    veeery clever design in many ways. well executed! also quite aesthetic. usually when you try to do it cheap from things you have, you end up something that isnt pretty. not in your case though!

    My quail aren't super flighty, luckily, so they're easy to catch. But they are temperamental, I have scalpers ☹️ I guess we can't win with everything

    Hey- I wanted to ask how this has been at keeping out predators? This design is my favorite I’ve seen so far & im asking my husband to imitate it 😂 I love the gaps you built in

    • @TheIntegratedGarden
      @TheIntegratedGarden  7 месяцев назад +3

      It has been great against predators. No break-ins with the strong build and latches. And we have raccoons and skunks that wait for an opportunity.
      Only thing is that if you live in an area where snakes are a big issue, you may want to forego the raised gap/lip function for collecting eggs. You would just have to lift the top(s) to collect them, which wouldn't be too bad at all. :)

    After 6 months, how do you like it? Does your raised bar egg system work as hoped?

    • @TheIntegratedGarden
      @TheIntegratedGarden  7 месяцев назад +7

      Greetings! Generally, I love it. Here are a few things I've learned, and/or just a few good consideration points:
      - Everything works beautifully, as intended, in function. The mobility (although I wouldn't want it to be any heavier), the raised lip for the eggs to come right through, the access points, shelter, etc.!
      - Through a comment or two from others asking how I do with snakes, I have realized that if you live in an area where snakes are a big concern, you should forego the raised lip. Not a huge deal, and we don't have any issues here, but worth mentioning for others who might.
      - Because we can have multiple feet of snow here in Colorado, we decided to move them into a raised cage for the deepest of winter months, as we did not want to see this thing get buried with snow.
      - Turns out that quail really don't eat that much grass. I mean, a little bit for sure, but there really isn't much of a "lawn mower" effect. The quail are SUPER happy and healthy in this tractor, though, being on grass with weeds and bugs to keep busy on.
      - I might have over estimated just a bit on how many quail this thing can house. I'd say between 20 and 30 max, for this size.
      Hope that is helpful, and thanks for asking!

    • @TheIntegratedGarden
      @TheIntegratedGarden  Год назад +3

      Great question. We don't have an issue with them in our area. Only garter snakes.
      If you do have them, I would construct it gap-free.

    Amazing quail tractor ! Is there a link or information on your feeder ? It's so simple yet so mess free ! I haven't been able to find anything in my area for quail so it's been all DIY or online ordering.

    • @TheIntegratedGarden
      @TheIntegratedGarden  Год назад +4

      Thank you. Yes -- we got ours from 2BcreationsStore on Etsy. The item is called the "One Gallon Feeder Bucket with Quail Feed Saver Ports".
      I totally hear you. I was going to make my own, but realized that the time and cost was not worth it compared to just ordering one on there.
      Hope that helps.
      Blessings!

    Do you think it possible to raise the quail entirely on pasture if you moved it often enough?

    • @TheIntegratedGarden
      @TheIntegratedGarden  15 дней назад

      @@markm8188 No, unfortunately. They eat some grass and definitely some weeds, bud all in all, it is a pretty small portion of their diet. Quail need a lot of protein (seeds, greens, etc).

      Unfortunately I don't, as I wasn't exactly sure how it was going to come out! Sorry about that. Hopefully you can review and pause it here and there for some detail, but that's about all i can offer. Just something to hopefully draw inspiration with. Blessings on your build, with whatever you might come up with.

      I do not. Quail are very cold hardy, down to -20 degrees fahrenheit / -28 degrees celsius.

      No problems with snakes, although if you live in an area where that is a problem You may want to skip the gap concept, and be sure to use small gauge mesh.

    • @TheIntegratedGarden
      @TheIntegratedGarden  6 месяцев назад

      They need a protein rich diet, which is in their quail feed constantly available within the tractor. They do love seeds and grains, which we also give them.
