That is good advice. Thank you for sharing.

Once ,I made sure the cover over the side with sand box was good, I've never had issue & we've had Historic rains this year. My coop is built to Chris design.

Does the urin in the sand box get overwhelming even you you sift the poop out?

Thank you so much for the kind comments. :)

I am so glad to hear that the videos have been so helpful to you. Thank you for watching.

That is always good advice.

Awesome. I hope it all turns out well.

The water system is a huge time saver for sure. Thank you for watching, I am glad you liked it.

@@Slightlyrednecked Where did the water system things come from? Farm supply store ?

Nice. Thank you for watching. I am glad you found this video helpful.

pretty sure ya know what i mean but for any who dont. floor wire is on the bottom of cage then 4+ inch gap because of new board then the wire. adds extra strength too not that its necessary but hey over engineer and ya never have problems hahaha

I have had a few other people say something similar. I think that is a great idea. I am a little ashamed I didn't think of it myself. :)

@@Slightlyrednecked you know what they say mate great ideas are communal hahahaha. Plus not too late to change, would hate to see ya live wire go down and ya not notice and then come back in the morning to pirate quails haha

@@Slightlyrednecked or have both hahaha

@@rhysforestlord Do you only need extra fencing on the bottom? Will raccoons require extra all around?

Thanks for the suggestion. That sounds like a pretty good feeder indeed.

Thank you for watching.

NO RECOMMEND !!! I want to tell everyone about my negative experience of working with this farm. Zack took an advance payment and I waited about 2 months for a package of eggs. As a result, 3 disabled chicks hatched from 80 eggs and died after 3 days. The rest of the eggs I opened were unfertilized. I have been quailing for 10 years and I know what I am talking about, I wanted to start a new Jumbo breed. I sent photos and videos to Zack. As a result of a week of correspondence with them, I did not even receive the promised 50% refund. Business advertising is very beautiful and loud, but in fact, the result is zero. Wasted time, money, and nerves, that's the result.

Awesome. Good luck with your hatch.

@@Slightlyrednecked thanks chris

Thank you for the kind comments. I run hardware cloth across the top as well. I just cover the one side with clear plastic to keep the weather out.

That sounds terrible (the ants, not the aviary). Glad that you have a solution for it though.

Thank you for watching.

This would work for both sizes ..but you’d want the 1 inch by 1/2 inch galvanized flooring cause the jumbo have big poop 💩 lol

I agree, if it is top heavy or too small, they will tip it over. I just put the holes about chest level to the birds. usually that is about as high up on the container as I can get them. I don't have any problems with waste really.

I wonder if they eat duck weed. It has protein.

you can. It would be best to try and combine them before they get over 4 or 5 weeks old. ONce they hit sexual maturity they can get territorial and it can be difficult to combine them.

I don't believe there is wire mesh underneath the sand box just wood

Agree, they always mention cold extremes but not heat extremes

I removed the bottle & frequently made sure cups were full, so they would learn to go to cups for water, They learned quick.

You are probably correct. I should look into upgrading my microphone. it actually did quite well considering how windy it was outside though.

Could hear your voice surprisingly well despite the fact there was a lot of wind but it's more comfortable to listen to when it has a screen so just a suggestion for the future.

no. I just put it right into the cage out of the bag. never had any issues.

He has a video about his bucket that’s heated

yes. That should work fine. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

Maybe try the pvc coated wire

Once a day is fine. I only feed mine once a day. I try to fed about as much as they will eat in 24 hours. if there is food still in the feeder the next morning, I feed a little less, if they act like they are starving when I feed them, i give them a little more the next time. You will figure out how much they need pretty quickly but it is usually around 12 ounces a day per full grown rabbit. I hope that helps.

That is always a good idea.

It is a sony lav mic. I use a digital voice recorder for my audio. Pretty cheap set up but works pretty well.

@@Slightlyrednecked thanks so much .I need something like that for my channel

KC Quail Farm and Myshire Farm are both great suppliers of jumbo quail eggs. If you are looking to buy live birds, i would look for someone locally. Live birds don't ship well.

@@Slightlyrednecked Thanks Chris. I'm not far from McMurry hatchery. Although they do offer Coturnix Quail, they don't say jumbo. Is there a difference between just plane Coturnix and Jumbo Coturnix?

My guess would be to allow for air flow in the hot summer. That way the hutch doesn’t get as hot

Place to store stuff, as he said

Just heard you say 24 layers easy with 1 sf per bird.

If its for quail. The coturnix i have don't fly that high. I'll let them roam around a few acres, but they stay in a very close area, fly made 3-8ft high and as far as 75 ft when they really want to spread their wings. On avg, they won't fly that far around a yard, just getting exercise. But really, most of them aren't even interested in roaming around. They like to feel safe, like being in a cave. The safer they feel, they happier they will be and will lay more. Anyway, reason I'm saying this is in response to not breaking the bank. If you've got one that really wants out. Let in out around your house where predators can't get em. I had a flight pen for them, but they just didn't really get into it...well, not enough of them. Out of 100, maybe 4 or 5 wanted to really fly around. So you could just save all the money. Animals wanna feel wild sometimes, but these little uns just wanna feel safe and secure more than anything. I don't know if this was helpful at all, but wanted to share with ya. Take care, be safe.

@@Silver_Creek_Aquatics i lost all my quails to a neighbor's pit. So now im having to start over it destroyed my hutch. Im wondering if i can do chicken wire and then do some kind of netting inside

@@jessicagrimes8389 raccoons, opossums etc. can get through chicken wire. If they can, I'm certain a dog or fox could too. Hardware cloth is def the way to go.

I am struggling to come up with a cheaper solution that would be secure. I saw you mentioned chicken wire but I don't think that would be secure enough. You might be able to get away with chicken wire if you run a string of electric wire around the outside to keep predators from getting too close.

@@Slightlyrednecked When you come up with it.. you will be a rich man!...lol Seriously though, agriculture could use some new technology, and not the kind that links to a phone.

He said 8x3, or 24 sq.ft.

Any kids sand, or builders sand.

You must have missed the big portion of sand that they can run on.
