How to build a Stacked Quail Cage - with Egg rollout trays.

[@lindsaynorman9323]

love the tip on the orientation of the wires on the floor to help egg rolling. its a small thing i didn't think of but makes complete sense. thanks so much we are going to build some of these very soon. my hubby is price checking today so we can get materials Yay more Quail!!!

[@kenlowder6932]

That orientation of the wire was an excellent tip.

[@CoturnixCorner]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bartendersunny1]

I just want to say thanks for this video series. Idk how much extra time you have but this was very valuable. I just started up and spent the last few hours building most of this cage. I really appreciate this. Thank you for making these videos.

[@jeffbostic6660]

I am seriously considering quail.. thanks for the videos.

[@bayoutrapper]

Best cages I've saw. The build was very well explained, and fun to build, even with just a hand saw. Works great as designed. Thank you for sharing. God bless.

[@Josrofer]

Man Terry I asked you about this a couple of weeks ago and was so pleasantly surprised that you already did one on roll out cages.and that tip about the correct way to place the wire . Thanks a million you're awesome!!!!

[@CoturnixCorner]

Thanks and your welcome!

This is glorious, been searching for "quail enclosure" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (do a google search ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my neighbour got great success with it.

[@twspma3549]

You are so helpful and kind as you communicate. Thank you for your efforts.

[@whitneysperrazza9475]

Anyone that gives this a thumbs down is nuts! Your videos are amazing and I love the step by step so even the laymen can do it! Now I have to choose between poop control or eggs rolling out.

[@RehoKevin]

Another great video Terri, love your attention to detail and pro tips like attaching the wire in the proper configuration so the eggs roll easier. Thank for sharing your experience. You rock !

[@CoturnixCorner]

Thanks! Appreciate the comments.

[@sovereigns1grace]

I'm currently building my cage & I made this very same modification! The measurement is slightly different from font to back (only 27") but appears to be sufficient. How cool is that ... This vid appeared in my feed same day I made the floors! ❤

[@petarpetrovic8475]

This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "diy breeder quail" for a while now, and I think this has helped.

[@briantorsell]

What a great tip about the wire orientation, thanks!

[@jloredo08]

Appreciate you making this videos sir. The cage building is my concern, I'd really like to have the eggs roll out seeing that quail are not like chickens and just leave eggs wherever they may. Our chickens even lay the green eggs in their own box! We have very knit picky birds lol.

[@MorninTripper]

Thanks for the informative videos Terry.

I'd love to keep quail so bad but I can't yet, saving these videos for later😭

[@birdsongvalley]

This was really great!

[@garballs1443]

FYI for those new to quail raising, like me. Coturnix up to 3 to 4 weeks of age can crawl under the gap. Keep a 2x4 in the gaps until they are larger, they need it for the waterers anyway. It didn't look like they could fit, but they did.

[@stanleycarmichael7425]

Yes so true,I had two birds escape this way. It was very comical at the time as I didn't know how they were getting out. I kept putting them back in the cage,and a few minutes later the two males were strutting around,then I finally seen where they were getting out, which was the egg tray. I just blocked the tray off,for a few weeks. It was quite funny 😂 and made me laugh.

[@garballs1443]

@@stanleycarmichael7425 Lol. Glad your experience was better than mine. I had about 6 escape. Ended up finding them all, but the dog got ahold of one and he didn't survive 24hrs. I was REALLY close to finding the last one with my mower. Luckily he jumped instead of ducked.

My birds are a year old and still can crawl under, lol!

Question. Why does the flooring have the center floor beam in the top of the flooring? The birds have to walk over it...

[@asappehacresheritagehomest546]

Did the egg rollout adjustment affect the clearance for the poop tray?

[@SteveChastain]

WOW....I sure Need Some Help Please......I built the stacking cages as you showed in the flat bottom cage...but...I added this roll-out flooring to each cage. *My concern is the large opening at the bottom front where the eggs roll under the door....what keeps the birds from crawling out under the door and the area to the right of the door?* Should I add a 1x2 to fill that space until the birds get bigger? Or am I doing something wrong in my build? Thanks so much for all your help.....the videos you create are so helpful. Thanks

[@marcusnguyen3185]

What is the max high at tip of quail feeder? I dont have any quail yet so wondering as my feeder high is 4.75 inches. Wondering if it too high and need to lower it.

[@CoturnixCorner]

about 4" to the top of the feed trough is perfect.

[@marcusnguyen3185]

@@CoturnixCorner Thank you sir. Been learning alot from all your videos. If I can not lower it, will 4.75 still works for adult quails. Because of the egg roll slope I would need to cut into the crossing wood frame.

[@CoturnixCorner]

@@marcusnguyen3185 Yes it should be fine. If the birds can't reach you can always place a board below the feeder for them to stand on.

[@ericjennings5041]

Thank you

[@LiquorandCheeseburgers]

So there's still room under the roll out framing for the clean out trays, correct? And these are great videos!

[@PutzinPottery]

Does the angle on the floor bother the quail's feet at all? Do they feel like they are slipping down all the time? I would love to know your thoughts on that

[@KathleenEnahoro-rv9ot]

Where do I go to get written instructions and how much angle do you put on an egg roll out

[@jamiea8009]

How do the quail do being on an incline 24/7? Maybe I'm over thinking it 😂 but I wonder if it's hard on them.

[@texfarm1968]

Can you give a price comparison between building your own and buying the comfortplast cage system.

[@دكتوركلاش-س1غ]

Good😍

[@mikezaloudek4893]

Do they need a particular area with bedding or anything else for laying? I wonder if instead of putting the entire living area on an angle, if there is a way to encourage them to lay in one area and angle that area or make it so you can lower it to collect the eggs and then raise it back level again.

Where do you get the clean out trays?

[@Seaspray127]

I like your cages and your feeder and water ideas.. Ihave to say, this one is too much like a battery hen cage for me. Wouldn't the quail use nestboxes?

[@mailman22]

can these be used as grow out cages with egg roll out trays?

[@jeremywehrly4969]

Great Video! I plan on building this when I return from overseas. Would it be worthwhile to add a cover to the egg rollout to prevent eggs from getting taken?

[@gabrielarce6525]

Where did you buy the wire bottom?

[@jerryirle1]

Do the droppings fall from the top into the bottom unhindered?

[@alisacross9250]

What is ur reasons for putting ur roll out floors upside down

[@QuantumErv]

Great video and explanation sir! You have lots of experience with building these I see. I responded to a craigslist ad that's in San Jose area. Wondering if this is you. I purchased a 48 egg incubator on Amazon. I'm looking to start raising quail. Thank you for the wonderful video.

[@catherineramierez1773]

Do you have plans for the bigger cage?

[@Dinoskyriakou]

Hello Terry! Thank you for the amazing detailed plans and execution. It is just something I can not understand on both videos this and the standard one. You are using 1 x 2 for the floors, but in this case you say 27.5 inches and when they go in between the rails it will give a total of 29 inches. It shouldn't be 27 + (2 x 1) = 29 inches ? It is not a big issue on this as it will be just 0.5 inch longer but on the standard one it will be out by half inch unless I am getting something wrong, can you please clarify ?

[@crystalkirk3816]

I’m getting ready to build this egg roll out version. I’ve done so much research and this is my favorite build. I got all the materials wrote down, but how many 2x2s to I need to purchase? And also was you able to make a video on how to build the watering system?

[@tonyspicer6745]

👍

[@dawnb7972]

I recently learned that there are a larger type of Coturnix quail. Was the size of a cage be well suited for them? Does anyone know?

[@stonefacestoic]

Can egg roll out cage be good for breeding quail too?

[@scottnewby8212]

now do you change the water cup height?

[@CoturnixCorner]

I did not, the layers are tall enough to reach the cups. Good question Scott, thanks for commenting!

[@charliebruns4059]

Does it concern you that the gap created by the rollout may invite or make it easier for a predator? Perhaps I might be able to put a small shelf or something to cover the extended portion of the rollout. Thanks in Advance for your opinion.

[@CoturnixCorner]

My cages are indoors in a predator proof building. For those who keep the cages outdoors I recommend attaching a hinged plywood door over the egg tray to keep predators out. I've seen several people incorporate this into their outdoor setups.

[@mikemccleery7253]

Coturnix Corner thanks for the cover suggestion just getting to the roll out trays on my build I’ll send a picture of my cover when they are done. Not sure how I’ll do waterer since cage will need a roof to keep water out.

For building the 74 inch width cage with egg rolling system, do we need the double materials as stated in the video ? Only major difference is that we save 4 legs right ?

[@CoturnixCorner]

Actually you only need to replace the 37" pieces with 74" pieces, all other measurements stay the same.

Hello Terry! I currently have single cages that are raised 60", wire bottom drop through. Trying to be more efficient on space and add another layer. Therefore I'll need some poop trays.

After watching this video, I see why your doors open up instead of down. They could just as easily swing to the side, couldn't they? I have no idea why I'm hung up on the doors. (No pun intended!) This was a great modification. Mine will be outside, at least through fall, so I don't think I want the rolling egg shelf. I'd be afraid of snakes getting in through that opening. I'm from MA (Cape Cod), but now live in mid-Missouri. We have a lot of snakes here.

[@CoturnixCorner]

LOL ... love the pun. Yes, the egg roll outs played a roll in the door hinge placement. Also, I'm kinda short and have a hard time reaching in the cages so opening upwards seemed like the best option. Thanks for your comments.

[@StephenMeyer58]

The angle seems like it could cause discomfort for the birds? Otherwise looks like an easy modification. Great video

They get used to it, I've never had any leg issues with the amount of angle in the rollout cages.
