY 20x40 with the kit off boot strap farmer, but it'll be my first hoop house so I'm worried about the quality. I'm in Eastern Michigan

Took me forever to find this video! I have 17 acres of lumpy old farm field. Making a motocross track. Just picked uo 8n and cultivator

Is the water to high?

Would it be a bad idea to keep them outside in this cage?

Excellent tip on the trays! Thank you!

Great coop, I would make a drop down nest entry instead of the lift up so as not to scare the girls. But all in all it’s great!

I’m looking to mover winter chickens in our greenhouse! North Dakota winters are rough! Thinking of double layering with the back end bubble insulation for cold nights…. They are winter hardy! I’m lining the outside with wire mesh and tin or plywood the first 2-4 feet. Plywood front and back with door

The “Hatching Time” Cage system is amazing. Love it. However, we open up an entire row (open the 3 sections into 1 big section) and put 1 roo in with 7 hens (we were at 5 hens per row, but the girls were getting worn and bedraggled). Now, with 7 to 1 (on each row) they have lots of roaming-around room and seem happy... non-stressed... and my girls are keeping up their good looks! :D

I also use a 2x4 grow tent to keep my chickens and duck chicks and quail chicks in. works amazing !

Nicely done.

Where can I buy those cage ,thanks .

From where I can buy this cage

Good info, thanks

The giant silver automobile fluid pans are even bigger and fit under those cages perfectlt. Goes even farther toward front and back of cages catching over flow. I put woodchipa in mine and prevents smell. I change once a week. I do this inside a spare bedroom.

How many birds can you fit in that setup?

I forgot to add that I want to get 5 chickens this summer and we’re looking into coop designs for my husband to build. (He’s not as on board for this new adventure so your video will encourage him, I think :)

I just found your channel. We’re also in MN (northwest suburb of St Paul). We only have 3/4 acre on a 12 acre pond so I feel like we have more space than we actually do 😊. Good luck with your channel and I’ll keep checking in and sharing your videos.

Where did you get your set up?

Good summary. Thanks

Love your chicken house and run.

We raise pigs for the first time last year. Where we live now, we raised our pigs on concrete. I butcher all of the animals we eat these days. To stop rooting you should use hog rings. They were worth it. We started with 5.

we've had quail for five years now. they are in my opinion one of the easiest, low cost farm animal. fast hatching and growing as apposed to chickens. their poo is an amazing fertiliser!.. we raise on the ground and harvest eggs and meat and also sell chicks to pay for their feed. they are very friendly and fun! thanks for the video!..

Inspired!

Nice video!!

That’s pretty accurate. Can’t wait to add tending the garden to the mix 😊

A real homesteader has his coffee at 5:00am! 7:30am is already time for lunch.

If you live in a cold climate, buy cold hardy chickens and any coop will work. I should know we had chicken in weather that got as cold as -40°F. Our chickens didn't care for the coop when they were allowed in the run, out in the weather. Lots of nights they slept inside the run. No heat is needed in the coop. Power in the coop leads to fires. By the way I lived in Minnesota too.

Thank you. Thinking of having chickens for the first time this 2023. I subscribed.

Thanks, I was just thinking about this exact thing!

I met a chicken farmer who used an old trailer trailer for a chicken coop. He took out the non essentials and make nesting boxes with the cabinet wood and the town didn’t tax him since it was on wheels which he moved around the chicken yard.

What a nice young man... with a great set up and presentation.

Enjoyed the video. I also use the plastic wrap around my run. What is the name of the electtic system that turns on at 32 degrees? Does Hone Depot have it? Thank you very much. Also, what do you feed your chickens in the winter?

Nice coop. I live in MN also and this will be my first winter with my flock. I to wonder about weasels. Idk about trying to weasel proof everything to that standard. Sounds to expensive. I try for the common threats like dogs, coons, skunks, foxes. The bears would be a problem if they wanted to be. Our dogs and motion lights will hopefully be enough to frighten them away ! Nice job on the coop and we seem to have come to the same conclusions and similar fixes to some common problems we face.

You deserve way more subscribers! I shared your video!

That was a awesome video! That’s a very well built chicken house & your chickens have it made! 😊👍

All is see, indicates you must be a military veteran.

78yr old retired in White Bird, Idaho. Man, do you have some beautiful land. I live on a rocky canyon above the Salmonriver.

Do you run a cord from the house to the coop, or do you have a solar panel system? Thanks.

Thanks! Liked and subscribed...good info!

Hey I am going to make a comment here but you might already know what I am going to say so just ignore it if you already know. Your 6 volt battery will evaporate water as you use it so every spring I add Battery Water to the proper level. It is very important to buy battery water any other water will destroy the battery because the impurities and after you add water put it on a trickle charge for a while so it mixes the water with the acid. Be careful not to over fill if you happen to over fill clean it up with baking soda so your battery box doesn’t get eaten I use an antifreeze tester and it is less messy . I hope this helps and if it’s something you already know well just forgive me! Carry on and keep that old iron running!

Those 8Ns really shine when you have a large selection of implements to work with and I really envy you it looks like you have a lot of beautiful land to work on good for you keep that old iron running and carry on!

That's some tasty chicken!

Hi dear, nice upload video... Appreciate you sharing how to cook. ^^
