Types of Housing (and Natural Options!) For Coturnix Quail
There are so many ways to house your Coturnix quail! We personally prefer to raise our quail on the ground in a natural environment, but the possibilities are endless.
As long as your birds each have at least 1 square foot, shelter from the elements, protection from predators and 24/7 access to fresh food and water - they will be happy as pie!

This a “tell how quail math works without telling me how quail math works!” Love it.
GREAT VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING.
Great video. Thank you from Sydney Australia. 🇦🇺
Very enjoyable and informative. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
Really helpful video, thank you!
That was a cool video. Very informative and nicely put together. Well done!! I took many ideas from you.
Thank you for this information
Great setups. I like the A frame best.
I also saw putting a cage on top of a raised bed and allow them to help fertilize the bed for a while. Kinda like a tractor setup. I want to try that next

That’s an excellent, resourceful idea!
I have all my quail in cages with normal wire floor but they have a big sand bath and where they can get off of the wire and in the winter I put them in a aviary 😂
Very nice Houses for the Quails. But how do you collect the eggs? It must take a long time ...

Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you have a link for those chicken watering tips? Great video!
Thx for sharing. Have you ever had your quail jump up when startled and hurt themselves? Because of this, I have heard no more than 12 inch high ceilings or no less than 5 foot high.

It’s a valid concern! They do jump! Our smaller enclosures are more than 12 in, but out of the hundreds of birds I’ve raised this summer, I only had 1 jump and hit it’s head to the point it resulted in a neurological issue and had to be put down. Something that helps, like with our rectangle coop or totes - is having something as the roof that has “give” to it. Both the hardware cloth top and the corrugated plastic top have bit of give/bounce to it which helped if the birds jump up.
i use a rabbit hutch, cats are a problem with most cages even 1/4 inch wire.

I find our quail are plenty happy with just 1 sq ft/bird, but they do love more space too if it’s a viable housing option! Chickens certainly need a lot more
