Quail 1

Our temporary house mate Jon, a friend from uni, invited his Aunt and Uncle around for tea, they suggest getting some Quails as "we already have housing", that sounded like a excellent Idea! So the Quail venture began.

Quite early on I realised that they don't get on, so I will have to construct a new house, this time learning some lessons from both robs and jeffs shed, constructing the house in panel form as well as upgrading my tool etc. using a staple gun rather than funny u shape nails.

The Quail plan is to have a house which is splits into 2, Generation 1 (G1) that I will hatch with a borrowed incubator and will live in one section at a ration of 1 boy to 3 Girls. I will collect eggs from these both initialy for eating but also at week 10 for incubation. Generation 2 (G2) will live in the secon partition section, these will be bred for meat.

The build.


This is the base of the house, mesh under the soil to stop baddies getting in.

These are the panels

This is the house constructed, it is taller than the chickens one because, the Quails will not be allowed out to play like the chickens are so we have to go in and see them, also when they are startled they have a habit of flying directly up and hitting there heads.

There is a door where Sam is stood and another door at the far left, there is a step in to allow us access without granting the Quail leave. The partition will be put in when G2 get on the way between the central wood Columns.
