Dez res for Quail.
« on: April 13, 2008, 17:05 »
Today I knocked up something for the trio of quail that I have coming.
The tools of the trade.





I used a sheet of 8ft by 4ft shuttering ply and treated roofing laths.





One of the sides 4ft by 2ft with the laths nailed on as a frame.





and now there are two.





The back and the front quickly added.





Almost the finished article





I'm told that quail tend to fly up and bash themselves on the wire, so all I have to do now , is to make a frame for a lid and use plastic netting rather than wire to staple onto the frame. This pen is for use indoors on concrete floors and I'll be using a layer of wood shavings. I know you can tell from the workmanship that it only took me about half an hour to knock together. : :oops:  :oops:  :oops:   :lol:

If the quail and I get on together, I can see me knocking up another couple of these at least. :-)

We've just made a new run for the Brahmas, I supervised whilst OH worked hard. I did make lots of cups of tea, and gave lots of advice which I don't think he really wanted!!
Happiest in the countryside.
Breathe deeply, and let the butterflies fly in formation!
