On orienting the bottom floor wire...no doubt Dale's first thought would be focussed on minimizing wasted wire mesh. The width of the roll shipped to Dale has surely not been purchased with the egg rollout in mind. In this case quail eggs will be too small to ride/ roll smoothly on either of the two opposite surfaces to choose from. Ideally, you would want the eggs to contact the one-half inch spaced (down hill) surface grid not the 1 inch spaced surface that allows the egg to settle between them to rumble across the 1/2 " wires and not gain a chance to build up any momentum. BUT the reality(as I see it) is all about the width of the coiled roll from the factory to minimize wasted $. Special order (?) a greater width to be able to cut it down the middle and get two cage floors . Or, I guess just slant the floor with a greater pitch and hope the birds don't go lame?
Sometimes the birds walking around will help the eggs roll down from the vibrations. I later ordered the 3 tier and the cage floor orientation was ideal.
Been quietly going insane re “part G”, the front lip. Thank you! Looks like the hinge is indeed visible when closed. Had no idea what they meant by “overhang towards the inside of the cage”
Good looking unit but what’s that wind noise it not bird it’s hell on us old people with hearing aids ? I’m always learning but when noise level is this bad I change vidios
man i can build that same thing for 54$ .you look like you can build youre own .stop wasting money people .i have 230 quail .i have built my own cages since the 80s yes im old but good god 125$ for some thing you can build youre self .its nice but i dont have 125 to waist .i spend 200$ i can build 5 cages .so cheaper then 54$
Well, I wanted to start something that worked. I didn’t want to have to guess the dimensions. I had already built two cages and ran into some pinch points on the cage. I had a few quail die because of that. Dale’s quails was nice enough to send me this unit. I later sold it to a friend that wanted to get started with quail. I then purchased a 3 tier cage from Dale’s quails. I’m very happy with it. It works great!
@@FarmerBrad I'm elderly and don't have the energy for such projects while taking care of everything else I need to, this looks like a good idea for those of us that lacks energy or time.
I agree. In the future if time allows or you have more energy you can base the measurements off the working example to replicate. If I was to build it over again I would add metal flashing over the wood that the metal floor attaches to so the poop doesn’t come in contact with the wood.
Good looking quail hutch and went together nicely.
I just ordered this cage. Thanks for discount code it worked.
No problem. I liked it so much I got the 3 tier one
Did miss the promo code? I’m ordering after I just watched you assemble the cage. But I came back to see if there is a promo code
FARMERBRAD5 it’s in the description

Thanks for sharing!
Great review and build instructions. Used your discount code on their site, thanks 👍🏻

Ya it can be tricky at times, were you able to use our discount code in the description?
thank you. I'm at Bénin i the Ouest Africa. How can i command this cage of quail
Great video on this put together!
I have been thinking about getting 2 trier.
What trays do you use?
I picked them up from an Amish auction and bought as many as I could
I’d never have just one water cup, it can clog and your birds don’t have water. Great set up thou
I have since upgraded to the three tier cage and using a water bar per cage
Is that sound wind or traffic ???? Very loud
How many can you have on that cage
I usually put 12. 10 females and 2 males
Good looking unit but what’s that wind noise it not bird it’s hell on us old people with hearing aids ? I’m always learning but when noise level is this bad I change vidios
Wanted to watch whole vidio but that noice is to much ?God bless
Wynola Ranch cages much better made and comes almost assembled, not so much customer assembly.
What’s the price difference?
Ordered from them. 2 weeks later, still nothing. Disappointed to say the least.
Have you checked on his Facebook page? I know sometimes he gets swamped with orders and it can be 3-4 weeks back ordered.
@@FarmerBrad Not on FB. But that is good to know. I'll give him another chance. Just gotta figure out to do with this wave of chicks...
If close I could use some more, lol

I work 40 hours a week on top of the farm work. This saved me time. Well worth it.
