Making some modifications to my Coturnix Quail layer cages. After a year of using the cages I designed and built I found a few issues that needed modifying to make the cage even better.

Luckily, we've worked with the auto drip pans before with our rabbits so we automatically added 6" to your design when we built our quail cages. We've had no issues. We also spray painted the trays with rustoleum prior to installing them.

Hi Terry, need your help. How big is the opening between the bottom the the drip pan to the top of the egg roll out opening after you made this modification? 4inches?

I see that each tier is basically a whole cage, or it appears. Just wondered how your birds get along. I'm assuming you have multiple roosters in same cage with all the hens. Have you ever thought about subdividing those tiers to reduce your rooster count per cage? Also, what advantages have you experienced keeping your cages that way? TIA

I have a small quail pen in my garage with 9 birds. I went ahead and did the oil pan set up as well. Any way to help with the smell. I change the shaving out daily. Still makes the garage smell. Any advice? Thank you

We made the hutch and put it outside. Great hutch but the wild birds started stealing the eggs out of the trays lol. So we put wire strips left over from making the cages to cover the eggs.

If you raise quail mainly for eating eggs and meat, should I still have mail in the cages? I'm trying to determine my square foot per cage.

Hi Terry, I'm trying to combine all the mods that you made with the roll out bottoms and having the extra space. You said you removed the extra 21in side pieces that you had glued in originally. I didn't see you replace them in the video. Did you? And if not is there a gap in between the roll out bottom and side wall wire?
@courtneymattus849
@courtneymattus849 2 жыл бұрын
Actually, I just went back and looked and it looks like you did put them back in and angled it a but to match the slope of the roll out bottom. Right?

Terry I have question about the incubator I built like yours but have a larger fan which only allows for one. The wire that's on it has a connection end that would have to be cut off. How do you wire it up to the power supply 12v.
@CoturnixCorner
@CoturnixCorner 3 жыл бұрын
If you have a volt meter you can test your 12 volt PS for positive and negative, then wire direct to the fan after cutting off the connector. If it’s a three pin connector the center wire should be hot. Good luck

I am building two cages this weekend. I am doing two tiers on each instead of three for a total of 4 cages. I want each cage to be 48” high and 48” wide. I found 47” drip pans at NAPA. I am doing the version with egg rollout. So after this MOD what are the measurements for each tier? I would like to have 12” height on each cage.

Hello great video. On the grow out cages if you turn some into smaller cages. Would 1'x 2' cages hold 5-6 birds at a time. And how many waterers would you put in each cage. Or would you go wider cages.
@CoturnixCorner
@CoturnixCorner 3 жыл бұрын
A 1’ X 2’ cage is 2 sq ft, so at 3 birds per sq ft technically you could keep 6 birds. I would probably only do 3 or 4 in a cage that size. I like to have multiple waterers per cage in case one fails you have a backup. I do prefer the larger cages.
