      Hi George! Thanks for the comment and please see the description of this video- I have a link to the how-to pdf on raising quail (very easy, straight forward guide) that we made for people newer to raising quail. Feel free to reach out to us here or on our Facebook page. Thanks again!

      Thanks! I’m sure I will do a simple how-to with plans. I made a bunch of hutches but used plans from my brain😂 But could get them written down.

      @@thedinosauromelette Thanks!! It looks soo good. I love how you put wood on both sides of the wire mesh so no one is in danger of getting scratched, that was a concern. Can't wait for the quail one! Any dimensions you can give on the quail version would be super helpful. I've been daydreaming about mine all day. These lil stinkers need to get out ma house! 😆

    Hi, what size of hardware cloth are you using I using ½ × ½ but no good all the poop (dropping) don't fall down. I am looking for something don't hurt the birds lag?

    • @thedinosauromelette
      @thedinosauromelette  11 місяців тому +2

      We use 1/2 x 1/2 inch. No problems with poop! Smaller wire would get clogged, for sure. If their legs are being injured look for obstacles or wire burrs (rough wire). Has never been an issue

    wouldn't you want to enclose the sandbox side of the hutch for winter months?

    • @thedinosauromelette
      @thedinosauromelette  3 місяці тому +1

      @@MissingLinkMTB due to their higher body temps and respiration there should be substantial ventilation even in winter! We covered the roof of one hutch one very cold winter for a day and the interior became completely saturated with water vapor and became very wet! So sides and bottom are covered but the roof/ceiling of the hutch has hardwire cloth to allow that ventilation! Thanks for the question!

      @@MissingLinkMTB I’m sorry - you need a roof to protect from rain/sun/snow. I was referring to the individual hutch that will house the quail. I leave the entire top side ventilated (essentially uncovered ) by covering the top in hardware cloth . The hutch with the hardware cloth is attached to supports/legs that will absolutely have a roof. Sorry if what I said earlier I as confusing.

      Is it possible to ship?

    • @thedinosauromelette
      @thedinosauromelette  8 місяців тому

      @@fabriziom2661 hi Fabrizio- we do not ship. We don’t want to have any of our birds injured, sickened or stressed via shipping. So we focus on our location for local pick up. Particularly with these jumbo quail- they grow so quickly that a couple days in transport if stressful may well impact growth.
