    Nice build on the quail hutch, looks great. Russell Crow is a great name for a rooster. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed day.

    Been watching a lot of videos on quail cages over the past few weeks, really like your design. I was thinking about making them back to back like yours due to worry of it tipping over in the wind, I live on top of a ridge. Your idea of making it moveable is fantastic! I’m definitely going to base my design on yours. Very nice job! I do believe yours is the ultimate design.

    I follow your design and only made minor changes. 48 inches wide by 60 inches deep. I also made for rear shelter With a 3 inch deep sandbox. I like your idea of the wheels and I think I'm gonna end up putting some on. I did run electric advancing around the bottom of the legs. Because I have Three dogs that are Real curious. Thanks again for showing us your design. I think I'm gonna build a second one as well. God bless your brother appreciate your videos

    I like your idea of the wheels. Your design is sweet I think I’m gonna copy that design if you don’t mind. I built my first one from cortunix Corner design with the egg rollout, that one will be in mud room. But I like your tractor idea as well. Great video once again! Thank you

      Go for it! I thought about the egg roll out design but I was worried snakes or rodents might be able to get in.

      The pen I have I put a sand box in it . Mine are young and just starting laying and so far the three eggs have been in the sand box . So when I build my next one it will have sand boxes in it . And they love the dust bath

    Great set up! The area with not wire flooring does that get dirty? Do the quails spend more time in there or out in the wire flooring where the water and food is at? Also, it would have been easier to tilt the flooring that way the eggs go rolling down. Easier to grab them. I could be wrong. But great video! It gives me an idea of how to build it.

    • @TheHandsOnChannel
      @TheHandsOnChannel  17 дней назад

      Yes, they tend to hang out in the non-wired area. My solution was to cut up feed bags as a liner to catch the poop on. It works pretty good, but I would consider some vinyl flooring next time. Great idea on the sloped floor. Might have to try that on the next one.

    Cool design. Curious how heavy it is with sand in the laying space. Not sure about your wooden rotating latches though. Raccoons out here would figure that out about an hour after dark on day one.

    • @TheHandsOnChannel
      @TheHandsOnChannel  2 месяца назад

      Still working great. I'd say the end with the handle is about 40 lbs, it's easy to move on flat solid ground. I do wish I would have used the cheap pneumatic wheels from Harbor freight instead because it would probably roll easier..

    Ive been looking hard for a good cage and found nothing until now. The obly thing i would do is use 4x4 for the corner legs. Do you have the all the dimensions i can get from you?
