- I got a brand new brooder box from Dale at Dale's Quails and I am finally getting it all put together. I can't wait to put it to use.
Interested in a Dale's Quails brooder box or cage? Check out the link below for more details.

Dog stops barking at the 16:32 mark .
I've now used a 20 gallon long aquarium with a 100W heat lamp as a brooder and have had much success with this set up.
Nothing wrong with that. As long as it is working no need to change it up.
Quail-con? Awesome!
I love my medium size brooder, that price included shipping. It'll hold 70 chicks and I even use it as a grow out for the boys between hatches. It's a great unit.
I agree, works very well for me too.
I have put some serious thought into getting a Dale’s Quails brooder ever since my little brother got one. I currently brood my quail in my house… I haven’t been brave enough to brood them outside and we don’t have a garage/barn for it. But I LOVE the design!
p.s. the dog barking doesn’t bother me… can’t control the neighbors’ animals 🤷🏽♀️ thanks for taking the time to put this video together!
When I talked to Dale he said he designs all of the cages and brooders to fit pans available on Chewy. Loretta’s small brooder uses a standard 24” rabbit cage pan. My brooders are all in the house.
@@jessemills2415 oh, that’s good to know! I can snag a 24” rabbit pan from TSC easily. Thanks for that tip!
Thanks for hanging in there through the dog barking. I used to brood in my house as well and still do from time to time so I understand your predicament.
I don’t get why everyone is so upset by the dog barking! That’s what dogs do, have the time you can’t get them to stop when it’s your dog, much less the neighbors!
You’ll never go back to tubs! I built wire bottom brooders this summer, and love them!! So much easier to clean, and no poop balls on the feet. Of course mine don’t come close to looking as good as Dale’s! I have one of his small brooders my daughter bought at Quailcon.
done is as good as perfect in my book. It is just a quail brooder and I am sure that they don't really care how good it looks. :)
I kept saying during the build process, as Chris would say “ it’s for quail not fine furniture “ Lol!
I'm sorry my friend, I had to skip through your video, barking dogs drive me nuts. I still gave a thumbs up. God bless.
SOrry about that. Thanks for the thumbs up though.
I now use a LG converted Guinea pig cage(floor & sides with 1/2-1/2 hardware cloth) that fits in very lg 2 1/2'' by 4' tote. I place hay/ straw in bottom tote, with 2 shallow coffee cans to keep wire of bottom. I will lift cage out; dump matured straw in compost pile; refill & put birds back: couple minutes to do.
their in this till feathered: then to my Quail tractor.
Sounds like you have a nice set up.
The barking dog at least got you some extra viewer engagements in the comments section ✊🏾 I appreciate the information you put out, Chris!
Sorry to hear about the hatch rate for this batch.
I guess it did. :) No worries about the hatch rate. Next one will be better.
I built Terry's brooder. Love it.
Nice. I have seen it before and it looks like a great set up as well.
I have this brooder. Once the chicks can fly, they will escape. So putting in food or water, birds will get out. I think it would be better with 4 doors. It is also difficult to clean around the edges. Gives them plenty of room though.
That is exactly what I thought of the moment I saw it, too.
I’m experiencing both these challenges right now.
Someone in a group I am in put down vinyl molding to cover the edges of the wire and the wood strip. She said it’s easier to clean. I’m going to look into that.
Interesting. I will have to keep an eye on that. I may make a recommendation to Dale to adjust his design.
Not a fan of the paneling used.
I also use leftover pieces of flooring to keep my feeders and waterers stable. I just put them in the corners and they rest on the rails.
Nice. Thanks for the tip.
You've helped me out with getting into rabbits and intrigued me with the quail. I'm ready to jump in. I just ordered Dale's single tier kit with roll-out egg floor. I'm so excited! We already have 40 chickens but once you have one species, why not keep going, right? Thanks for all you do to aid and abet our food independence.
Thank you so much for the kind comments. I am sure you will be happy with the new cage.
I like that it has legs on it and don't have to bend to ground all time,but afraid the hinges won't last long to how the doors open and hang,maybe I will try to make one like this!Other thing though about being on ground might keeps birds warmer though when on ground,instead of air coming up threw bottom.
Good thoughts. So far I am not having any issues keeping it warm enough.
I saw comments and thought maybe they weren't tolerant people, lol. 30 seconds in and both my dogs nearby started going off, hearing the video.😂
You should put wheels on the new brooder box. Make it easy to take care of moving it and you can add some deviders.
That is a good idea. I may have to do that.
@@Slightlyrednecked Someday, I would love to have a brooder like that someday or maybe I can make one. I have a lot of donated wood.
If you sides came with a hole, you can use a heater plate, which I Iike. I had mine outside and the sides warped, need to fix those this winter.
That is what the holes are for. I meant to say that in the video actually. Luckily the sides should be fairly easy to replace.
Can you please recommend some lights can buy for my quail in the live tonight I'll watch it in the morning it usually starts around 1am here
I did talk a little about lights on last nights live. I am testing out a solar dusk to dawn light right now. So far it seems to be working well. Here is a link if you are interested in it. amzn.to/3CFZmS0
Quick question hope u can help.
Im in southern ca. First year raising quail.
I noticed My quails are slowing down in egg production im thinking its cuz of season changing.
I have about 40 newly hatched quails i think will be my egg producers for next year.
Shud i kill off my quails at end of season and keep my younger quails to replace my older quails (about 4-5 month old)
If my older birds are laying less eggs in fall and winter i would save on feed and time feeding and cleaning.
What are your thoughts.
Seems like you have a pretty good plan there. If it were me, I would go ahead and process my older birds and keep the newer ones to be the future breeders. Like you said, save on feed costs over the winter. You can also add external lights to get the amount of "daylight" up to 14 hours a day to keep them laying all winter long if you want to.
What do you put on the bottom to collect poop in your shed?
I have some straw under the cage that I will clean out once they are moved outside.
Hello!
You mention the cost of the brooder box was $125 starting. Would you mind sharing how much did you invest in the second quail hutch you build 8x3 and the total of material for your design?
Much appreciated.
I built that hutch years ago and wood prices have gone up. I think it was about $150 at the time but might be a little more now. I don't have a material list but i did a video on building and you could probably get it from that. ruclips.net/video/1-FjnYMV1-c/видео.html
That video was the first one I watched from your channel. It help a lot and I will use that design. Thank you and God bless!
Guess your neighbor
Doesn’t mind her dog yapping non stop
Had to turn the volume off sorry
Sorry about that. It usually isn't that bad but she was on a rampage. My neighbor's husband just went on hospice care so I think she was a little pre occupied and I was doing my best to be patient with her for that reason.
I like how she came out and yelled at dog then dog continues lol sorry you have to hear that,do the neighbors like you?Or they trying to get you to move!Anyways thanks for showing all this.
I get along with my neighbors pretty well. She usually does a good job of keeping the dog under control but she has a lot going on right now. Her husband just went on Hospice care a day or two before.
How many adult quail could you use this for?
This really isn't a good cage for adult quail. But you can figure about 1 square foot of floor space per bird to figure that out. Hope that helps.
Yeah that dogs brutal
Sure was. She usually isn't that bad.
The blood is from a cut on the side of your leg.
I found that later on. Not sure how it got there exactly. :)
Personally I blame squirrels
I blame squirrels for a lot of things. :)
WOW your buddy is very vocal today but he will get over it he's just wanting your undivided attention. 😂 Just like most people's children in the stores. 😂
Yup. Much worse than normal for sure.
Lol sorry next thing you showed you covered it sorry didn't get that far with video
Oops. Sorry about that.
I could not handle that barking all the time! I would have to kill it!
Sorry about that. She usually isn't that bad.
@@Slightlyrednecked LOL I have a dog next door to me, that barks all the time! Drives me nuts! I have told them to keep that thing quite at 6 AM!! They don't give a shit! No problems with your next door dog. All I could hear was that dog barking, didn't hear what you were saying. I am new to quail, so any info is very important!
@@Slightlyrednecked I have a little barn that 2 week olds go in! They stay nice and warm! 👍🏻👍🏻
Sorry the dog stopped me from watching the whole video
I am sorry about that. I will try to make sure that doesn't happen again on the next video.
that dog really sucks.
it usually isn't that bad but I agree. It definitely sucked that day.
@@Slightlyrednecked still a great video and we appreciate all the knowledge you provide for everyone raising quail. Keep up the great videos!
Bruh ,that dog. I'm sorry I can't finish the video. You shoulda just skipped uploading the assembly. That was ridiculous
I totally agree, film in the garage or shop next time. Could not finish, where is your gun when that dog was going nuts.
@@hjr8189sbc lol right. There would be "have you seen my dog" posters on every telephone poll if I lived there. That mutt would be wearing cement shoes.
The funny part is I tried to skip to the end of the video just to see the verdict and he was in the dark by that point and that dog was still barking. I just shut it off
sorry about that. That dog usually isn't that bad.
@@Slightlyrednecked for your sake I hope not lol. No need to apologize to us, you were the one affected by ppl being put off not us. Anyways thanks for the reply. Have great day
OMG its a freaking dog! Sooooo intolerant! I guess you all haven't even had neighbors with dogs.
