Quail Hutches: what you need to know!

[@GeorgeMBurr]

Yes I wanted to do this this year and your not far away. Thank you for your service

[@thedinosauromelette]

Hi George! Thanks for the comment and please see the description of this video- I have a link to the how-to pdf on raising quail (very easy, straight forward guide) that we made for people newer to raising quail. Feel free to reach out to us here or on our Facebook page. Thanks again!

Hey thanks Walking Gamer! I love my old 8-bit and 16-bit classics (I’m old🤷‍♂️) But wife and I are huge BOARD GAME nerds! How our stuff here is useful and we do weekly Live class/q&a sessions if you’re ever doom scrolling and need some thing else!😂

Hi, what size of hardware cloth are you using I using ½ × ½ but no good all the poop (dropping) don't fall down. I am looking for something don't hurt the birds lag?

[@thedinosauromelette]

We use 1/2 x 1/2 inch. No problems with poop! Smaller wire would get clogged, for sure. If their legs are being injured look for obstacles or wire burrs (rough wire). Has never been an issue

[@MissingLinkMTB]

wouldn't you want to enclose the sandbox side of the hutch for winter months?

[@thedinosauromelette]

@@MissingLinkMTB due to their higher body temps and respiration there should be substantial ventilation even in winter! We covered the roof of one hutch one very cold winter for a day and the interior became completely saturated with water vapor and became very wet! So sides and bottom are covered but the roof/ceiling of the hutch has hardwire cloth to allow that ventilation! Thanks for the question!

[@MissingLinkMTB]

@@thedinosauromelette Thanks for responding!!! I'm building mine this coming week and I'll leave the roof off.

[@thedinosauromelette]

@@MissingLinkMTB I’m sorry - you need a roof to protect from rain/sun/snow. I was referring to the individual hutch that will house the quail. I leave the entire top side ventilated (essentially uncovered ) by covering the top in hardware cloth . The hutch with the hardware cloth is attached to supports/legs that will absolutely have a roof. Sorry if what I said earlier I as confusing.

Is there any way I can purchase some jumbo quail from you? I can pick them up if you're in Lancaster California

[@thedinosauromelette]

Hehe…we’re in Lancaster….Pennsylvania! Sorry! But I hope that some of our info is helpful. We have a bunch of easy to understand/read resources we wrote (free) in the links in the descriptions of many of these videos. Sorry again!

[@fabriziom2661]

Is it possible to ship?

[@thedinosauromelette]

@@fabriziom2661 hi Fabrizio- we do not ship. We don’t want to have any of our birds injured, sickened or stressed via shipping. So we focus on our location for local pick up. Particularly with these jumbo quail- they grow so quickly that a couple days in transport if stressful may well impact growth.

[@fabriziom2661]

Understood! Thank you for getting back to me, greetings from the West Coast and all the best!

[@seedweedreap]

Love the aesthetic...any chance you would release plans?

[@thedinosauromelette]

Thanks! I’m sure I will do a simple how-to with plans. I made a bunch of hutches but used plans from my brain😂 But could get them written down.

[@seedweedreap]

@@thedinosauromeletteId really appreciate it. We have a tool library in my city, and I think I can scavenge pallet wood. I'd love to try but it has to be pretty 'cause I live on a corner lot...no place to hide.

[@thedinosauromelette]

@@seedweedreap ooooh. I have an old Timelapse video from a coup years ago I’ll put here of me deconstructing a pallet and building a coop.

[@thedinosauromelette]

heyyy... I just uploaded a video i made from a couple years back. Its a chicken coop build (speedy time lapse) Will eventually get Quail Hutch plans up@@seedweedreap

[@seedweedreap]

@@thedinosauromelette Thanks!! It looks soo good. I love how you put wood on both sides of the wire mesh so no one is in danger of getting scratched, that was a concern. Can't wait for the quail one! Any dimensions you can give on the quail version would be super helpful. I've been daydreaming about mine all day. These lil stinkers need to get out ma house! 😆

Ove the name of the channel 😃👍 Best regards Smith

[@thedinosauromelette]

Hehe Than you! That was my wife’s (Angela) silly name idea. Thanks for joining us here. Please have a wonderful day!

[@jermainewalker1738]

Can u make me one and send it .

[@thedinosauromelette]

@@jermainewalker1738 hi Jermaine- thanks for the question but unfortunately I am not able to do that. I simply just don’t have time right now to build hutches. But please don’t be intimidated to try to build one yourself if you have time. They’re quite simple. Really just constructing a box with a wire around it. Thanks Again
