Raising Quail Outdoors. Happy Birds Make Happy Homesteaders!

[@Linda-zi1ds]

I love that you don't just take care of basic needs for your livestock but that you go above and beyond to give them comfortable enjoyable lives! Keep up the good work!

[@huchgirl84]

I agree

[@HJBL1964]

Shame about the ones who lived out their days on horrible wire floors 🙁

[@tillanieabayasekara9681]

We thought of telling you both that it will be a good idea to put a net on the inside of the ccop so when you open the door the quails will not fly out as they are birds they are very quick to fly off and they don't come back. We are from Srilanka and love your videos and have been big fans of you both for the last 4years all the best from all of us God bless ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@juliericheson222]

And now you need a Quail-cam.... so we can just sit and watch them ALL day!

[@HMInavydoc]

What a GREAT JOB you both do...taking care of the animals you have...! You both ALWAYS try to do the very best for your animals and gardens you care for...! God Bless You Both...! 👍❤👍

[@livingintoday06]

I tell ya what; when I am able to create a space for a group of animals that allows them to do more of what God intended I feel so happy. I feel joyful that God has given me the animals and has given me the space, brains, patients, and time to create those spaces. Peace and Love Neighbors❤

[@blissfulmomentsfarm3730]

Just want you guys to know how very helpful it is for me to see you build this from start to finish! It makes me feel less overwhelmed about having to build one myself. Thank you!

[@cherrydowns7745]

Having had experiences with wily racoons If it were my door I would also put a lock on the bottom so a raccoon could not pull the door open at the bottom! I see a bunch of happy little birds!

[@tinamitchell3764]

That looks like such a nice setup for them. They seem happy, running around, exploring, they're able to scratch in the wood shavings and some were interested in looking outside. So much better than being on wire, I'm sure. It's good to see people who Really care about giving their animals a good life, even if they are a food source. I hope it works out the way you want. ❤❤

[@kateforsell0618]

I used sand in the bottom of our outdoor aviary. They spent all day dust bathing in it, and scratching around, so it stayed extremely clean, and they never seemed to bury any of their eggs. I just used a modified rake as a large kitty scooper 3-4 times a year to sift out the waste chunks, and refreshed the sand as needed. Stayed perfectly clean, dry, and no smell!

[@gelwood99]

I have sand in my stationary coop and wood chips in their run and there is no order at all. I was told that once a year it would require cleaning out and new sand but that hasn't been the case at all. They keep it stirred up and the sand dedicated their poop so much that after 4 years there has been no need for me to do anything else. I would never have any other bedding than sand in any coop holding poultry!

[@barbscott4341]

Happy birds. That was a great idea. Pray it works for them.

[@dayneholt4149]

Kevin I think you enjoy quail as much as Sarah enjoys the silky chickens. Whether it lasts long term or not you got to give it a go. Be well, Blessings 😊

[@cbass2755]

Well..lookie their...they all seem very content! Great job as usual..👍

[@pollyturner47]

What a great home for the quail!! Like a five- star resort !

[@jltest5230]

You take such good care of your animals.

[@Vicariously_gifted]

Ash from a wood stove over the leaves wil get rid of the bugs

[@LarryCrumpton]

Hi Kevin and Sarah. I have been watching your videos on you tube for some time and I want you both to know that I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I just today subscribed to your channel , I think that a couple like you that is not ashamed to let others know that you are a Christian deserves all the support I can. I also love the shirts that you wear,Sarah. You know the ones that have Bible verses on them.God bless you both and blessings to your channel. You will never know how much of an impact you have on others.

[@misty4782]

TIP: I've seen reviews, from bird owners, that installing linoleum on the floor, then whatever absorbing material on top, makes cleaning so much easier. Just thought I'd pass this along. God bless. 🥰🥰

[@lesleydickson7746]

Very please to see your quail getting a better quality of life. I’ve always felt sorry for them in their cages. I hope the new hoop coop is a big success.

[@conniegage2141]

Quail are so cute. like having baby chicks all the time. They looked really happy to me .

[@Bennettfarm]

Love the quail pen! When I had quail they really loved a shoe bin with sand in it for dusting in. Like what you have with hay. A fun thing to add as well is some tree branches for them to play and hide in.

[@kayelowe4333]

They look like very happy quail to me too!! Love Waddlesville!!! God bless!

[@carolynchatham6376]

Looks like a great environment for the quails.

[@tammyshepherd1152]

Wow! What a good job you did. They r very happy to be in their.❤

[@ethelenehill2818]

Seeing those quail free like that is so beautiful!!!

[@etakjam1536]

Those look like happy quail! The only thing I would have added to your awesome coop is a layer of cheap linoleum floor on top of the wood to make it easier to clean out and protect the floor. I hope this method of keeping quail works out-- that's a set up I would love to build for my (future) quail. Thanks for sharing how you built it!

[@Coptergirljs]

They are so cute; I love to hear the males crow! Nice job on the coop as usual.

[@Kellyclass]

SUGGESTION: I have seen others put down laminent flooring so it's easy to clean the base out. Just a thought. Cheers!

[@cheryllamb8831]

What a beautiful sight! The quail definitely look happy with their new digs. You care for all your animals with great respect for their safety and quality of life. Thank you Kevin & Sarah for sharing & being responsible caretakers. Blessings

[@terifrank7393]

Well done on the new quail house! So darn cute! I wouldn't be able to process but so admire this video!! Nice job!!!

[@cbass2755]

I couldn't process either, but I could cook them up for sure..Lol...

[@maryvanulzen3414]

I think they love their new environment. Just look at them looking out into the world.

[@juliaarmato3984]

Really nice job! I hope it works out well. The quail sure look like they are very happy! God bless 🥰

[@junewrogg6137]

You guys are such good bird mamas and daddies!!!! They look so happy. All your birds look happy!

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

Great setup! Quail were my pandemic project. I raised them outside on shavings with sand bowls and some twig hideout tunnels. Most of mine laid their eggs in the hideouts. You are right they LOVE hay! I would greet them with a handful of mealworms every day. It was the way to their hearts. In the fall I would throw in any crickets I could catch. I also grew pea shoots for them giving their yolks a rich orange color.

[@marycountry]

Wow such care you put into taking care of your animals. Beautiful!

[@margaretbedwell3211]

What a nice looking home you have built for the quail, Kevin. They look happy and are loving the little hidey tents you made for them. Thanks for sharing. I hope this is just the perfect palace for them. Have a Blessed day.

[@amandabottoms1]

pro tip- change out the tarps for greenhouse plastic over the winter. 10/10 would recommend. We didn't have any winter lull in egg production last year, but they stop laying in the heat and humidity of summer, so they are still getting a break.

[@rosaking8488]

What a beautiful home you’ve made for your quail. I do believe they are loving it! I love the passion y’all put into Waddlesville for all of your feathered friends! Great video! ❤️

[@ladydragon3648]

I love getting to see the birds in there new home. It looks like they do love it to. I hope you make 1 more pen like that. So you can get all the other birds out there to.

[@dorothyallen3614]

Very nice structure and the necessities for feeding and watering the quail, even sturdy hiding places, nesting boxes and straw for nesting. They seem to love the area, I hope this works out for the quail and that you can enjoy them even more in Waddlesville. Be well, safe and much love to all ❤🥰🙏👏, thanks for sharing your journey.

[@robingirven4570]

If I can’t be your next door neighbor I want to be one of your pets. 😊

[@connieodom16]

I love Waddlesville! ❤❤

[@yvetteknott1862]

Looks really good. Really great job. God bless y’all

[@pamelaburdick8366]

Great job on the quail home!!

[@collinsddc1206]

🌺How fun, all complete good job! Enjoy and God Bless you too!

[@anneo3754]

The quail pen looks wonderful!

[@renamaemcdonald2075]

I agree that they look very happy!❤

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

How wonderful for the quail to have such an awesome enclosure! Thank you for sharing!

[@FelonyVideos]

I have to admire a man that can read criticism on the internet and then filter it and discern it and make improvement from said feedback. It's frustrating to watch some channels ignore the feedback, and then spend the next 2 videos explaining how they are working around said problem. 😂

[@dennismahonchak3228]

I really enjoyed this build, start to finish. If I had a life to do over, I would be a homesteader. Thank You for taking us along on your journey.

[@debwhitmore2574]

I love this! Happy feathered friends in Waddlesville! It must be fun to sit and watch them all ❤️

[@marvinlepping2879]

The quail house looks really awesome. I’m sure they will be very happy in that confinement for cleaning purposes. The only thing I could say might do different would be to put a vinyl floor on the bottom to help control, moisture to protect the floor and make it easier for sweeping.😊

[@candymckinnon8554]

Thanks for video. Loved watching the quail in their new home. They seemed so Happy

[@evelynladue491]

How wonderful. I hope it works out the way you want it to. The birds definitely seemed happier.

[@happyquilt1557]

Great team work congratulations Kevin and Sara. Sure those quails look so happy 💕

[@guppy2129]

Happy quail happy Kevin!😊 Nice job!

[@dorenenagy564]

Looks like they are going to be happy. I hope it's not too much work keeping it clean. stay safe, stay well. 💛

[@belieftransformation]

Happy animals, I would say! Thanks for sharing!🤗💗🇨🇦

[@phillipjones3342]

Well I love it as much as the quail do I believe that's very well done I hope it works out

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Really looks great Kevin and Sarah, sure hope it really works out great too. We do like watching all that you both do on the homestead because it show what it takes to keep the homestead running happily for everyone and keeping the produce and animals healthy for processing food for the harvesting. Stay safe and keep up the great work and videos around there. Fred.

[@davidhuffine5084]

Hoop coop looks good . Qauil look happy . Thanks for showing us how to build a hoop coop .

[@tennesseeiris701]

Really great video today. Kevin your vision for a better environment for the quail turned out really well. I enjoyed watching them have the elements and room to run around and be able to have bird behavior. Great job!

[@sowandtare]

The moat attractive place for them to lay in your current setup is behind your trash cans. I recommend blocking off that space if you don't want to move the trash cans every day. Looks great! I'm glad you moved to an aviary set-up. They are so much fun!

[@nancyrea3863]

They do look happy and content. They can watch the other birds and still be safe. Y😊u both always do a great job.

[@nrgltwrkr2225]

Aw...they sure look happy to me too! I hope the quail hut is a great success and easy to maintain. Super job!

[@albrightfs]

Your quail are going to love this!..The shelter looks amazing!.. We've raised ours on the ground since we started with a fairly large area covered and fenced with shelter and this year I planted barley while I had them in the breeding cages. It's so fun to watch them make little tunnels thru their "pasture". I have a KZbin short of them running around in it.. Ours are on the ground and I just rake it out a couple times a month collecting the manure for fertiliser. Quail are one of my favorite birds to raise here on the farm.

[@lovegrows7814]

What a wonderful setup! I just love how you both go above and beyond for the care of your animals 🥰

[@rivinius98]

I always put a piece of fencing or hardware cloth across the door opening so that they stay in when the door is open. I can just step over it. Works great.

[@stacyberry6097]

Findly a quail video. I have mine in a hoop coop for the last 3 months. They love it. I put buckets with hay and they lay in it. 😊

[@wrldvw1836]

That is such a nice coop. They all look so very happy. Terrific design

[@patty9265]

They look so happy.. Glad you were able to do this for them.

[@Cherie5353]

These quail certainly do look amazingly happy ❤❤❤❤

[@balenciasgarden6068]

You guys think of everything. The sunlight is great!!

[@cynthiabarr5437]

Love how your animals are so well cared for! ❤️

[@JulieStCyr-lw4hk]

The quail seem very happy in their new enclosure!! You guys are great stewards to your land and animals!!

[@colene77]

It will be a great thing!!!! Critters like room!!! Just a suggestion; maybe in one corner pile a bunch of small twigs/branches, they’d love to hide under that!! Colene ❤️🤗

[@joanneprinkey1808]

Great Job Kevin .Love it .and Think the Quails do too God Bless❤

[@terrywaters3062]

The quail look mighty happy to me also

[@renamurray3206]

When I had my quail in a pen a lot like this they would lay in a covered little cubby. They did it on their own.

[@CJ-jn5ik]

Looks like they’re loving the new home! Have a great week!

[@barbaraflagg983]

+++ As always, I admire such skilled carpentry and planning work. I hope this works out well for you and the birds.

[@jeanburgin160]

This is so nice for them ... fresh air and such nice space! They are so pretty. They love the chips. They are hot . They do look happy! All the best to you all.

[@julieofidaho]

Really interesting. We live in the city and have wild quail visit regularly. They are so cute.

[@lovemyfamily60]

Kevin, have you ever used organic castor oil on your hands. It’s supposed to be really good for eczema.

[@suedalimonte7863]

I was curious about the amount of sunlight the birds would have too. I’m so glad you explained it. They definitely look happy. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@karenporter3156]

Looks great! If you end up needing to make a mini removable door to block the quail from escaping, perhaps you can make one that is a miniature version of the door you already have that hooks on to the door posts and easily lifts off to get it out of the way when necessary. That way quail will still be able look out through the 2 wire doors. The quail already love their new home.

[@theresas709]

Thank you for doing this for the Quail! They do look a lot happier.

[@NancyWalker-b8h]

Living in Florida air flow is so important. I have found deer netting is the ticket for snakes. If they try to get in they get tangled. Works great around the garden too.

[@jafrompa1555]

I think they love the new home. 😊

[@denisesummers3107]

It’s absolutely wonderful ! Yes those quail are happy !! What a great environment. I guess my husband needs to build one for our quail. Great job !

[@tinaredington3445]

love that the lil ones are happy with all that room and outside thanks for this video. NOW all waddlesville needs is cornish hens lmao but no really they are nice small eating birds and we have 25 breeding females and 5 males also like you we have quail too same 25 females and 5 males and we have 2 extra growing out pens one for all males and one for all females to grow out and eat or replace any we may need to. our Ducks, chickens, and turkeys all have their own pens and run free in the fenced off area like yours only we call ours flyfreezone lol

[@vivianweissmann217]

Hey from Georgia. Kevin and Sara, I think those little guys are going to love this set-up - good job. Look forward to seeing more of them; stay safe.

[@nikkinichols832]

What a great enclosure for your quail Kevin. This is so cool!

[@sharonmilton4854]

They look like happy quail! What a wonderful job you two did!!

[@capridovonrenislam4128]

They were fluttering, probably a bit hot or stressed out with the moving, but they will be just fine, that's a great place for them, much better quality life. Their home looks awesome, do they fight now that they are all together?. We love to watch them birds so don't be shy and show us a bit more footage, it's very soothing. 😄

[@opalezell2166]

I love those,could spent hours watching.

[@arecreatedlife5500]

They seem to love their new home!

[@memecats5698]

You should have Quail live cam for people to watch.

[@BKMay-wx7os]

You might want to put another latch on bottom of door so nothing can pull it out.

[@kathleenfrost6563]

I chuckled at the comment, "It could be like an Easter egg hunt everyday, looking for the eggs." These are lucky quail. You always seem to have their best interests a heart!

[@vilmahernandez5718]

They look so happy ❤
