@@coreytran7415 You do realize it's that attacking the other that creates the toxicity, right? We as a species need both our mother and father, and any time we go without one or the other is a travesty.
@@Undomaranel We definitely need both but I think the data shows that overall, being raised by a single father offers better outcomes than being raised by a single mother.
@@Undomaranel That's presuming both your mother and father are loving. That isn't always the case. I wish I was raised by a single mother. My father was physically abusive. And no, he didn't drink or anything like that. He just hated kids, it was as simple as that. Little kids don't act like mature, middle-aged adults, and he couldn't deal with it.
I am a FFA member. I am in Division 3 of the Minnesota State FFA chapter. And I have got second and third place in Minnesota state FFA science fair. Being an FFA member I’ve learned so much and it’s a lot of fun. I am so so glad your son is getting into this.
The translucency of the water barrel will promote algae blooms. I'd recommend you put an opaque cover, shed over it. Great looking quail hutch. When I was a kid I wanted to raise quail, but my folks thought that was just silly. Great job, guys.
I was looking forward to this video. My father was never in my life. I really would have loved to do a project like this with him. Stay in your boy's life. He might not show much, but he very much loves you being in his life.
Dad, your patience is amazing and I’m sure that your son has learned a lot from you, including your attributes. It’s nice to see a father working together with their son. This is something that he will never forget! Great video, Shawn. Thanks
Built our on quail coop when we bought our home. Had started with 50 quail, but somehow a cat got into the coop at night and tore apart most of them and the rest disappeared. We were only able to get one of our quail back. Love em, and thinking about getting some more later on. Edit: What I would do for your flighty quail is trim their flight feathers and the females do need holes to hide away from any males, since males will continuously chase them to mate.
I have quails too. I would recommend, that you install a board (30cm height) in the entrance, so when you open the door the quails can't escape so easily. They are very hectic and fast.
I'd like to see your quail "tractor" as well. Also, how about making a few extra frame "corners" to sit in some spots away from the exterior walls. Give them more places to feel safe so they're not ALL bunching into the 4 that are available.
Man your kids got really grown up. I remember when I started watching you, Shawn, they were super little! So glad to see you and your family well and sound!
I remember being a little girl and asking dad if he could help me make a rabbit hutch. He took me shopping for wood and mesh and everything we needed. He could have just bought everything and done it all himself, it probably would have been faster that way, but i always appreciated that he took the time to teach me how to identify good wood, what tools we really needed and what tools we could makeshift. Im sure your son appreciates you sharing your knowledge as well 😊
Your kids are really a joy and you spending time with them in such a positive way warms my heart. That said, I don't think it's a great idea to put your kids up on the internet, for any reason. You guys have a great life, I envy it, and while the internet is plainly lucrative, I wouldn't want it to alter your family life. Just my two cents. Love you Shawn.
UA-cam unsubscribed me from you a while ago, but I didn't think about your channel until I saw your nutria video when looking up nutria for my friend to identify what kind of animal was in their lawn! Glad to see you're still making content and having a good time with your family!!! You make very entertaining and informative videos, and I love watching them!! Hope your day is well :]!!!
you might consider growing some greens in planters placing them around the center portion of the enclosure, it will break up line of sight and even create cover as well as free greens for the quail to nibble on to keep them healthy. not sure of your growing zone fountain grass would create a nice hiding place as well. containers could be built reasonable and your son may enjoy the building of them. Using wood and sheets dipped in slightly soupy cement mixture, using the left over cement mixture to make slightly thicker cement with in the planter, place over the grow frames, let dry then fill with dirt and plant may have to make a temp cage over them until the plants grow enough the quail wont just eat the seeds. Awesome build the best part is teaching your son new skills. turned out lovely.
A hoop coop is just a really large live catch trap if you think about it..... Seriously though, awesome to see your kids looking up to their really knowledgeable and loving father!
Как то я купила для пробы 10 штук перепелов, а они у меня через неделю сбежали. Такое разочарование было🤦♀️🤦♀️. Решила поискать, а они у меня по кустам в траве разбрелись, и наслаждались свободой. Находя одного за другим я радовалась как ребёнок, найдя 9 штук... На 10го уже не рассчитывала, сутки прошли, как она сама вышла мне на встречу с другого конца сада. Так я собрала все 10 своих перепёлок. Сегодня я нашла хороший проект благодаря вам я тоже сделаю такой же проект. Мне очень нравится этот вариант.❤❤❤❤❤
They sound like propellers when they take flight, lol. They're also a lot louder than I thought they would be. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to put bury some more sheet metal around the perimeter to help deter burrowing predators.
Did you put some finer wire on the cattle panels so that, when the tarp starts to wear, predators don't just walk in? Also, it could prevent predators from tearing the tarp and walking in.
I was just thinking this would be great to build for my lawnmowers when I change oil and gas filters on my 2 ride on cub cadets and replace blades and clea them . . I could leave both ends open and it would give me shade but allow air flow and easy in and out access . WOW Why did I not think of this earlier
You mentioned in the other video that animals have burrowed underneath the coop to try and get in. I also see here that you have just built the coop on top of dirt, moving the dirt around to try and make the coop level. Would it make more sense to put some of that plywood you have on top of the wooden base on the bottom side as well?
You need to provide a barrier for rats who will burrow under your coop and knaw through the plywood floor. Perhaps adding 1/2 inch hardware cloth on the floor or burying hadware cloth vertically to a. Depth of 18" around the perimeter of the coop would help.
My quail would sit on those red cups and would cause constant water flow and would drain the tanks and make insane messes. I placed the red cups just outside a fenced cover so only their heads could reach in, they couldn't sit on them. I tried the nipple feeders but too many problems with those. For my feeder I use PVC piping 3 or 4" with 1-1.5" holes to access the feed. It's sloped and connected to a 90 with up pipe as the fill and storage. Also use lowest protein possible for layers and lower for your males or nonlayers you will butcher, that reduces the odor, reduces flies and reduces overheating on any possible hot days. 16-22% protein. I used a combo of chick starter 18-20% crumbles with gamebird 24-30% crumbles to a ratio that would give me the desired protein level. For my breeders and layers 22% seemed ideal for my birds, no feather pecking, calm, low odor so hardly any flies. Calcium only needs to be around 1.8-2% for layers. My coturnix LOVED cuttlebones!! They devoured them! Also millet like they sell for parakeets. Mine didn't care about greens or any other fresh foods. (I'm in desert so you probably don't have anything like my hot days.) Also I set out multiple deep- sided 6" and covered dust baths with Sweet PDZ crumbles - they sell as stall fresher. They would lay their eggs in their and some hens would "own" a dust bath and exclusively lay in that specific dust bath - so I had a ratio of 1 dust bath for every 2-4 hens. Some hens would sleep together and share dust baths. It made collecting eggs very quick and the eggs were clean. I used fine mesh colander to pour the PDZ through weekly to remove the poops and reused the PDZ. The PDZ really helped keep the odor down and kept it dry. I rotated males between female groups and only kept the calm friendly ones and developed larger eggs and birds. It seemed the Italian and Amber Autumn colors were the calmest, friendliest, quietest in my mix of colors. LOVE Coturnix, was raising them for eggs, meat and feeding my dogs. Also sold the wings to folks training raptors and bird dogs. 120 eggs incubated every week, staggered hatches in 3 incubators.
Would suspending bird netting, burlap, or camo mesh from the interior (by loose zip ties or other means) be enough to protect the quail from self injury? Curious if the feeder idea would work for chickens as well - maybe using larger PVC or printed elbows.
Typically for Coturnix just having low clearance is ideal, about 10" max. His set up is better suited for the wild quail like valley or mountain quail, not Japanese domesticated quail that don't sit on eggs to hatch, were developed for commercial egg and meat production.
It is always to see a father/son project. I trust this will work well for the two of you. As a commercial project, are you going to be selling the giant quail fertilized eggs?
Excellent project for a young man. Congratulations on building a strong and functional coop. However, I'm sure you will be adding a rodent trap. The feed and eggs will attract them.
Saw a video last week where the guy found traps online to catch Asian beetles. He freezes them when there are a lot. He feeds them to his chickens and other birds. Free good. Happy birds.
Yeah, those are for Japanese Beetles. It depends on where you live, how fruitful you'll be catching them that way. Definitely an option to consider if you have high populations of invasive Japanese Beetles. I'm sure Shawb probably knows which species of everything are invasive in his area, haha.
there is seriously nothing better than a dad teaching his kids how to build and craft. well done.
Heck yea brother

the quail seem so happy, I have four right now and i love their eggs. I do need to make a bigger coop for them. thanks for giving me ideas
Love this video. Building one this week for my quails. Also, you remind me of one of the guys that was a actor on kids in the hall.
Sterling did a great job getting the hang of the power tools!
Great idea adding that grass to the sides to help protect them from the flying up. Overall, loved the video and your post build review!!!
Oh, I just love it. The building is amazing and well built. I have been wanting to raise quil for a while now to add a great addition to my farm.

Awesome build 👍
Can't predators get in by going under or thru the tarp? Those wire squares look too big?
I love these videos!

Very nice and it looks easy to make
Living Traditions are awesome 😎👍 guess I don't understand why you would put a bottom in it? We build ours on the ground
Right on! Way ta go young man.
looks good. just need to weather seal the wood for longer lasting.

We have a similar water system for our chickens. Works great but we had to build a shed with a small heater so it don’t freeze.
What is the advantage of using floor board with shaving vs without using floor board? Wouldn't natural ground soil be more versatile?
You should add a valve at the barrel and one at the end of the pvc to drain the line if you're in an area that freezes.
Gravity watering cups work well. It seems like your blue ones are gravity fed and working well.
Great video!
Great video.
Thanks for the video it was helpful

Hi it is a great chicken coop how many kilograms do 100 chickens eat per day thank you
I love this project 😊
