I really like your design! Have you had any problems with snakes? I have a great little mouser, so I’m not really as concerned about the mice (she sometimes eats baby snakes too), but I’m wanting to use bigger wire to get thicker ga. and am worried about snakes. Specifically, a snake getting in and trying unsuccessfully to eat my birds and killing and regurgitating 4-5 before finding one small enough to swallow. I like how you inclined the cages for egg roll-out….much less complex and just as effective! Thanks a lot!
One thing you did not mention, that is important for egg rolling into the egg catcher, (but you did do correctly though), is to make sure the mesh on the floor is facing the right way. Make sure the bars that are on top, are the ones running vertically down to the catcher, not the other way around, where the raised bars on the opposite side, run horizontal lines and therefore bumps for the eggs to get hung up on and no roll down smoothly. Running vertically, back to front, inside the cage, they have an unobstructed slide down "raised tracks" essentially and the horizontal ones are underneath and out of the way. No way for eggs to get hung up. This is at least true of non-woven, welded hardware cloth. Woven of course would be different and isn't really suitable for this, as the wire goes up and over and down and under and back up again etc. creating bumps everywhere no matter which side you pick.
That is exactly what I'm wanting to know is where to find those feeders they're perfect. I have tried a multitude of feeders and none of them work properly when it comes to quail.
Hello, thank you for the video very instructive. Do you have or can you make a video on how to do the shelf for the cage ?
Great tutorial. Can you give the dimensions of each piece of the cage?
Nice video. Educational.
Thank you!

Nice tutorial.
Where can I find those feeders?

Great job. I like this idea.
Thank you! Glad you like it.
wow that is one simple cage design actually, im surprised.
How many quail will fit in this cage?
Thanks for sharing...
Thank you! And thanks for viewing!
Dimensions for each of the sides and bottom would be nice
what sa cage dimesion.. thank you
Is 1x1/2 recommended for racoon proof ing?
That is what I do.
It seems to work pretty good and also in keeping snakes out.
Dimensions?
Size
Simple yes , but not snake or mouse proof >
Yepper. My quail would be gone in one night. I have to use 1/4".

Those are some tiny cages for living beings to be caught in.....
