- Follow along as we build this epic quail pen!
As we work on turning our homestead into a permaculture-style homestead, we are finding ways to utilize the space and energy around our home. We decided to use a shrub bed that didn't function and create something better!

The best quail enclosure I have seen
Thank you!
This was a pretty cool build. Dad's are awesome
That looks brilliant, so much nicer than a wire floored cage. Well done 👍
Hey, just a thought, I've had luck keeping out rats and mice in voids like the top of the coupe near the drain, by using rock and gravel to fill the void. Use a grade small enough to fit snug but big enough to prevent tunnelling or digging, ie dogs, foxes.
Lovely. Would Love to see pictures of the quail inside the enclosure
So awesome!!! Nicely done!!!
Thank you!
Awesome quail home!! Thank you for sharing!
I have a section like that
Thinking about doing the same thing
looking forward to seeing quail egges soon !. I would love to be homesteading one day
We moved just the older males in right now to see how they respond to the pen and they are doing great! So we will be moving a younger group in hopefully soon. Several of the ideas/techniques we use can be done on a small parcel of land, patio, or back yard!
Magnificent..
Love it
This is SO nice!!! Goals!
Great coup and 🎵 music 🎶
Thank you!
Great job
Thank you!
Nice pen! I'm inspired!
awesome build! thanks for sharing. im right over in north alabama. gettn ready to build me a quail pen as well.
It's been over a year since our build and we are still enjoying it! Good look on your build!
Very nice work okay Papa 😎💯
I want to build something close to that pen👍 for the idea
Me gusta tu musica y tu video también :)
What do you guys do to keep bears away?
Beautiful aviary♥️ working on ours now. Just got 5 celadon babies. 🙌💃🏻 New Sub😘
HOW DID YOU MADE THEM, ANY TUTORIAL ????😊😊😊
Love the accent 👌🏻😍 great pen
Thank you! 😃
You probably want to paint those boards so they don't rot overtime
Yes, I think in the future we will! Or I might just clear seal them.
Chicken wire.. Great for keeping chicken and other birds IN, but not so much for keeping the critters that eat them OUT! A racoon can rip through chicken wire pretty easily not only that but they can reach in and grab a unsuspecting bird by the neck and pull it through the holes in the chicken wire! I hope that doesn't happen to yall! Nice build tho!
You need to get rid of that IVY. I got some at my place that’s been going for 50 years. Good 8 inch diameter vines climbing 200 feet up a tree. It’ll take over the entire structure you just built. And become impossible to remove without destroying it.
The ivy is a crazy fast grower! We trimmed it back throughout the year on the wall before the cage and we continue to trim inside the cage too. Definitely, a problem if you're not willing or can't trim it regularly!
EQUIPMENT AND PRODUCT THAT YOU USED FOR THIS ???
How does gathering eggs go don't they just lay wherever they want?
That is amazing, really cool build. Do they use the extra height though?
Thank you! They love the extra height! Ours will fly around and perch on the branch throughout the day. It is also nice not to have to bend down at all for feeding or cleaning the cage.
Hardware cloth better for quail
Cool build Could I get the plans for it?
Thank you! I don't have any plans for it, we just measured the space we had and went from there, lol! Our goal was to use the un-utilized space for a better purpose.
They're a ground bird. So...
6 feet too tall?🤔
How cold can quail handle in winter?
We live in Mississippi in zone 7B, so we only have to worry about freezing temps just for about 3-4 months. I usually put up a wind blocking board in one corner of the cage to help block the cold and they have a heat lamp in winter.
I think possums are going to get in through the drain if not wrapped with chicken wire
Yes, they would, but we do have the drains covered in smaller heavy duty wire! An a metal sheet deep in the ground on the one side that was vulnerable. :)
