The fittings for the bucket are a male and female adapter......the tees for the cups are 1/2 x 1/8 x 1/2 and you should use a female adapter with a threaded plug at the end of your cup line instead of a glue cap.....that way you can clean out the line without cutting off the cap.....otherwise a great system

Could you do a list like the last video? Would be extremely helpful when going to get the materials.

I run a small business called "Cowboy Quail Farm". We recently upgraded our barn basing our cage and water system off your design. I can't thank you enough for the time and care you put into these videos. You made my construction projects so easy!

Really like your vids, find them very hand on and helpful. Thank you from Autralia

the more I watch the more I learn, and the easier it is going to be when I start my Quail in the spring. Please keep putting up these wonderful videos.

Very nice I made mine with 1/4 inch flex line it was cheap and fast. But I should have used black flex line in stead of clear. Awesome job

very nice setup and saves a lot of time. Using the compression connector is great idea, I was trying to think of something similar but cheaper and smaller. ball valve is sure handy to drain the system too. I'll follow your ideas but will put a screw off cap on a male fitting at the end of the rails.

Setting my waterers up tomorrow. Just got done building your stacked cages. Its a very nice addition

Great videos and easy explanatory. Wish to start my farm soon from watching this videos. Keep the good hard work. Get me updated please, so curious to start one.

watching from sweden. thank you

you do a great job, i built your breeder cage set up was very easy to build after watching your you tube keep up the great work

Your videos are fantastic! Thank ou

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

This is good I like your videos I have bob whites and just got some cortunixs at a sale the other week

I love your video. Looking forward to seeing more

Great Vid!!! Thanks for sharing this and so many other great vids!

I like it. I think i would put a drain valve on the bucket also.

As a newbee I will be starting using this entire cage and watering system

Very helpful...i m gonna doing quail farming ..

I use a union piece (I think that's what it's called) to attach to the bucket. I've never needed silicone to seal it. Also, I like the sturdiness of the pvc pipe. I'm using 1/4 and 3/8" tubing right now and it seems to have a lot of play and movement. Doing very well. I like your videos. I've recently created a self feeder that is working amazing. Contemplated J-feeders but, I think these hold more feed and only cost me

Thank you Terry! You have taught me sooooo much. This is my next project. I have completed the incubator and I am working on the three tier quail cage now! About to order my eggs. Your videos are making it possible for me to raise quail. I could not have afforded it or known where to begin otherwise.

Thanks for the video works great

Thank you for all the inofmation and wonderful how to's. It has helped alot. I did have a few questions. I have heard a few bad reviews of this water cup. How well is this system working for you? Are you still using this brand watering cup? Are there any improvements you would make now?

Learned a lot from your video's. Just one suggestion. I tried the watering cups that you have a link to and my quail could never get the water by pecking at the yellow part. I tried another cup and they leaked constantly by over filling the cup. Finally found a cup that is working well for me..... RentACoop Automatic Chicken Water Nipple Cup Waterer Kit for Poultry

Thank you so much

I really appreciate your awesome videos. Curious to know what vitamins you give your birds or if you ever make/use your own colloidal silver to maintain their health? All the best.

Good work

Best videos for sure.

thanks for u videos 👍👍

Really liking your setup! For the height of the cup from the floor, I'm curious why 4" but not 3" or 2"? Is it to prevent the quails from jumping onto the cup? One KZfaqr said that his quails had been sitting on the cups pressing onto the yellow trigger causing the whole tank of water to leak out. Would that be a concern for you as well? Just trying to think over all the details before building mine. Thanks!

you should put the compression coupling on the top next to the bucket to make it easier

Very helpful

Is there a supply list somewhere I’m missing for items needed to complete the water system project?

HELLO! My husband and I build your three cage enclosure with the egg roll floors. And I just recently built THIS watering system. I had some leaking issues due to not use enough glue, I fixed that but now my quail have not figured out how to peck the yellow piece in the watering cups and I have to push it and fill the little water cups for them. Have you had this issue before? If so, did your quail eventually figure out how to use the pecking cups?

👍Super sir Very nice demo 50nos quail how many water points need

Thanks!

merci pour la traduction en français

I've been binging on your videos today. Really thoroughly presented and good units. I have a question regarding your hutch. Why did you choose to have the doors swing up rather than down? If they go down, you wouldn't need the zip tie, would they? I'm going to start my quails in the beginning of April. I can't wait to put what I've learned from your videos in to practice. Thank-you so very much.

شكرا

Followed your design with the addition of threaded junctions at the ends of each level of waterers and the T sections. Helps with access for a more thorough cleaning of each section. Thank you for your ideas and videos. They've been phenomenally helpful.

😀Thanks so much....

I wanted to support your channel by ordering from an affiliate link. But the cups are out of stock and do not look like they will be restocked. Could you update the link?

Question, how do you get the brids to use them. lol. They won't peck the levers to get more water. There got to be something better.

Do you lower the height of the watering cups for layer hutches with the slopes floor or will they obstruct eggs that try to roll out?

How high do you mount the water cups inside the cage?

these water cup is the problem from other video. How is this holding up so far in your system?

Going to try this style for a large grow out pen. How many cups in a single row would one 5gal bucket service. My pen can hold 80 birds.

Hi Terry, I had another question. 2 really. Would a height of 5 inches for the water cups be ok for adults only? And would 5 inches for the j feeders be ok too? I would keep any chicks or juveniles in a different cage. Thanks again. Great video!

Hey - great video - I've watched this like 5 times, and ive been back and forth to home depot/Lowe's... specifically I'm wondering if you happen to have the specific name or part number for the bushing/coupler(s) used for direct contact with the bucket? Thanks in advance

w just build the 3 stack cage and am now working on the watering system. we are having trouble finding the 1 /2 the 1/4 T for the cups. Where can I find them.

I put in the quail watering system you recommended. The problem is the cups overflow. do you have a solution for this or a way to adjust the water level?

How do you keep the water from not being a million degrees. I live in Florida and it’s the surface of the sun year round here.

I'm thinking this would also work with Bobwhite quail also don't you think ??

Another great video! Other than having to fill them more frequently than a 5-gallon bucket, is there anything else inherently faulty with the quart Mason jar with the red, round trough? Thanks!

What brand of water cups do you use? I have bought two different brands and have had problems with them over filling because they don't shut off.

Is it possible to insulate the system so it doesn't freeze in the winter?

Can you post a list of the pvc cuts? I finally found all of the pieces I need, but I need the measurements. Or can you direct me to the place you have already posted the list?

What is the ratio of number of quail per cup? Trying to complete my design. Thank you for all the wonderful information!!! Keep up the great work!!

How do you clean those cups. Because it's obvious that birds will put some food and droppings into the cups.

Got a bucket full of good for nothing cups

Only one seal/bushing would be needed since it only needs sealed from the outside of the fitting. sealing from inside bucket and outside is a double seal.

Hello! I’ve been to two different Home Depot’s and Ace and can’t find the 1/2 inch coupling with 1/4 threaded part. Is there somewhere special to get it?

Great how-to video! A couple of questions and they might receive "common sense" answers" 1. Which joints do you NOT glue? 2. Have you tried (with results?) the horizontal nipples for quail? I like the cups but am wondering how the horizontal nipples might work. Thanks.

What sized hole saw should I purchase for 1/2” pvc couplings? I know the outer diameter is not actually 1/2” but I don’t know the outside diameter of the pipe

What company did you buy water cups from

Do you sell the cages?

Hi Terry,I am in the UK ,I have built the cage got the cups and tees but am having difficulty getting the rest of the stuff,would you be able to send it to me from the states,obviously I would pay for this.

Hi Terry where can you find those tee 's 1/2" on two sides with a 1/4 " threaded ? Home depot didn't have them neither did lowes

Hi ,my Quail water system is a 5 gallons but how can I prevent it turning green,I'll appreciate your help,thanks .

Salve le barre in PVC debbono essere in PVC-C alimentare oppure va bene anche il pvc grigio PVC-U?

How long do you have to run water through the pipes for the glue don't affect the quails

I have been raising quail for about 3 years in a converted dog cage and am planning to build your cages. Wondering with your watering system if you have any suggesting for keeping them from freezing during the winter months?

How much did it all cost

Can you provide a parts list

Do you have any issues with the cups?

You talked about using the quart waterer for your juveniles before they learn to use the cups. My quail seem to make huge messes with that style waterers. I can't figure out exactly how they're doing it. Is that unavoidable? Or do you have any tricks to prevent this? I'm in the process of building your 3 tier style housing. So I'll be doing this watering system once that is done. But in the meantime (and for future reference with the juveniles) I was just wondering if there was a way to stop mine from leaking out all of their water.

I’m having problems with the poultry cups. The first one on the top row overflows. I’ve replaced it a couple times. And I took birds out to see if it was them playing with it. So ... any suggestions on how to fix that. I don’t know the math behind it or I’m not holding my tongue right.

Hey Terry, my name is Dani, and I went step by step building this watering system and also my husband and I build your 3-stacked cage with the egg roll floor. I'm having speaking issue at one of the T fittings, do you have any solutions as to how I can fix it without destroying it?

Any issues with these getting stuck open?

Where and what is the measurement if the t for the cups? I can't find them at lowes or home depot.

Used this system tried two different cups plus the correct plumbing ( Iam 70 been in the building industry all my life ) yes all the right connectors all l got was poop trays full of water the cups don’t work save your hard earned money unless you like poop trays full of water and shit

Fully automatic would be to run it straight to the water supply. Couple ways to do it, but pipe it up.

Hello! What store you buy this staff ?

how do you insulate water lines in winter?

Could someone pretty please give me a written list of the PVC parts needed? I have never done plumbing before so the words he is saying just aren't registering in my simple mind

How many lengths 1/2" pvs did you use for one 3 cage set up.

HI TERRY HOW ARE YOU? I MISS YOU CAGE BUILDER VIDEO CAN YOU GIVE ME THE LINK? STAY SAFE!

Thanks for your guide. It's interesting to see you don't put any PVC cement on the down tubes. I assume it doesn't leak at those points? Also, I assume you fill the orange bucket up periodically using a hose? How often do you have to do this - how thirsty do they get?

Have you considered using uniseals instead of bushings? They might be cheaper and easier for the build. I've used them for other projects with great success.

Nice but those part ore expensive.

How do you keep it from freezing in winter?

Hi Sir,How much capacity of quile for this cage.

I have the issue of the bowls drying out and not filling the bowl???? any ideas on a fix?

Do u have the supply list for this watering system

Hello. I don’t think my quail know how to trigger the cup to fill with water. The cups seem to always be dry.

Hello! My quail has stopped eating..its been 4 days. Please HELP!
